Akihiro Miwa is a legend. Fukasaku's Black Lizard and Black Rose Mansion are both incredible heaters, Miwa just devours every scene. Here's the scene where you get to see Miwa turn Yukio Mishima into a human statue. Best bond villain in history.

Bialys from Bialy Birds! 😋

it's official: these new bathrooms in pdx airport represent the peak of human accomplishment. individual, private rooms. no gaps. a shared sink and waiting area. light, bright, pleasant. accessible. the toilet gold standard. we did it folks

Y'all this seems legit (I read it). It is INSANE. On par w ancient Egyptian etc.

The Chrome DevTools team are doing a "papercuts" sprint where they try to address lots of small, irritating bugs and annoyances. Reply with crbug.com links (no bug, no fix—that's the deal!) and will see what we can do. No promises though as some may be features/too big/unclear how to solve.

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

Sometimes I consider myself pretty stoic and reserved, and other times I get very emotional about Nier Automata Ending E

We were walking the dog and half the block exploded with cheering and that’s how we found out the Knicks won, congrats NYC 💙 🧡 🏀

the success of Backrooms means Hollywood now has no excuse but cowardice for refusing to produce a Groverhaus movie.

San Francisco is really beautiful, I love coming down here 💕

If you go into an OSS project’s issue tracker and open an issue that’s just a screenshot of an aggrieved Mastodon post with no actionable bug report, you’re a loser, I’m sorry. github.com/RsyncProject...

When I woke up this morning I didn't think I'd be spending a bunch of time today getting familiar with Catholic theology, but here we are. Notes on Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI. simonwillison.net/2026/May/25/...

I'm currently looking for some mix of Rust and LLM work, with a focus on Bay Area hybrid roles. I'm in the pipeline at a couple of places, but I'm open to exploring opportunities so please reach out if there's anything that you think might be a good fit (DMs open)

This was my last week at Slack - what an amazing 5 1/2 years, the best team I’ve ever been part of, and truly a dream product to work on. Excited for what’s next in June, but going to really miss the people here ❤️

When a woman says 5 minutes, think like 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter and both teams have all of their timeouts.

One of my favorite podcasts series, The Lovecraft Investigations, is raising money for their next series. It looks like they might get fully funded within 30 minutes of launch. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/j...

@bskyrad.io Can I request "hyacinth" by In Love With a Ghost, please? Thanks!

I know this is bottom tier rage bait from the shell that used to be WaPo, but free diapers are actually awesome and we should do this everywhere!

Our friend's dog passed away, and I think Luna can sense the weakness in us right now because she is absolutely hamming it up (begging at the table, digging out her toys and bringing them to us, etc)

This is so unwise to post, but: Data centers do a ton of things we rely on and we will need more. They‘re also a perfect target for vicious reforms. “Zero new data centers without [X large percent renewables] plus siting away from residential and nothing off-grid,” or what have you.

Big thanks to the OpenCode team for this great blog post on why they’re moving the desktop app to Electron, it was an interesting read dev.to/brendonovich...

Oh good I’m glad GitHub is addressing their urgent issues by (checks notes) …doing layoffs again today

If you’re a Portland small business running a maker’s market, please please list your address somewhere on your Instagram and/or website so that I can find you and buy things ( ; _ ;)

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

Container Timing is a new web performance metric to measure when an area of the screen gets painted ⏲️ @jdapena.bsky.social and @jason-williams.co.uk have been working on it for the last couple of years. It's in Chromium, behind a flag. Hopefully coming to an origin-trial near you soon!

I am having so much fun with Resident Evil 9, what a delightfully stupid game, just motorcycle jousted against a bad guy on a highway bridge, and the bad guy's bike spun off the bridge and literally exploded and Leon said, "Should have worn a helmet", I hope they make 12 more of these games

Hot take, but I actually think this is good? I just ran a marathon two weeks ago in hotter-than-expected conditions and it got a little scary; I watched a few people around me go down from the heat/need a medic. This seems like a fine way to keep people safe - let them have their medal, who cares

i almost had my head bitten off by a giant freakish monster, why is this old man making lame jokes at me 😭 #re9
