It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

The vibe I get from this is ISN after President Clark is deposed on Babylon 5. I don't think I've EVER seen state media APOLOGIZE before for being made to lie and aid in corruption. And I love to see it. May other countries see the same future.

BY UNICRON'S BEARD!!! This figure is everything I could have ever wanted in a BW2nd Galvatron figure. I cannot wait to get this one.

The rain held up long enough for us to go outside and set off some fireworks tonight. The kiddo really enjoyed the fireworks, but he said he would’ve liked the giant box from Costco instead of the one we got from target. Maybe next year. 😂

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Transformers x Scooby Doo Collab Mysterious Prime & Automutt First Look is just so silly. I love it. Comes with 4 different heads. One for each human of Mystery, Inc.

Gang am I doing the shoulder gun thing right? I think I am.

BW2nd Galvatron ha been revealed. It’s beautiful.

Cat and mouse riders....fighting over eggs. 🤣

It's so wet here that only the folks with the illegal fireworks are able to light them off.

He’s such a Chicago Pope that he’s even channeling Michael Mann cinema energy

Just showed up.

Apologies for the radio silence the past few weeks. My 9-to-5 has picked up in a way that I didn't see coming and it's been a lot of 10+ hour days. So more like 9-to-7. I'm hoping to be able to get some reviews done over this long weekend. I'm sure not going outside in the 100+ degree weather.

The same way that just a dozen people are behind over half of all the book bans, this entire goddamn nazi movement is a fucking handful of freaks who are loud enough in billionaire nazi sex pest social media empires to be confused with an entire crowd. This *is* their irl numbers and popularity.

Remember, this isn't about getting rid of "ownership" specifically. It's about snuffing out a free market. Physical games have always been about choosing where you make purchases. Competition between retailers. Now, funnel your cash into PlayStation directly, to play games how they say you can.

Godot’s new AI policy is here. the TL;DR: all code must human authored.

Repainted from a Star Convoy with an additional 3D printed part to emulate some turbo cannons, Hyperdrive might be the most intense custom I have ever made. Thanks to @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social Hyperdrive will be part of the Toy-Fu Silent auction at @tfnationltd.bsky.social

Books are bottled empathy. They’re telepathy in physical form. Fiction makes us better people because it gives us a safe place to experience and learn to care through the most complex pain. Remember: fascists have designated empathy a sin & moral failing. They don’t want you caring for anyone.

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

Pet peeve - calling a vendor and getting a service rep but only barely able to hear them (even with the volume at max). Then when I'm put on hold, the music louder than a rock concert.

Fix your sparks.

won’t somebody think of the childrennnn

Ulysses. Ulysses. Soaring through all the galaxies. In search of Earth & very probably flying into the night. Despite the show being a hit the gorgeous but expensive line died a death in the UK (Bandai offered it via this retailer catalogue but few shops bit) but sold very well in continental Europe

RIP to a legend ▫️Survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki ▫️Pioneered drag culture in Japan and was one of the first openly gay celebrities there ▫️Had a relationship with Yukio Mishima and became his muse ▫️Delighted Hayao Miyazaki in the recording booth for Princess Mononoke #voiceacting

The rich taking water to use in datacenters (instead of growing food) being equivalent to the rich taking India's farmland to grow tea (instead of food) is fucking me up.

This is why I refuse to follow ToonHive or any other DiscussingFilm/Culture Crave cartoon rip-off. At best, they’re a TMZ clone. At worst, they spread misinformation to get attention. They’re clout-chasing leeches made for those who are desperate to have everything spoon-fed to them.

Remember folks, if buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft.

Apple, in what world is it ok to make the file transfer progress bar on the ipad completely illegible in dark mode? It’s a little things like this that drive me up the wall when using your products. it’s inexcusable in 2026.

i know im preaching to the choir but please please DO NOT. USE AI APPS. TO ID EDIBLE MUSHROOMS OR PLANTS. DO NOT TRUST THE RESULTS. TO EAT. STUFF. oh they are wrong so OFTEN please no no no.

Open your eyes....

"Transformers Rise of the Beasts : Predacon Megatron" That Scourge character dared trying to command the Predacons? Such a foolish endeavor, yeeeeeees. (Reposts appreciated as always! :D)

Mike Johnson says specifically that his job is to prevent lawmakers from being held accountable for their actions.

“my passion is graphic design”

😱

Someone on Reddit used this prompt to get "AI" to reveal its copyrighted training data, and I decided to test it myself and what do you know, anyway, "AI" is trained on theft, don't use it

Holy hell. Om Malik died. om.co/2026/06/24/1...

Cool Tobot set is cool!

Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments

The cheapest Xbox Series X console will retail for $750 from August 1st. That's insane. Sony and MS are going to see their sales crater to next to nothing soon. What then? Milk you fans for even more $. Gaming is pretty unafordable as it stands right now!

How is it that so many YouTubers don't realize that their cameras are focused on their microphones and not them? An example (see attached pic) The mic? In perfect focus. The person? Out of focus. I see this all the time. I guess they aren't using manual focus???
