crazy how despite the "media explosion" and the buzz about media bubbles and audience fragmentation, all the people making all the best stuff are all watching each other's stuff and it all happens to be the same stuff that i personally like. what are the odds

hyperbole is dead. the idiots stole it from us and kicked it to death. now the best way to emphasize something is by being very reasonable and measured

Rejoice!

VOLITION - Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You'll get it in the next life, where you don't make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you're alive.

man he's good. this also works as a reminder of what fuckin freaks normal politicians are. it's not that hard to smile and riff off something like this but how often do you see it happen

Popping open my vape and switching the indica cartridge out for a sativa one like I’m in neuromancer

It must be so annoying when your website breaks and everyone just starts refreshing fast as possible while you scramble to fix it

in a recent battlebots season there was one competitor that was 100% self-driving and it felt - to a surprising degree - like a strong, fundamental betrayal of the spirit of the sport. even though the entire point is we're here to watch robots fight. good news though, that bot lost every match hard

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

i could be a ceo. there's ceos who you bring in when you want to ruin a company. there's ceos you bring in when you want things to go just ok. and i'm saying that could be me

dudes rock

The reason I think this is bad (and I have heard many authors say this in various forms privately) is that you start chasing shadows. Imagining someone's going to be furious, when most people are just curious, and their most likely reaction is not love or hatred, but indifference.

Btw, related to this, I've come to believe one of the worst things about social media is that it makes you believe the average person is a give-a-shit type of person. That thing that matters a lot to you and everyone you know here? Most people would hear you reference it and think "huh."

Me, every time someone posts something news related

if an athlete does a little clap to hype up the audience i'm like oh that's cute and fun. clap clap clap. good luck bud! but if they do it every time it starts to feel thirsty

Just hire all the laid off reporters. Call it the Washington Citizen or something. Doesn’t seem that hard.

Saw a fucked up cat in Paris today

Scotland has passed a law that all new buildings must install ‘swift bricks’ which are hollowed out bricks to help nesting swifts and other endangered birds! Swifts are especially endangered because so many chimneys now have chimney caps. Swifts return to the same nesting spot year after year.

shout out to the like three to five of you on here who don't suck

lcamtuf.substack.com/p/its-all-a-... you probably already know that blurring doesn't destroy information. but did you know that blurring + jpeg compression produces cool glitch art

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

kitty at my foot and i WANT TO TOUCHIT

Guile... Guinan... Guilenan

we must go back in time and prevent this Event

I wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...

I have made... a mistake. Each auction lot had 8-12 photos, so I assumed that was the number of pieces in the lot. It was merely a sample. Each lot contains 100-ish pieces. I won three lots.

at this point if you haven't ever been laid off that's kind of a red flag

feel a bit guilty for making fun of Chomsky because you’re only supposed to make fun of living people and dead people. People in the weird shadow zone in between have it hard enough already

pretty sure it's bad for the regime when the lawyers trying to defend its secret police are asking to go to jail instead.

in 2026, let's bring back the concept of "selling out" and once again make it contemptible

yes and notably - especially in the case of code - this liability is owned by the people being encouraged to use the tool, not by the people doing the encouraging

what's with that style of writing where you write bad and it sucks. why are so many people doing that

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

short horror films are so back

lying down and feeling layers of sediment collect around me

Why did you teach your dog to beg are you some kind of twisted fuck

are people ok

ai-written READMEs have the absolute most rancid vibes and practically every vibe coded project has one and it's kinda nice because it makes it easy to tune them out

Oh my god oh my god

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

according to bluesky, working for ice is a protected class against discrimination lol

Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

i took the most stable job i could find and the world laughed

you don’t gotta use ai man this stuff is just out here for free

it gives me no pleasure to admit that the rust evangelists were right all along

Fundamentally the use of generative AI imagery gives me the same uncanny feeling as when someone is lying to my face. My numerous ideological objections are all secondary to the immediate sensation of being lied to and the anger that inevitably follows

True middle age begins at the exact moment when you and your friend who send other videos of delusional idiots to laugh at over Instagram DM send your first video that's funny for the reason the original poster intended.

We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's standard library from the GPU. This has never been done before. www.vectorware.com/blog/rust-st... Supporting Rust's standard library enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming feel normal.
