I get kind of emotional about crinoids.

A haunting video of the crinoids of the ancient seas and the hat snails that lived with them.

The animation is credited at the end, I'd love to know more about how this was made!

The tabby cat implies the existence of the &nbsp; cat and the <br> cat.

@Rubelicious

mmmm ... mmmm

it's SO GOOD.

@mikemccaffrey I thought it was too wild to take seriously

my apologies

@Callalily ah should have tagged this a fiction!

Is not a well known convention.

I knew I would live to see it. High Speed Rail has come to America at long last. 4/4

Someone said we should duck and cover— but I couldn’t look away I wanted to see where we were going.

As the speed increased the rattle of the wheels on the tracks grew more violent beneath us. Now and then we’d catch a little air-

This was only more ominous since most of the buildings were below us now. It was getting harder to move around the train the acceleration had us pinned place.

With a final violent shudder that cracked every window we broke the sound barrier.
3/

But when the train came out into daylight shuddering like a rocket ship? that is when we all began to scream.

We pulled on the emergency brakes— a tall man with powerful arms managed to pry the door between the next car open a crack but that only added the noise of the rushing air to our cries of terror— some poor teacher had been marking exams and the car filled with red-inked papers—

outside the Bronx was a blur of green and brick buildings and the train was only going faster. 2/

:: something has gone terribly wrong with the D train. It started after 59th street where the train goes express gaining speed as the stations of the upper west blur by and in a blink you’re at 125th st. — or that is how it works normally — but this time the train never stopped— we hit Harlem at 60mph and only kept accelerating— and then the Bronx stations came fast too fast to read the signs— for a bit everyone was just sitting quiet thinking this was some kind of normal detour. 1/ #fiction

Quiet acts of unspeakable death defying bravery.

You never said anything about it before, but that won’t do anymore. You have never once said “no” before, always the team player— but what kind of team is this? Is it even really on your side?

@kuriko

Is *that* why I keep waking up at the Best Western by the airport???

I should really stop falling in lava so much.

I don’t remember where I heard this, it’s been on my mind as of late.

“In my day the computers would scream and scream when we connected them to the internet… but did we listen? No. We did not listen…”

I’ve been very happy about the standardized tests moving to using “desmos” rather than expecting every HS student to buy an expensive graphing calculator. But I just had the most horrible thought: what if these clowns try to put an AI button in desmos too?

No cloud software is ever safe.

Math teachers WILL RIOT

@toerror

It’s in the notepad too now?

I’m going to go back to using a 486 luggable if this keeps up.

I’m just trying to *teach* but this annoying blue button feels like it just gets in the way. Gemini was trying to auto-complete all of my code examples. Like a student who calls out the answer so no one gets to think about the question. (and sometimes it’s wrong)

Happily in “settings” you can turn all of the AI off.

But the blue button— it is still there. This really feels desperate.

Are you bloodless?
An acolyte of the order of ambition?
What kind word missed your youthful ears?
What sudden cruelty of chance opened that well of endless cynicism?
“I don’t want any friends”
“I don’t want to be ‘happy’”
So you say all dressed in sophisticated contempt beyond your years.

And though I can’t know what monster goes by the name of “happiness” for you and I cannot know what spiteful creature has pretended to be “friendship” I recognize your self reliance.

@elizabethtasker

"mitten girls" must be stopped

@fro_vo

So... a BULL?
