At some point in the last 10 years I feel like software developers collectively stopped putting stickers on their laptops. What gives? We should bring that back (yes I know you personally are still a sticker monster)

Today on Okazu – Revolutionary Girl Utena The Movie: The Adolescence of Utena in US Theaters June 21-22 A foundational movie for Yuri fans at the turn of the century, this is a must-see anime experience. All the links to where & when you can see it! okazu.yuricon.com/2026/05/29/r...

Sorry to hear about Jeff Bezos's rocket exploding prematurely. A good technique to prevent that from happening is to try thinking about something you find totally unarousing or even repulsive, like giving workers a living wage or paying a fair share of taxes.

Turns out when someone offers u a seat on a rocket ship, like ai, you do gotta ask questions Like did some fuckaass billionaire build it

If you weren’t getting live updates from the park slope food coop vote do you really have media friends

Finally the food coop can stop arguing about GLOBAL GEOPOLITICS and get back to the real issues, like how often and how vigorously pizza dough should be burped

Say what you will about lefty brooklinites, but the food coop general meeting got a shit ton more done in 3 hours than any county committee meeting I’ve ever attended

Some outstanding moments here "I'm going to rule that out of order because it's not about produce" "I'm just going to define germane" aka the coop meeting version of a subtweet "should we take more tech support questions? NO!! WE'RE MOVING ON!"

I gotta say, the journalistic coverage of the park slope food coop general meeting was better than any local political meeting I’ve been to. That’s probably not great for the health of our democracy huh

BREAKING: Discord and terror across New York City as the food coop removes 12 items from their shelves

FINALLY we get Attack the Gas Station 3, I’ve been waiting forever for a third installment in the franchise

current list of known elder gods: 1. grain (chained humankind to propagate its existence) 2. capital (contorted humankind in its image to leave earth) 3. oil (conscripted humankind in its eternal struggle against the sun) 4. pluto (altered human minds to promote the search of more elder gods)

me when I'm the scion of a Sengoku-period noble family and my tutors keep showing me family crests I'm supposed to recognize

Fucken A!

In light of today's google news, I just want to say @kagi.com has been fantastic for almost 3 years so far, and I hope it continues doing exactly what it does well.

For @aftermath.site I blogged about how I found so many Herman Miller chairs, the collapse of offices, and how the best gaming chair for you is the one some guy sells you on craigslist or FB Marketplace. aftermath.site/the-best-gam...

help I had the "you know, I should install arch linux" intrusive thought again

In college I was once threatened with legal action for torrenting a movie; it scared the shit out of me because I knew the stories about getting bankrupted by the MPAA. And now a bunch of billion-dollar companies have torrented at least one of my books and it's just part of their business.

It’s very simple: the 6 republican Supreme Court justices are functionally no different than klansmen

Got a similarly simple solution to the Transgender issue. Just let people transition and be fucking normal about it and mind yer own beeswax

Free idea: American Psycho business card scene but they're all doing Japanese aizuchi throughout. "へえっ！すげえじゃん！"

Like if your goal is to lower the temperature and reduce conflict on the platform, this kind of thin-skinned lowtaxing is just not going to do it

Holy shit what a massive consent violation from google here. 4 damn gigs of your disk space stolen for their "AI" model which you did not necessarily ask for to run on your device in the background. I mean jfc

Holy shit

With Rudy Giuliani nearing death after being struck in the head by a hijacked airplane, I am fondly recalling this

Despite technically having fewer textually/canonically queer characters, Outlaw Star is a much, much queerer show than Cowboy Bebop. I do not feel the need to elaborate.

Someone said these were the inverse of each other and I can’t stop thinking about it

With the reveal that post-Fox Tucker Carlson has 7.3k subscribers, reminder that *all* rightwing media is a miserable enormously unpopular and wildly unprofitable failure, only kept aloft via the largesse of a handful of billionaire pedophiles pumping them with endless amounts of cash.

zohran mamdani’s new york city should prioritize their nuclear program. they need nukes as a deterrent

So in case it's not clear, the supreme court just told you why you need to fight like hell to pack every state legislature, judicial bench, governorship, & congressional house & senate seat with people who Actually a) Give A Shit and b) plan to Do Something About their, SCOTUS', massive depredations

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

WAITER: would you care for dessert JEFF: i’ll have the jello GEOFF: i’ll have the geollo JEFF: jesus christ not this again GEOFF: geosus christ

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

No one’s made a graph yet so I’ve taken it upon myself to do so. Plus one filled out with all my favs. The star next to Signalis designates it as the perfect center of the triangle.

all of you are making your little jokes but I'll have you know this website has FIVE EIGHTS OF UPTIME!

reactionary politics is simply emotional luddism. people are afraid to know themselves. they want their comfortable lies. theyre right to be scared of what the future holds. but the answer is education, not attaching yourself to a rosy past that never existed.

Whether or not a production issue is specifically caused by LLM-generated code, vibe-coding is going to be the casual synecdoche for the end-stage result of the "move fast and break things" philosophy that has eroded technology for the past decade.

pluralistic.net/2026/04/16/p... exactly this

GenAI sucks, but I worry that we'll lose sight of *why*- it's specifically because it's an accelerant acting on every pre-existing societal vulnerability. And ngl some of the framing as AI as "the single bad thing!" I've seen really elides that in concerning ways!

Holy shit, good news for once

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

"Plus a Hollywood film is incapable of capturing the density & gravity of the themes while still remaining Stupid." This is why I love games. I cried at the end of Final Fantasy X, a game where Underwater Pelé dismantles a death cult mega church and saves the world from his dad, a space whale

The self and the cyberself in quiet introspection
