Just bought this! It’s going to be so much fun AND it’s a good way to participate in Romance the Vote if you don’t have a US mailing address for the physical item auctions.

Who is surprised? If we don't use it we are being told we will be left behind (good please leave me with my books thank you) If we do use it, we're not smart! It's the same thing over and over and over. Wow.

Toronto icon Sneaky Dee's has been spared death by condo development due to amazing community organizers and, uh, a bank pointing out that the developer only owns 2/5 lots they claimed in their project submission documents? Wild!

Great moments in U.S. History.

if you have some goofy vision of a thing that you've never seen before, which nobody online seems to have exactly made before, and whose techniques and materials you aren't even quite sure about, just dive in and start making it... the journey will be as cool as the final product

Statement from VGHF director Frank Cifaldi on the discontinuation of physical PlayStation media, and the closure of the PS3 and PSP digital storefronts.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

This is absolutely devastating for retaining access to games over time. I’m also so tired of companies claiming people don’t want to actually own tangible things anymore.

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

We're only at 97 submissions, we'd really love to get several hundred to get a better sense of where the industry is! Please share this far and wide and submit your pay info if you can 💪

This is such a great book.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

A "podcast" that is taped and released as video and features famous people is just a talk show that doesn't have to abide by union rules.

I have stolen the paint that was in the scumpond and which you were probably eying with disgust Forgive me It’s so hilarious so green and so gross

Very few Americans have taken any note of the central role of Elon Musk and his social media operations in stoking violence in England last summer and again last week in Belfast. But Toby Buckle and Greg Sargent do a good job here. Keep in focus that Tommy Robinson was sitting in a Moscow luxury

multiculturalism is pretty great

One of the things I think is interesting about Mamdani is just the optics of a mayor who so thoroughly appears to be of and in the city at all times, you know? Like, what New York is doing, he is doing. It’s really different.

Over on Whatever, I talk about the legit business email I got that was written with "AI," why I thought it meant the sender's domain was hacked by scammers, and why using "AI" in business emails automatically lumps you in with scammers and frauds. Don't do it! whatever.scalzi.com/2026/06/11/p...

Remember: Ms Maus is a Unitarian Universalist. And she did not use the encyclical as support for her case. A deeply held conviction is available to everyone, INCLUDING NON-THEISTS. Look at her reasoning, it’s universally applicable.

This is one of those ideas that sounds great but is actually terrible because it doesn't actually TEACH kids anything (about how to cope online), and the only way to enforce it is to make EVERYONE upload their government ID to extremely vulnerable websites that get hacked ALL THE TIME.

In Mississippi, lawyers on both sides of a court case were caught using AI, essentially two LLMs arguing against each other. The judge dismissed all lawyers from the case and canceled the trial: www.404media.co/judge-learns...

oh hey, there's a survey...

the single biggest takeaway i have from this interview is that on top of being profoundly incompetent, bari weiss and her flunkies at CBS are genuinely terrible human beings. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

Those agendas and biases can be anything! Case in point: you think the fruit in the garden of eden was an apple because a guy translating the story into Latin wanted to make a pun.

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE

But you said AI was never sick :(

Well this is got damn adorable

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

As shopping has shifted from physical stores to online retail, the number of options has exploded, which has paradoxically made it harder to build a wardrobe. I also talk about how four companies are trying to keep customers engaged. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

the pope: hey just checking in on the AI encyclical designs- the pope's digital comms intern (looking up from Figma, the ancient spirit of Michalangelo speaking through him): WHEN I AM FINISHED!!!

The currently-running anime series Agents of the Four Seasons is absolutely outstanding. It also makes me full blown sob nearly every episode.

Everyone should go through the experience of ordering a bespoke thing at least once. It doesn't have to be a big thing. But it will open your eyes to how many small choices quietly get made for us by mass-produced products every day, and what alternatives are possible.
