WTF GOOGLE!?!?

I love this. They need to tape Pam Bondi's mouth shut and make her do it. "Press the Yes or No button within 10 seconds or you will receive a painful electric shock."

The Center Seat trek documentary series is really good! Weirdly, it is on Peacock, not Paramount.

Here's a pretty thing. (It's 21 minutes long and good to the very last drop.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFul...

The constant condescension about ai is another aspect of it that makes me hate it more. The assumption is you can only be against it because you don't understand it like I do. No man. I don't like voluntarily making every human enterprise dependent on a tech run by a tiny group of financial maniacs

Listen folks, Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 so she's been covering up Epstein's crimes for a loooooong-ass time

Here’s a pretty thing!

Yes. If "nationalizing the elections" happens in time to affect the midterms, it has to start right now.

President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here's a reference to the birthday book. Seems real! www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

New Epstein files just dropped; data set 9 has no archive and no index. Some pages, like this one: www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-... ... show the results for page 0. This seems like a fine way to get people to give up looking, so I'm still looking. #EpsteinFiles

People should see at least two or three OTHER movies this weekend. Send Help, Iron Lung, Shelter, Worldbreaker, Islands, and Moses the Black are all fine choices, and would benefit hugely from an opening-weekend bump. Think of it as an anti-boycott! #antiboycott

Why in the world would they pay to advertise the Melania movie on MSNOW?

Aloha, friends. It's Holocaust Remembrance Day and we're scraping Nazi filth off local treasures. Eight trees, one rock, one fence, and the Aloha bench, all along the trail to the top of the Sleeping Giant on Kaua'i. *

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

It’s gotta happen. I know it sucks but it just has to happen.

This is why it’s so important to get your friends and loved ones off X. They are influenced by Musk’s framing of events whether they know it or not.

I still can't understand why these guys don't get shoes thrown at them 24/7.

"Tonight on The Good Place, Chidi and Eleanor must make a five-night reservation at Disney Tokyo, using only a Web browser and Chidi's scant knowledge of Japanese. Hilarity ensues when Eleanor accidentally hits the Back button while choosing a restaurant for Day Four, losing all their progress...."

tip for parent management: my parents were asking me about chatGPT, and have some friends who love it, and none of my attempts to caution them were as successful as just sending them the Wikipedia page for AI hallucinations

*Hundreds* of people lost their jobs because they posted Charlie Kirk quotes after his death.

Bless you, anonymous people at Bose who made this happen. "In a surprisingly user-friendly move, Bose has announced it will be open-sourcing the API documentation for its SoundTouch smart speakers, which were slated to lose official support on 2/18" www.theverge.com/news/858501/...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

It's deeply weird when Copilot suggests a snippet of code you wrote sixteen years ago. (Yep, this still works.) gist.github.com/kentbrew/763...

Uuuuugh, did I just hear a Chemical Brothers track on an E*Trade ad? 😵‍💫🤢🤮

Europe is coming for US payment processors and I could not be happier to hear it. <frozone voice>"Honey, where's my I GET PAID IN EUROS t-shirt?"</zone> www.independent.ie/business/dig...

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

My dad was an art photographer of the Ansel Adams kind so I was delighted to learn just now that it's possible to put your iPhone into grayscale mode. sami.eljabali.org/go-gray-not-... The author seems to believe that color pixels use more battery; is this actually true?

Poking gently at this morning's Epstein drop; archive 5 contains some photos of the stuff listed in the US v. Maxwell evidence list (PDF under Memoranda and Correspondence) including a very creepy stuffed dog and female torso bust. Plus INSANE quantities of hard drives, of course. #epstein

So one thing that's fun about these Epstein files is how easily the "redaction" is defeated by simply dragging your mouse over the text and then using copy+paste (small 🧵)

"And you know what’s not on this list? Baccarat crystal, Versace, Hermès, Tiffany, or Steinway. What we have instead: classified telecommunications networks, data center cooling systems, electromagnetically shielded rooms, and 100-megawatt generators. Classic ballroom essentials."

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

Biden was the kind of old where you take away the car keys. Trump is the kind of old where you don't let him near the grandchildren

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test" when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter it's diagnostic

CSS text-decoration-inset landed in Firefox 146! Here's how it works:

This works nicely as a Home Screen shortcut.

The same wildly talented genius who built the first QR code generator in Minecraft has a new discovery: CSS filters may be used to create "a multi-step clickjacking attack with lots of conditions and interactivity. And you can run logic on data from cross-origin frames."

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water. Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state. It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

ICE raid out our way scooped up a bunch of people working for a guy who was stealing their wages for years. I'm wondering now if he made the call himself rather than paying what he owed.... www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2025/11/07/i... More background here: www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...
