"in 1870, about 30% of a person’s entire life was spent working — people worked, slept, and died. Today it’s closer to 10%. Thus in the past 100+ years or so the amount of work in a person’s lifetime has fallen by about 2/3rds" marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

@libsoftiktok Dear Hans...

You just can't take these people seriously anymore.

@martianwyrdlord @walterkirn These guys are really into electronic freedom!

The founder of the Electronic Freedom Foundation vs the current executive director of the Electronic Freedom Foundation.

@AutismCapital Yes, but what did he mean by that?

🚨NEW: New court documents show Tyler Robinson told his boyfriend "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it."

This better be real, my heart won’t take the disappointment if it isn’t

@NASorg This improves upon the century-old model of academic writing, which is constructing only near-perfect sentences that say absolutely nothing.

Because students now use ChatGPT and other AI tools to outline essays, skim readings, and solve homework problems—to perform nearly every assigned task—the majority of the writing they encounter will be AI-generated.

Brian Jacques explains why he does not have sympathetic villains in his Redwall series: "When I was a boy, morality was taught in school and in church but I think that is no longer true to the extent that it used to be. I try to create very clear moral signposts of what is right and what is wrong. The children who read my books are generally at an age where they need to have things spelled out in 'black and white,' without ambiguity. I often tell my readers that my baddies are bad and my goodies are good. I won't have sympathetic baddies and schizophrenic goodies in my books." Should more writers do this?

@kevinlieber Or give it to an 11 year old.

@kevinlieber Do NOT just throw it away. Shred it in a cross-cut shredder so it cannot be read again.

Now reading this famous science textbook

@FilmLadd do you really want to do this

@LifeofTabor Double negative?

Why even *is* Jason Statham?

@sumitomedia I was focusing on the stuff I haven't seen in real life.

@LifeofTabor if you look closely there's also a cat doing kung fu

The entire cartridge -- bullet, casing, and unstruck primer -- fire out of this gun.

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

@astridtgtz I didn't realize bullets fired along with the shell casing and intact primer.
