This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

web developers are getting too cocky. if visiting your `.png` URI doesn't give me the raw bytes of a png image and nothing else, your balls should explode if you don't have balls, you grow balls that immediately explode

Really beginning to think I should’ve waited for prices to drop before buying 1,200 copies of “American Canto”.

[12hrs into my ice interrogation] agent: in 2021 you posted “they should call him matt hardcock am i right fellas” can you explain that? me: do you know who matt hancock is? a:… [43mins later] a: he had his own app? for parkour? me: no the parkour was a separate issue

So, Apple has locked out my account... for no reason. Support cannot help. Anyone got an escalation path?

“Let them be kids” [Except if they’re queer, disabled, rural or from a CALD community relying on social media to connect and communicate with peers and remote support and family]

Tell me about it “Households need to earn an annual income of at least $112,667 to rent a median-price capital-city home without entering rental stress. It represents a 51 per cent increase since 2019, according to new analysis from Domain” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

Yup, unless I give over my details I can’t DM or use custom content moderation tools. This actively makes the site less safe for me. 🙃

i've imagined waterboarding plenty of people for their bluesky posts

imagine getting waterboarded for a bluesky post.

What the social media ban assumes about our society is that the places where adults congregate to share ideas are never safe for children. And it’s wrong

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs. There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

Setting up a school to teach all of these vibecoders how to braincode.

Acceptable. I would like all my technology to be far better than acceptable.

I can sense electric and magnetic fields. Oh, and I can telepathically piss off shitty people halfway around the world.

Hey all, The Onion is accepting applicants for our writing, video and graphics fellowships. Fellowships last six months, pay well, and provide full benefits. You can apply at theonion.com/fellowship.

i highly recommend bob's channel and videos. there's two videos that i think are a great starting point. the first is the desperate housewives video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCfs...

I really think not enough people understand how routinely disabled people have to state, communicate, and negotiate their disabilities to physicians, families, friends, schools, courts, the state, the police and more. It never ends.

This Humble Bundle has a lot of really good hacking books from No Starch Press, and it supports EFF! Get it!

Hey uh, what the fuck?

#Destiny2 Bungie better release the album for this new expansion!

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Repeatedly asking the supermarket staff for a 'chocolate battle pass' and feigning misunderstanding when they ask if I mean 'advent calendar'

every time i see the word "nuzzi" in work slack

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Meet Heater, the first of many community catstituent leaders who are officially endorsing the campaign! More to come 👀 #catsforkat

I’m very unhappy about the aggressive AI upscaling in the Beatles Anthology on Disney Plus. It’s added a whole extra Beatle! Who the fuck is “George”?

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

They came for crowds, holiday energy & retail deals. #BlackFriday at Liberty Tree Mall, 1995—kids on the carousel as parents hustle & shop. 🛍️🎠 This 90s time capsule was preserved on the @InternetArchive by the original videographer. 📼 Watch the full tape ⤵️ archive.org/details/blac...

OK, I'm tired of people not moving aside. Can't ya see I have a cane and issues walking? Halifax, better please. Folks giving me strange looks because my face freezes, glaring, no blinks. It's my PD not you. On plus side, thanks to the folks opening doors :-) There are still, always, good people.

These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art

the NYT went all to hell when they stopped crate training the opinion columnists

there’s an interesting thing we’ve done in our social circle as a result of Covid which is: now we let people know before social activities if anyone has any symptoms of anything potentially contagious, so everyone can make their own risk assessment

Actually they’re all just me.

You know, before I got into tech and before I started working on the psychology of software teams I had only heard the stereotypes from the outside and the stereotypes are just so limiting. Like it's hard to wrap your head around how many identity barriers there are INSIDE of technical communities

github was up for the whole cloudflare outage and it went down as soon as the azure keynote mentioned github running on azure lol

cloudflare's on-duty IT staff bangs on the doors which I have padlocked from the inside as I calmly break open lava lamp after lava lamp and drink the contents

I am quite capable of fucking up my own machine, thanks MS.

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'" bro what-- what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

I just listened to the most recent episode with Claire Saffitz and it really hits the spot. I think Hyperfixed has found its groove and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes!

Detour Road, North Wangaratta. #AuroraAustralis #Aurora

Hiya, one of the local disableds here. While you're celebrating #Menulog closing down, remember: Woolies and Coles delivery is getting less reliable (at least where I am) and platforms like Doordash give me access to Aldi as well as ways to fix my weekly groceries when the orders are (very) wrong.
