43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

I say this as someone who was NOT a popular jock in high school: Allowing losers who struggle to socialize into positions of influence because they could use a computer was a mistake. A generation of guys angry they couldn't do a pull up & got turned down for dates is taking it out on the country

i appreciate everyone who took the time to explain why that bad tweet from homeland security doesn't even get the halo lore right. those of us who weren't on the losing side of the console wars are grateful for the info

I love this excerpt from jim downey on the scourge of "breaking" on SNL

New from me: Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong. This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

i am so ready for quantum to be the next dumb buzzword the tech industry forces everyone to pretend to care about. "how are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?" i'm not but it's so refreshing you asked me a new and different stupid question

Unfortunately I don’t believe in using the word “zoomies,” but yes. Your dog is popping off.

"Cities should remain museum pieces for incumbents and any newcomer is strictly a burden" is the most loser mindset that powers the most loser politics in America today.

the guy who did the original half a press super mario 64 youtube videos just put out an insane video about getting a star by pressing one button and only one button youtu.be/-7VhlsqeeqI?...

this guy sold me $15 worth of a nug that looked like rock candy

Please kill me

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

it’s so nice bernie can say something stupid and people who supported him in the past saying “hey this shit sucks, fuck off” aren’t outliers

He also rightly pointed out that when the KY legislature passed the ban there was only one trans athlete in the whole state--a seventh grader kicked off the field hockey team she started www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

these information pathologies are taking advantage of network structures that have been painstakingly developed and pruned (by platforms, advertisers, etc.) for very particular kinds of weak, transactional, low-trust/high-transmission social ties

A jury of my peers? TWELVE murderers?!

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

the key to game design is to imagine the target audience for your game and then imagine how you would make them the most upset

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on doublepulsar.com/microsoft-bu...

they've got fishwife at my publix now. it's so over (for my wallet)

I’m not going to tell you what to do what not to do but if you’re an LGBTQ person and you follow Roisin Murphy anywhere you should reconsider that because what the fuck is this

I think Dell should get rid of the feature that gives their laptops a 1% chance to stop recognizing external monitors every time you plug into them. That's a bad feature and I do not know what value it ever provided.

I think this is correct but will take it further and say the more hours you get out of a video game, the more expensive it should be regardless of budget. Slay the Spire should cost fifteen thousand dollars

world's greatest ally: women can be stupid too ✊

NYC Mayoral Debate MAMDANI: I want to make NYC a better place to live CUOMO: I want Mandala over here to admit he can't do anything, because I can't do anything SLIWA: I would drink a $27 Moscow mule from Andrew Cuomo's skull

I'll cautiously say I've noticed more skepticism about AI in the corporate world and it's mostly because people's coworkers are creating extra work for them. They don't have the vocabulary to describe it yet but it's basically the "Why should I read what you couldn't be bothered to write" thing

Include the link! The fact that bluesky doesn't aggressively suppress links is one of its best features, right up there with the nuclear block. It's great for publishers and also the only way we will ever make progress on the "didn't read past the headline" problem of social media

the powers that be want you to know less about your computer. they are taking away your beautiful file pathing, keyboard inputs, considered mouse clicks, and expertise of your OS. everything will soon be done by mumbling into the open air and praying it works correctly. this is a nightmare.

when you get your two friend groups together and they all get along

Róisín Murphy is posting about trans people again nialler9.com/roisin-murph...

easily one of the worst parts of the actual user experience of these things is being spoken to by something that sounds like an NPC in a game for 12 year olds

i think he should join the girls team because it would be funny

the American century of humiliation is in full swing

Jon Hamm doing ads for sports gambling apps, Idris Elba shilling AI nonsense — all my beautiful idols are dead and my enemies are in power

corruption is such a helpful lens for understanding so much of what is broken right now. all of these people actually need accountability. allowing them to act with impunity just lets them make all manner of bad decisions. we need to help them rediscover boundaries

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

our "smart" coffee machine at work is broken today. I made a joke about it being related to the AWS outage but then we looked in the back and it's plugged into ethernet

we need to implement camel crush technology into other devices. pens. the remote. toilet paper, perhaps

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

Once when canvassing I asked a voter his #1 concern and it was "yard sales are not enforcing sales tax"

"everyone is mad at me and that's good" is one of the most poisonous inventions of the social media era
