I enjoy being annoyed so I looked up the books. It's obviously and maybe intentionally fake, but I think it's maybe the only reading list that includes Richard Bach and Bertrand Russell. That said, I wish she read Will Durant for real.

It’s going to be hilarious when Zaslav lists independence of news assets as a reason why he ultimately accepts the $NFLX offer.

I've had the theme song to The Mary Tyler Moore Show (also featured in the movie Christine) stuck in my head for 3 days and I'm not even really all that pressed about it. Those horns lowkey whip. I might need to make a big beat remix of it.

If you made businesses criminally liable for negligent disclosure of PII you would have a lot fewer businesses needlessly storing it. Parking lots aren't doing this to provide exceptional parking experiences, they're doing it to sell data to brokers.

Oh hell yeah

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

I have no way of explaining why, but Quentin Tarantino and Billy Corgan basically share 1 spot in my memory. In my mind they're pretty much the same guy.

I love Brad with my whole chest and there is no doubt he should be the next Congressman for NY10. More importantly you cannot convince me that's not Fred Armisen 25 seconds into the spot.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Is casually dropping Tarkovsky in conversation a red flag? Because it’s a flag, and ain’t a green one. I need a vexillologist but for Guys.

Gonna need a biopic starring Jesse Plemons on my desk by the end of Q3 2027. Thanks.

a lovely obituary but this in particular really got me

I wish I could do more than sound like a Cassandra, but this is coming/already here and there's not really anything you can do about it. And this is just the consumer version.

Everything that's not Signal should have the same note attached.

I wish 27 year-old Jake knew about Trader Joe's chai concentrate & Diet Dr. Pepper.

The Beast In Me is my favorite modern noir anything in a long time.

Not the point, but did my guy roast that turkey in an Eazy-Bake oven? Gas station hot dog-roller-ass turkey looking like hand-me-down luggage. No chance that dry-ass bird gives him salmonella so I hope he chokes on bone fragments.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

It should cost $1 to send me an email unless I have previously emailed you. Ditto voice mail. It's entirely too easy and free for the hoi palloi to contact me.

There's lot of lamenting about an indie-sleaze revival, but the distance between now and 2006 is the same as between the release of Grease and its setting in 1959. You're old, so what. At least your youth is a cultural curiosity and not forgotten.

I'm listening to a podcast where a host compares Zeus to Harvey Weinstein. Which, fair I suppose, given that the context is the intemperate raping. But still, I feel that's bit generous to Harvey.

This is a worse case scenario for a security product meant as an isolation boundary.

I love this so much: universal LLM guardrail evasion via bad poetry arxiv.org/abs/2511.15304

Sex and the City characters are tiresome. What I want to know is Which Bewitched Witch Would You Be? (I'm a Serena, obvs)

Ahh, bollocks. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Quote post with a song you can't hear without thinking of a movie it was in. Let's play two www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFWY...

(You should all 👀 when established US hacking cons start losing venues over current politics,)

I am the biggest, most shameless NYC stan on the planet, but no, New York City has not magically solved systemic racism. White supremacy is so ingrained into every aspect of America that it is invisible to 99.99% of its beneficiaries. And that is a major factor in its endurance.

The NIsqully Tribe has the opportunity to do the funniest thing in the world by signing this agreement, only to then renege and grant tribal membership all detainees, thereby aiding and abetting a foreigners' occupation of the white man's land. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Weird confession: I (rightly) thought that all of Brooklyn electroclash people in 2003 were huge fucking dorks, but goddamn if that music doesn't still slap.

It looks like a chapter from a canceled Glamorama sequel

Odysseus after a god rescues him from the latest trap delaying his return home.

There was a member of the Donner Party who was a little too eager to start eating people and I can't remember his name. It's driving me crazy. Like they'd be foraging for pine cones and dead bugs and he'd go "All I'm saying is that Bob is right there. We could just..." and flash an eyebrow.

The best part of Mamdani's campaign was becoming synonymous with happiness. Obvs it helps he has a grin the Cheshire Cat would envy, but it's also the opposite of Republicans. Republicans spend their time telling people they should be angry. Zohran makes people feel like he wants them to be happy.

The Plantain Supervova 💯 deserves a spot in the new administration Mayor

The Signal subpoena canary is the "Click here to update Signal" message on its desktop client. If a six hours go by and you don't see that message it means Signal got served. (this skeet is for an audience of like 7)

During the extremely brief period in my life when I lived in Louisville I randomly lived down the street from these women, who are also the Doublemint Twins. Every year they hosted the most exclusive Kentucky Derby party of the season.

Whomever brokered the Louvre heist on behalf of the sponsors had better be extremely well-connected or have cyanide capsules ready. Any thieves caught this fast are gonna roll by Friday.

Americans really dislike Donald Trump. Broadly and deeply. But the whiter, less educated, older, and maler you are the more you like him. Since the @nytimes.com and Fox News think those are the Real Americans media representation heavily distorts reality. Assholes. www.economist.com/interactive/...

Google once tried to replace Wikipedia with a similar effort and failed early and spectacularly. Google! Wikipedia could have only happened at the moment it happened. And we're so fortunate that it did.

My children have been attending school for 13 years and I still feel like I'm personally scheming to skip school every time I send an email to their attendance office for an absence.

The man is legit stuck in 1982. It's freaking wild.

God I love beating the Celtics

This explains a lot

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

One more PSL post because I can't resist: Apparently Tori Amos was a pumpkin spice latte innovator in 1994! And specifically contrasted it to the drinks at Starbucks.

This is a way more entertaining demo than what I came up with for a vuln I discussed in Phrack 56: phrack.org/issues/56/14...
