my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

The Criminal

Doodle of an orange cat with a piece of crumpled plastic in his mouth. He is running away quickly, wide-eyed. There is text from someone shouting "WHO IS EATING PLASTIC!!!"

Usually I'm like "Why do people act like cats are unreadable? Their body language is perfectly easy to understand and they're just being dumb" then she comes and bites my armpit while purring her heart out so I don't know anymore

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Cozzie? No two Australians have EVER had the same slang.
Also the station I transfer at on the way to school has swoop warnings cycling on the timetables.

tarragonthedragon on tumblr: "always fascinated by which things people assume are unique to their culture and which they assume are universal. listening to an australian podcast right now and they are very confident that nobody will understand that 'cozzie' is short for 'swimming costume' and explain it every time it comes up, but they give zero information about swooping season because surely everyone gets attacked by birds for like a month a year"

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

The thing about AI is that it ultimately doesn't matter how realistic it gets, or looks, or sounds, or seems - those are all red herrings. The problem at its heart is that nothing it produces comes from a real person, and it therefore has no aesthetic value. That's it. No more needs to be said.

My patience with everyone and everything is getting thinner and thinner and I don't know how much it's age, depression, or just the state of things.
I can't pretend to give a crap anymore.

A treat. Especially as those games aren't even properly available anymore!
I guess the rainbow horns can fix some of these issues but I'm not gonna use preorder items to make the game easier.
