Jesus Christ - Zaslav is going to receive nearly a billion dollars for taking a giant portfolio of high-value brands and turning it into a pile of worthless garbage.

My "Not involved with Jeffery Epstein" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

I went and saw Project Hail Mary. A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie. Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that. He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

Dear AWS: what the fuck.

Happy Easter y’all (and happy vernal equinox 15 days early for those who don’t celebrate)

I love the delivery-driver-pet-interaction videos. So here’s one of ours from today. Sound on.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Here’s your shot/chaser for this Friday.

Oh we’re doing favorite tweets again? I have a few. Here’s one.

This is exactly why we need every major outlet to hire dedicated repro reporters - and why I publish Abortion, Every Day. We are *fucked* if our gov't can label IUDs and the pill "abortion" and the nation's biggest papers don't think that's worth writing about

Another massive battery storage record in California (CAISO) yesterday, March 29 🔋 At 7pm, batteries reached 12.3 GW of output, meeting 42.8% of demand! And it's not just a short peak anymore. Batteries stayed above 20% of grid supply from 5.50pm to 9.35pm, almost four hours.

Oh, wow. After nearly a decade of slowly devolving into the most clickbaity, hyped-up, links-to-scams-and-paywalled-articles cesspool, the Firefox "new tab" page is finally... back. Normal. Unshittified. Clean. Usable.

New tell-all autobiography that calls into question whether she is, in fact, lump.

Well, this is a somewhat different interpretation of the fundamentals laid out in the Sermon on the Mount.

if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different? here is a timeline of JK Rowling's transphobia: web.archive.org/web/20241225... & here is where her HP money is going: www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

Something I think the general public hasn’t been told much about is just how rapid and impactful the move to renewables has been in Texas. Last night, well over half of Texas’s power came from wind. As I type this, over 80% is coming from wind+solar.

*stares in Mountbatten-Windsor*

TIL that the IRS has a special “1040-SR” form that is identical to a normal 1040 in every important way except that it has larger print. I’m a huge fan of accessibly, so this seems like a great thing to have. It is illegal to use form 1040-SR unless you are 65 or older.

Something really interesting for my network nerds; this hadn’t been on my radar at all. www.theregister.com/2026/03/17/s...

You need to stop right now and read these reviews.

Beware the πdes of March Which reminds me — today is the day to pick up a corned beef brisket so you can start it in the sous vide tomorrow morning to have it ready in time for dinner on Tuesday. ☘️

Like if we could gauge the climate form your window or the economy from the status of Dave, we would consult those them instead of having giant agencies and firms taking data.

Even ignoring everything else, I will remain a Barilla fan because they’re the only pasta maker who has the presence of mind to print the cooking time in large type on the front of the box. Like, the shape and how long it takes is all I care about when I’m cooking, and I don’t have time to search.

"Now I just need to figure out how to hook up S/PDIF output from a light saber in a non-ridiculous way."

"I always say, 'Not every Republican is a racist. But if you're a racist and you're looking for a party...'" — Bill Maher

It’s just such a silly argument. If people want to bring the country leftwards but think religious people shouldn’t be part of it they’re ignoring everyone from Martin Luther King to 3/4 of places where a country has moved leftward

The strangest thing to me here is that if you really listen to Talarico speak, he’ll say the most hardcore humanist thing you can possibly think of and then cite chapter and verse of, say, Matthew to back it up. Don’t let the appeal to religious believers make you disbelieve the sentiment.

so here’s the thing about this primary: I would happily have supported either candidate in the general and I think you should too cornyn bad, paxton worse, I do not actually want to spend a lot of time on bitter recriminations here

Here’s how democracy is going in Texas. www.dallasnews.com/news/electio...

It is 2026 and we are going to un-cure a whole slate of deadly functionally-cured diseases.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

… why is the “flag of Bouvet Island” emoji — identical to the flag of Norway but an independent Unicode code point — trending?

OH MY GOD STOP

Holy shit this thread. Read the whole thing.

What the fuck.

Just straight-up yakkity-sax-style keystone cops incompetence going on here.

Hey, you wanna see something hilarious? This thread and then… this trademark registration.

An Exploit … in CSS?! css-tricks.com/an-exploit-i...

This seems bad.

I love actionable alerts.

Honestly a little confused at this point about whether this message is trying to get people to vote for or against her.

Looks like NYPD could learn a thing or two from their mayor about their fear of snowballs.

Some news I missed from last Friday: 93% of the 86 gigawatts of new utility-scale generating capacity that will be added to the U.S. grid this year will come from solar, storage, and wind (and that's just utility scale, without talking about VPPs and DERs) www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...

This thread. As someone who grew up in Texas, this once-and-future ethos is why I stay here and why I still very much identify with the state.

This is basically what I’ve been trying to tell people, but explained in a much better way. I’m certain Talarico could wipe the floor with Paxton. I’m less so about the other two primary candidates.

Yeah, so… this is the problem in a nutshell.
