Millions of workers are toiling away from their families over the holidays. So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Pay all workers a living wage.

ALMOST EVERYTHING about penguins is cute.

There is *one exception*: they are champion poop producers. Specifically, they would win the long-distance contest.

Humboldt penguins can propel poop well over twice their own height (picture is unrelated).

Warning: thread contains penguin defecation.

Here’s a mental palette cleanser to counter the usual corporate greed we see everyday - an actually nice story about a CEO that gave a shit about the people who helped make him successful. In a world of Trumps & Musks, be #GrahamWalker 😊

When you come across a forgotten grave in that part of the boneyard that has already been reclaimed by the wood it was once cut from, your memory for superstition sharpens. You recall unbidden how if a name is erased on a stone, the dead below wake. – #MattAdams, 1981

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Winter conducts its slow seduction. It has disrobed the trees, its cold kisses make them shiver. Revelation of their wooden bones offers us a new, intimate language. They speak of swelling dark and coming ice. They speak their lover's secret names. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981 #Winter

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

ChatGPT’s signature writing style is everywhere now, and I hate it. It reminds me of when we tried mixing all the beverages at the soda fountain in middle school. We didn’t actually create the perfect drink, we just made a cloying monstrosity that lost everything good about its constituent parts.
