to whoever in history actually originated the quote "If you're not a liberal when you're young, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're old, you have no brain" did u consider the simpler explanation is maybe just that ur an asshole?

New York's proposed budget can pass any day now. Contact your representatives NOW to demand they keep censorship and surveillance out of the budget. www.eff.org/3dprintny

It turns out that LLMs, IoTs, and surveillance capitalism were just stepping stones on the road set forth upon us by the original Furby (1998), merely to bring us here to this inevitable, hellish, logically-extreme conclusion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHFW...

trust your instincts

It is going to be very, very karmic if this administration (and its wealthy sponsors) piss off the rest of the world enough that they won't let even the wealthiest of US citizens emigrate, and then we vote in candidates who can try them and tax them into the ground once they have nowhere to run.

what does it say about me that I saw this and *immediately* parsed it as "HALF LIFE 3" before literally any other word

I'm OK with one round of taxes but when you tax my income and then charge me sales tax on a used item that has already had sales tax paid on it (when it was bought new) and THEN the reseller also gets charged income tax on that same money, the government(s) need to kick rocks or give us healthcare 😡

I predict that by 2030 fashion trends will move waist and hemlines of pants to their logical conclusion

It doesn't matter if you are urban, suburban, or rural... first, second, or third world... rich or poor... the overuse of cars is making your life worse.

Easily my favorite site design I've seen in a long, long time. Maximize the screenshots and let those Obama-era social-media logos soak in. It even has table-based site navigation menus, <td> tags with inline JS in <a onmouseover>, just as nature intended. They don't make 'em like this anymore folks

why is everyone saying "zero 9's"? I totally still see two 9's. (*three* 9's if you include the 95 incidents)

@tonsky.me has a cool blog, but have you ever looked at the buttons on the top right of tonsky.me ? (warning: i died)

I've been on lobste.rs for 12 years, and submitted my first story yesterday. A friend messaged me a bit ago that it's number 1 on the site now! That's kinda neat (considering the subject matter too).

I could not have clicked the "not interested" and "don't recommend channel" buttons any faster

I did some intense research and found legitimate reasons for Bluesky to verify @jcsalterego.bsky.social, the chatbots are confused. Also this LLM is clearly bad, not only is it trying to steal Jerry's job (spreading misinformation) but it doesn't even refer to the underlying issue as "Jerrification"

I was pricing out how many wooden nickels I can get for my old firewire audio interface and found this gem in sold items matching the query

I actually have *two* budgets for paying rent, the second of which tracks the psychic damage of paying it

*glances at my weather graph app I run 24/7 on the wall, notices -13 degree windchill WITH 45 mph wind gusts* "what in the fresh hell"

this is the first error page I've ever seen from them and it somehow reinforces my belief that @letterboxd.social is a good website

I just ran across a sponsor / advertisement baked front and center into a software project's README. I can't recall ever seeing something like that before (vs. sponsors at the bottom). Has this been "a thing" for some time and I just use too much FOSS / esoteric software to run into it before?

Hey @nytimes.com is there an actual reason to be mealy mouthed and not just say outright "Trump Confuses Greenland for Iceland"? He did it so many times, it's unambiguous. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u... Like, are you actually worried he's going to double down or is it mitigating lawsuit risk or
