"Our ability to tell fact from fiction — even when the facts are right in front of you — is nearly gone."

NPR’s Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks! www.reddit.com/r/confession...

You think it would be good to be the writer of melodious verses,

actually I think this is a four quadrant thing if you add group chats for know/like and League of Legends for don’t know/don’t like

low stakes posting today reminds me that 1) Facebook is for talking to people you know IRL but don’t like and 2) microblogging sites are for talking to people you don’t know but do like. we forget these things at our peril

My interpretation of this is that she thinks torture at CECOT is old news and she wants to “advance the ball” by telling the administration’s version of the story. Of course, that’s also old news by the same standard. That’s been reported to death.

Roasters/shops switch from Brazil to Costa Rica (and Mexico, Colombia) to beat the tariffs- I wish more would! Costa Rican and Guatemalan coffee is generally better! (usually shade grown so better for birds and volcanic so better tasting).

We are still recruiting game makers who had games posted to Steam or itch.io in July 2025 for a survey on the impacts of NSFW policy changes. More info on the project website. You can also always email me (via the website or through the email on the USask website) for info or with questions.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

... last things: I saw LADY SNOWBLOOD and FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION as meaningful, even progressive, because of KILL BILL. I reassessed all of Pam Grier's work because of JACKIE BROWN. I was able to mourn my friend's suicide through OUATIH. &... he happens to be a freshman film bro in conversation.

I have long thought Tarantino to be our best film critic - but the medium for his critique is film, not print. I was not as taken by Cinema Speculation as I thought I would be - in writing, which has the cadence of his vocal patterns, he's too in love with the shock take. Remember his TOP GUN riffs?

Okay, this is a fascinating case of social media priming. So, this creator, Sarah Velush, basically has a channel devoted to deadpan lifestyle humour (a la Chef Tova). But because a progressive account takes it literally and says... this? Hundreds of comments assuming she's an evil tradwife.

Here’s a fan vid of the whole performance! youtu.be/COZcKrUx1Ts?...

I’m so excited to sit on this panel and talk about games & politics! Join us (remotely) a week from tomorrow!

My electric company is local, town-owned and run. My bills are cheap and when the power goes out for me, it goes out for its managers as well (so they fix it, quick)! They used to be my ISP as well - I miss that.

It's not so much that everything I learn about Olivia Nuzzi is against my will I am unfortunately interested in the story it's more like every fact I learn feels like huffing paint

“Against Cop Shit“ is my “Tom Holland Lio Syncing ‘Umbrella’.” I see it, I repost it. Expel cop shit from your hearts.

The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.

Toad went back into the house. He got into bed and pulled the covers over his head again.

I like this one, where he makes a Falcon from a Falcon: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-232...

This seems to be reddit user "Minute_Food_2881", possibly on other platforms too. You can see more builds there including an Enterprise made from a gingerbread AT-AT set: www.reddit.com/user/Minute_... Also apparently "make the Falcon" is a running joke with lots of #Lego fans, not just him!

This is what Peak Male Performance looks like.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

New @draknek.bsky.social game looks pretty cool.

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Like, the very first rule of doing anything at all creative is *you have to give a fuck about it* Using genAI is proof you don't.

It is absolutely high time somebody told the rest of us that the reason we're not still in early modern Europe is this quiet field of public health.

i spoke to LOADS of people about this very recently, and the only people using it regularly were the dipshits in charge
