Data Diva

I once rented a garage apartment for a night on Christmas Eve to be near my partner's kid. We ended joining the hosts from the main house for a campfire that night and talked about the universe. It was very awesome. And very different from renting a house that was taken off the housing market.

If you want to go as #NotriousRBG for Halloween, Might I recommend this? www.datadiva.net/product-page...

My Grandmother cut her mother off the old fashioned way. She moved to an island off the coast of Alaska 4000 miles away. Adults cutting off parents isn't new, it's just that now staying in touch if you don't live close by is a lot easier so it's more obvious.

A reminder that when James Hetfield was told Metalicca music was used to torture prisoners in Iraq, he responded "If the Iraqis aren't used to freedom, then I'm glad to be part of their exposure." He also expressed skepticism about climate change at a Live Earth concert. He's always been trash.

It's hard to get data about sexual assaults on campus like the one at Cornell because schools have an incentive to hide it. But I wonder if there has been an uptick as the boys who grew up listening to Andrew Tate and those like him are entering college.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel weren't on the list of top 100 TV shows of the 21st century, but the rules stated it's based on where they began. Which is fair for Buffy, but Angel only had 8 episodes before 2000.

Quotes that didn't age badly, just very weirdly.

I've been making jokes about Macklemore having good values but bad music, but seriously, this song is a banger. youtu.be/MLuDL-TlJgg?...

This Bi Visability day, celebrate with a queer dinosaur, like the Biceratops or the Panadactyl. www.datadiva.net/product-page...

If a list of the best 100 TV shows of the 21st century doesn't include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it better be because it's production was in two centuries.

First game I played and got really into was Mario on NES, but by this definition, probably Kingdom Hearts.

Am I the only one who think Warren Bufferr and Howie Buffett look like they are the same age?

Might I suggest we swap the phrase 'Good enough for government work' with 'Good enough for profit-driven work'

And the closed polling sites were concentrated in poorer zip codes

I went to a college with a fair-sized Arabic population in a small town. International students were stuck on campus because they would get harassed if they left. One guy had to move dorms so he wouldn't have to cross the road to get to class, after someone nearly ran him over.

$2 gas is coming soon! If you mean per liter.

Starting to think that entertainment via shadow puppets on the cave wall is the way to go.

If anyone is wondering when Star Trek went woke, it was 11 seconds into the first episoide, when you had a shot of a multi-ethnic people working together. Including a Black woman in a position of responsibility. In the words of Whoopie Goldberg, "There's a Black woman on TV and she ain't no maid!"

Hasn't just about every jobs report been later revised downward since we entered this Kafkaesque administration?

This means a change from about 3,500 people per polling place to almost 5,000 per polling place. And the decrease is concentrated more heavily in poorer areas.

canada: "fuck you, americans!" americans: "yeah, that's fair, fuck us up"

Has the @theatlantic.com always been this terrible, or is it just the past couple of years? Because they've had some really awful takes lately.

Do people not remember that AI is the villain in about half of sci-fi distopias for a REASON?

I'm at 2, both of whom are in political news lately.

Can someone who uses @aimod.social tell me if my icon is being marked as AI? I got accused of it a few days ago. I commissioned this from a graphic designer. In 2020. Pretty sure it's not AI.

Being a data nerd means that my tables in my schima are pristine, and my tables at home are covered in supplies for 3 different hobbies, cat fur, a set of cooking knives, and 1 cat.

The fact that someone put me on a list called "Twitter Trolls" for being anti-AI, when Twitter has an AI that calls itself mecha-Hitler, is pretty hillarious.

I really do hate it when dates are stored as varchar instead of, you know, dates. Yes, I can cast them, but it's just a silly way to store the data. takes up a lot more space as well.

“There’s this famous 80-year old we need to you to bring in.” Grim Reaper: “Done!” “Hold on, not that one. This one appeared in Home Alone 2.” Grim Reaper: “Done!” “Would you please stop and just listen to the rest of the instructions?”

We lost Tim Curry and Anthony Head within a few weeks of each other. Both played Dr. Frank-in-Furter in Rocky Horror, one on screen and one on stage.

I wear a bike helmet because I spent 19 years shoving knowledge into my brain, and would rather not have that brain spread out on the road. I've actually had my noggin saved by a helmet 2x. Once I wasn't even on my bike(I was walking down a set of wet stairs to it),the other I fell on the sidewalk.

So will the tariff-free imported beef be inspected for screwworm?

How much of a 'spreadsheet people' am I? I once named my children in a videogame after Excel formulas. And I'm totally going to get a kitty and name it conCATinate one of these days.

I'm one of the spreadsheet people. I teach a class in Excel, cofounded @generationdata.bsky.social to help teach Excel, and non-ironically use the term 'recreational spreadsheets'. I also deeply hate AI.

“AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months” 😳

I've always wanted a black cat to minimize how much hair shows on my clothes, but the cat distribution system has only seen fit to send me white bellied cats.

I think my roommate took my whole jar of cookie butter and I'm considering kicking her out over it.

It's unfortunate that the platform used by most progressive campaigns and organizations is using AI. They currently have a near-monopoly, but many customers want an alternative. The change in interface and adding AI might just push some clients over the edge.

Every year at the Perseid meteor shower I listen to 2 songs. Elton John's Captain Jack, and Urban Method's Airplanes. youtu.be/eNjgxX9z-ms?...
