it sucks that RCV (bad, often worse than the status quo) is seemingly the only other voting system that people are aware of

If anyone can figure out how to do highly customized but mass produced fursuits in the same way Toyota figured out highly customized but mass produced cars in the 70’s, there’s a lot of money to be made there

a new bread would be pretty exciting

It's funny how the ideological split between Twitter and Bluesky has done nothing to stop the power users of both sites from being convinced that leadership is personally conspiring against them in particular.

feelin’ foxy! 🍄🌱 #kidlit #kidlitart #fox

It sucks that Fil-C got culture war'd because, ideally, all C(++) that could reasonably be compiled with it (also considering performance requirements) would be. But I'm not sure if the prospects for that are very good right now. It being "just" one guy also sucks. Would be very cool if Apple

i am also completely locked out of twitter

Y’all, don’t be fucking dicks to staffers, it is neither nice nor particularly productive

My guess: the elections just ended and some senators felt the risks outweighed the rewards of continuing. Wonder if we'll ever know, though.

Not a lot of people realize this, but Valve blackmails every developer on Steam. Want to learn more? Read my blog. foxchapelresearch.substack.com/p/does-steam...

First (still very bad) results

Got an interesting blogpost coming up this weekend and another interesting blog post coming up shortly after that. But once these two are done, I have no idea what I'm going to be writing about next. Maybe I should space these things out to once every 2 weeks?

another really bad dishwasher and dishwasher detergent video :(

this and some salt 🔥🔥🔥

I wrote (but didn't proofread at all) open.substack.com/pub/foxchape... a post about why the semiconductor firm that's been all over the news is, actually, a fraud. Lots of stuff the media didn't spot: - The founder is a Kickstarter scammer - He is apparently also solving nuclear fusion - Nepotism

Every year, we get closer and closer to a true “Egg Computer”.

 We’ve already made:
 - Egg Transistors
 - Egg Resistive Memories 
- Egg Supercapacitor electrodes
 - AND + NOT Logic Gates

 Albumin is a hilariously good organic semiconductor material.

Easily the funniest thing he's ever said imo

bro give it up 😭😭😭😭😭

there was some irony around the latest housing fights in Pittsburgh where the left-NIMBYs paid for instagram ads but accused the yimbys of taking developer $$$. Literally, all we have is a few hundred bucks a year from YIMBYAction for stickers and such. We even pay for our own pizza.

I'm very curious how many casual Trump fans are at all familiar with his posting. I fully think if the media stopped sane-washing him and just aired his words directly often, there'd be a big opinion shift.

idk how anyone can look at trump's truth social posts and not think he's totally senile

The quote posts and replies to this thread are pretty funny now

it's unfair that the new york GOP gets both curtis sliwa and george santos. where are our funny people? is max rose the best we can do?

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works (15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

it hurts

if i were the government i would simply not close

Someone please tell me why my toilet keeps making noise. My landlord keeps saying nothing is wrong with my toilet and it's not making any sound and I'm going to lose it if this continues for any more days

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

how did we get here?

Journalists love entertaining and sensationalizing laws like "The Unpassable Journalistbait Bill Written Solely for Publicity Act of 2025"

There it is

It’s cool how the consensus in the US is only W-2 workers who rent should pay taxes

I think a threshold question for high-level politics is "can you give a cogent answer to a skeptical question from an interviewer on a wide range of issues?" Mamdani passes the test, as do Vance & Newsom & Pete — but most contemporary Dems don't. www.slowboring.com/p/the-biden-...

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

he called up the Georgia secretary of state to ask for extra votes. the call is on YouTube. my expectations are in hell

The new $100k/year H1B fee is pure economic self-harm—workers making **5 times the median US income**, who contribute massively to the US, would still basically be unable to afford this fee Oh, but never fear, the White House reserves the right to dish out exemptions as favors!

extremely disturbing

Diseased. This is why we can’t allow a little instrumental lying, as a treat. We’ll never fix it now

Qanon level thinking all over this site. Total break with reality. This is not good for us. This does not help us

i am somewhat surprised to see "national hot cross bun day" gifs at #1 over 9/11. and i am surprised people are using gifs of either thing.
