Love these pearls carved into little skulls. But, most necklaces that use them call too much attention to them, too goth, too edgy for me. Ever since I first saw this kind of bead I knew *just* how they ought be used:

A perfectly normal-looking small pearl necklace unless you look closer. Something that isn't noticed right away. A wink... in jewelry form.

I'm going to knot two versions, one all black, one all white.

I wonder how hard it is to carve a pearl?

So folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread 🧵.

I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.

Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.

The Times has this story about new discoveries in the case of Airman Jack Teixeira. It’s excellent. But the lede is that he has a “troubling” history of making racist remarks.

Now look what’s in paragraphs 21-23. Is it possible they missed the lede?

Powerful joint statement on the use of AI from the FTC and other federal agencies.: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/EEOC-CRT-FTC-CFPB-AI-Joint-Statement%28final%29.pdf

tl;dr — `It wasn't me, it was the AI' is not a defense against illegal discrimination or other forms of harm.
