You could definitely give these people a Trojan Horse and they’d be like “wow a big horse thank you” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/u...

Need to be super clear to folks that there is a growing class of “progressive” political consultants with elite backgrounds that are cashing in on antiestablishment sentiment amongst voters, and their payday isn’t at all about your concerns. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This demeans all of us who have labored in the Mad Scientist profession.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Wait, this is supposed to be The Odyssey! Lol, they know history actually exists, right? …right?

Can't believe people are trying to float Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy as a potential Maine Senate candidate when the perfect celebrity candidate for the job is obvious: Ms. Rachel is a native Mainer, born in Biddeford and raised in Sanford.

"Ronaldo Salgado, the eldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, said he recognized his dad's voice as he bled out after being shot by an immigration officer in Houston."

Oh dang all this time I thought you guys were posting pictures of the Mythic Kitchen guy.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

the more accurate read of Slaughter imo is that the Republican justices on the Court stole a bunch of power *for themselves* and deigned to share some of that power with Trump ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/supre...

Beneath Apple Manor (1978) by Don Worth is one of the first RPGs for the Apple II and one of the first roguelikes, though it predated Rogue by two years. It's also one of the first games to use procedural generation. You could even choose between B&W text or color! (an infinite dungeon thread)

S22 and S31, you pass. I need to see the rest of you after class.

You will NEVER be the same! You will understand the plight of the ant. Your compassion for wasps will grow until you’re moved to tears when you witness destruction of their nests. You will pursue a PhD in beetle studies, and assist with the formation of arthropoda delineated preservation zones.

well that was quick

Every one of these looks like a Choose Your Own Adventure cover.

when your abusive ex thinks he has some say in who will be your next bf

“Terrible posters are nothing new,” Jonathon Yule, executive creative director for design at Concrete Design tells us. But with these posters, it comes with “none of the charm” that may accidentally come from a business owner making something low quality.

what if news outlets were honest with their readers that this is a narcissistic sociopathic geriatric charlatan operating at a third grade reading level who has absolutely no idea how literally anything works

A developer made a browser extension called "Knockoff" that shows what a wasteland Amazon truly is by filtering out brands like "GODONLIF" "EHEYCIGA," ROTTOGOON," and sponsored products. Useful and illustrative even if you don't use Amazon www.404media.co/knockoff-bro...

Was wondering what percentage of it was actually legit and ya this tracks: 98% fraud "An investigation by the Iowa attorney general’s office found that 98% of transactions through Bitcoin Depot’s kiosks in the state were scams"

Legend.

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

All open source carries risk, but this is a new, stupider problem because the software can immediately start as abandoned technical debt

I want to know if an interesting, potentially useful package/library is slop coded because I can't risk including it in a project only to discover later that the "creator" can't maintain it and doesn't know how it works, and it requires rewriting before it can even be forked. It's risk.

This is a strange story (but features our Paddy! @gasbuddyguy.bsky.social ):

Facebook’s own researchers found that “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools”, an internal report in 2016 found. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I literally cannot uncheck this box on PowerPoint for Mac, so the next time you hear about Copilot adoption metrics, know these shenanigans are ongoing...

They all got behind someone with Nazi tats. I think there's a culpability spectrum, I put the early supporters more at fault than the later ones, but all of them did the dirt. Who cares the reason. I'm telling you I wouldn't vote for Warren at all, straight up, in a primary ever after this

This is very funny but also, Microsoft has turned into an interlocking series of utterly incompatible, duplicative, and non-functioning apps kludged together without usability as they've random walked down the road of growth. One of the reasons Copilot is a joke is because there's NO base MS system.

amazing

there's another, much shorter word for that

Whenever something like this happens, lot of people (particularly men) reveal they have a private threshold of tolerance for harm done to women. For some, that threshold is met by a certain (arbitrary) number of victims or incidents. For others, it's the type of violence or victim.

Russia's largest oil refinery was hit by Ukraine about an hour ago and now it's totally offline. I'm willing to bet an only-4% drop in popularity will feel like a ticker tape parade next week.

I really respect how much Nick has been sharing about the process of loss. If you are or have close family who are organ donors do take a moment to read this thread. It tracks exactly with my experience when my son (an infant organ donor) died and it is brutal if you're not expecting it:

to sum up

Trying to figure out if there was ever a sign that things were about to get fucky

Elizabeth’s internal monologue is so mean about Mr Collins I almost feel bad for him. “He’s got a cute garden! Wow, a normal hobby. Charlotte’s face is doing such a good job not grimacing whenever he talks. That’s so impressive. Also it’s so nice when he leaves. She must ignore him a lot.” GIRL.

It’s not too late to make this the summer of the dinner theater murder mystery you’ve always dreamed of.

PHOTOS: Deep Tunnel has never reached its limit. After weekend's heavy rains, it’s almost full. Here's what that means.

if you what

The team is getting covered in algae. Over the next sereral hours a veiled scaffold will be built around them.

Cursed.

Belgium is uniquely problematic as a colonial war criminal state but I did spend the worst Christmas of my life at King Leopold’s summer residence in Ostend, on the North Sea, staring out at the water as it poured sleety rain and thought I was going to die. So that’s another reason it sucks.

There’s never been anyone whose involvement more completely and immediately poisons vibes and destroys joy. No good thing survives contact.

Bad day for blood drinkers, rapists, and racist old sentient wattles. 🎉
