This is really, really great. It explains the whole Peter Thiel/Antrichrist thing and its roots in Carl Schmitt. www.wired.com/story/the-re...

I thought this was nice.

I love the bus so…

Many thanks to @mariabustillos.com for this beautiful write up about the new headquarters of @internetarchive.eu at Oudeschans in downtown Amsterdam. We were blessed with glorious weather and an incredible group of people came alive with voices, laughter, ideas, and shared commitment. /1

I’ve been trying aggressive wholesomeness as a strategy but I might just need to switch to shrooms.

Here it is: The @wired.com Politics Issue is now live, with more stories rolling out all week. We're so proud of this one. Behold this cover; truly a work of art. And we're treating it that way: Starting today, you can find it on murals, billboards, and posters across in five U.S. cities.

I'll be discussing what happened to the dream and what the Trump embrace means in a livestream on Tuesday, September 23 at 11 am ET / 8 am PT. Join and ask us question! www.wired.com/story/livest...

Because I’m Anglo and out on my bike ride the other Anglos keep asking me how to cross the street at this Mexican pride parade on Madison Ave and I’m like man they got ladies dancing with pineapples what the hell else do you have on your calendar?

BBC News Pidgin’s Instagram account is the only news source I still trust.

Apropos of that, have you seen this outtake where they go off on Protestants? My guess is, Gene had just been turned down for a loan from Northern Trust. https://youtu.be/ALFpRJKnK2U?si=39OdTDdi7CJZAt_K

There really is no predictive model that works with this many variables. Frameworks everywhere but…even “seasons” doesn’t work in the same way that it used to. Pick a future, I guess! Anyway here’s some shoes people were drying out a second story window that made me laugh for no good reason.

A Boom of One’s Own.

I will never not share this story: www.gq.com/story/inside...

Does the Anthropic settlement represent the largest investment into the commons made by any technology company ever? I know it is neither an investment and the money is not being distributed to the commons but you know what I mean. I can’t think of anything at this scope that flowed to creators.

This week, I sat down with @bencollins.bsky.social. He pulled no punches in his assessment of the news business, confessed to a devastating addiction to Balatro (which I will not be downloading), and told me his employees should "pick up hammers and throw them at my head." Why? Click to find out!

I saw this and nearly dropped my Sony Discman. But you know it made me think. When I was younger you didn’t have to choose one side. You could choose as many sides as you wanted. Cortana send to [email protected].

Truncation always tells the truth.

This is supposed to be ironic but I saw it and went “Yeah!”

When zombies are busy they order from Flesh Direct.

Do you remember how in the 90s you’d go to bed and turn off the light and then you had absolutely no way to read Oscar Peterson’s Wikipedia page.

Just this for miles today, all day, every window. Too much to handle.

Y'all @flaminghydra are making a whole lot of reflowable EPUBs for sale (not license) to libraries; we'd be most grateful for expert help/advice on things like - resizing images most efficiently - the dread TOC and endnotes - cataloguing Please get in touch with us at [email protected], thx!!

#ThrowbackThursday: In 1980 the 🌍🌎🌏 was declared #smallpox free, thanks to mass vaccination efforts. Smallpox was an acute contagious disease caused by the variola virus. It was one of the most devastating diseases known to humanity. #VaccinesWork

I wrote a little bit about how and why AI is good at bureaucracy, which is interesting to bureaucracy freaks like me. aboard.com/ai-is-a-powe...

I don't have any special knowledge but wow this by @espiers.bsky.social feels right. www.elizabethspiers.com/why-dems-kee...

Let's say you had the dumb urge to blog in 2025, mostly about learning piano and synths. As a Linux dipshit you'd prefer a self-hosted box that speaks HTTP, SMTP, and ActivityPub (you used to admin ezmlm+majordomo). But you're dead inside and open to hosted/paid. No Substack, not that dead. Advice?

DRUMMOND: “.. Ultimately, this era in history is a WIRED story: The United States’ authoritarian turn, aided and abetted by the tech industry’s complicity. And that’s how we’re covering it.” @status.news @oliverdarcy.bsky.social @katie-drummond.bsky.social @wired.com www.status.news/p/wired-kati...

I cannot say how much I appreciate Paul Ford’s end user review of GPT-5. The point about workflows and documentation seem like basic labor problems. Who is investing in that and what market mechanisms are forcing them to happen (in an irrational market)? aboard.com/desperately-...?

Trying to imagine the Hakeem Jeffries scavenger hunt.

Do you think God reads these posts? Or is he mostly on Instagram?

Dude is EVERYWHERE.

They’re just good at it.

Bob Clark, VP of marketing for Herr Foods, Inc., said the company was surprised to see it was mentioned in the press. “While we can’t speak to the details of the story,” he said, “we can confirm that our Sour Cream & Onion flavor is money.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/21/w...

They fired all my friends who were experts at doing this so that they could hire corrupt vendors to do this poorly

Ok, NYC: if you don't have a tide app on your phone, it's time to download one. Ocean Watch is decent, and you can find the nearest station to your house on the map pretty easily. Our worst floods have happened when storm surge coincides with heavy rain. The time that happens is during high tide.

Due to large platforms not really interoperating I get notifications from the security system at work. And every morning at sunrise it decides that the sun coming up is a person entering the office. So every morning I get a notification and I think, “our valued colleague Sunshine is at the office!”

They wrote about us in the paper!

Barnes & Noble has The Bell Jar on a table labeled “Dark Academia.”

I gotta wonder if stuff is going to snap back in weird ways and they’re going to blame the nerds for all of it, and there will be a something like a national swirly.

Imagine Swedish death pod technology in 2050.

This year in their front garden the neighbors went primeval and it rules.

I’m thinking of proactively becoming one of those guys who sees a friend across a crowded street and yells, ”Every day above ground!”

They have a revolving restaurant in the Marriott in Times Square! I had no idea. It’s been remodeled and opened to non guests. This is an hour in 30 seconds.

NYC Summer Streets is a parade of delights, families biking safely, lemonade stands, music stops. Here’s hoping the @council.nyc.gov pays attention to the popularity of the program and begins backing measures that will curb cars, and begin transferring public space to buses, bikes, pedestrians...
