  1. The Goldfish Never Said That

    A fabricated statistic taught a generation to believe their minds had broken. The truth about attention is stranger, and it names a culprit nobody wants to indict. Picture the goldfish. You have met it a thousand times, in conference keynotes and morning television and the opening line of ten thousand blog posts. It swims in its little bowl of received wisdom and carries one damning number on its back: nine seconds of attention, a full second longer than the modern human animal. We hold nuclear codes and write string quartets, and we supposedly lose the thread after eight seconds while the fish swims on, victorious. The crown of creation, outconcentrated by a snack with fins. […]

  7. A very tiny #ThrowbackThursday art from 2008: some goldfish, painted as a part of a college assignment to create a music album cover. This was one of my abandoned sketches.

  8. Ah, yes, yet another "groundbreaking" paper on #memory #management for AI—because clearly, that's what’s been holding back our sentient #robot #overlords from taking over the world. 🤖🔍 Who knew that the future of #AI depended on making sure it remembers as well as a #goldfish at a sushi bar? 🐠🍣

  13. 🎨 A quick one sitting goldfish study I painted on my iPad yesterday.

    Likely the start of a larger art project so there could be future goldfish content on my timeline as I concept and refine.

  16. And the winner is… Weekly Recap 4/6/2026

    Cats are obviously the best pet.

    When you win the affection of a cat, you have become a god.

    I’m not really sure what qualifies as the worst type of pet because I have an obnoxious adoration of all animals. If we look at it purely in terms of interactions, however, then fish are probably the strangest. Our environments are just too different.

    I’ve never seen a goldfish nuzzle anyone. Have you?

    Note: Fans of dogs need not reply to my opening statement. I’m not saying that I don’t like dogs. I do! It’s just that cats are better. And no matter how much you love dogs, you still know that I’m right.

    Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

    Last week, my book officially started shipping from Crossed Crow. And today, it’s been released on Amazon. Have you gotten a copy yet?

    I’m obviously pretty excited about it, so I wrote a short post about how writing is alchemy. If you are reading and enjoying the book, then it would be awesome if you also leave a review somewhere. Help me raise it up from the depths of obscurity.

    Over the weekend, Selene and I went to one of those classes where they give you step-by-step instructions on how to paint.

    And we attempted to paint some sort of sunset-colored, moonlit sky over mountains.

    For it being one of our first times attempting such a thing, I think we did a pretty great job. Honestly, I felt a little lost during certain parts, especially when we were blending, but hey… there’s actually some sort of a gradient in my painting, so… success?

    Regardless, it was fun.

    We also got some munchies. Egg salad on a croissant? Yes please, I’ll try that.

    I am currently uploading a new episode of M3 to Patreon as an early release for supporters. It features Amber Rae. It’ll be up as soon as Patreon stops throttling my transfer speeds—at the moment, it’s looking like it’ll take a couple of hours, but it keeps hitting 10% and then kicking me out. I’ll keep at it!

    This month is pretty much the last push before my semester is over, so I’m off to go do some homework!

    Don’t worry, more is coming soon. Stay tuned!

  18. 🎉 Wow, someone finally made a language model that blubbers like a goldfish! 🐠 With a whopping 9 million parameters, it’s a marvel of "innovation" that could probably answer "Hello?" if you asked it thrice. #GitHub must be thrilled to host yet another #techno-novelty no one asked for! 🙄

  22. #FishFriday:
    William Franklin Draper (USA, 1912-2003)
    Studio #Aquarium, 1960
    Oil on board, 29" W x 25" H (73.7 cm x 63.5 cm)
    “In addition to being an accomplished artist, Draper was a founder of the American #Goldfish Society, and visitors adored this large tank in his studio.”

  23. #FishFriday 🐠:
    Alexander Calder (USA, 1898-1976)
    #Goldfish Bowl, 1929
    Wire, 16 x 15 x 6 in.
    Calder Foundation, NY
    calder.org/works/wire-sculptur
    ℹ️ This is Calder’s his first formal mechanized sculpture - the two fish wiggle as you turn a crank. He gave it to his mother as a Christmas gift.

  27. #Goldfish are freshwater fish belonging to the carp family and were first selectively bred for color in China over 1,000 years ago

  28. GitHub wants to turn #Claude into a #memory champion, but it's like asking a #goldfish to solve a Rubik's #Cube. 🤦‍♂️ Just throw in some #AI buzzwords and hope for the best, because forgetting everything is a feature, not a bug! 😂

  31. CW: USPol - Trump, tariffs

    As a consequence of these various #personality, #temperament, and #intellectual #deficits, Trump is, for a world leader, amazingly easy to #manipulate.

    If you #butter him up, and suggest doing something will make him look good - well, there's a good chance he'll listen intently. He likes to listen to people telling him he's wonderful, and giving him easy ways to appear more wonderful. Much better than listening to people asking him to choose between tough or ugly choices on complicated subjects.

    He's also got that tendency where he believes whatever the last person he spoke to told him. This is why people - remember those oligarchs who were literally in front-row seats at his inauguration? - want to be close to him, figuratively and literally. If you keep his #ear, you can keep him behind your needs, your ideas, your wants.

    So, given all this, why the hell did he declare #economic #war on #Canada (and Mexico, and China, but I'm #Canadian) when it was:

    (a) obviously a bad idea for the US and the world #economy; there will be pain, and it will hurt him - price of eggs and all that
    (b) not something that was going to personally #profit him in any big way
    (c) not in the interests of his #billionaire oligarchs
    (d) not a primary plank in his campaign - at least not in this scorched-earth approach he's taken

    Why?
