Sorry vibecoders, the only "OpenClaw" I care about is the failed grappling claw the CIA built into the Hughes Glomar Explorer for their attempt to salvage the soviet submarine K-129 from the floor of the pacific ocean as the classified Project Azorian.

Rare sighting of a column chart taking a dip at Hove Beach. #dataviz

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

the quality of each star trek show is directly proportional to how often you see the characters engaging in hobbies

do you want to see the whole crew rushing from one high-stakes phaser fight to another? no. nobody wants to see that. we want to see bashir and o'brien playing darts

In my little neighborhood there’s a friendly Shih Tzu named Tavi & a mean Shih Tzu named Noodle & they are physically identical & live in different houses with different & delightful lesbian owners & without getting into it: it’s tearing us apart.

In the 1960s, the B-52 bomber could navigate by the stars. Celestial navigation requires spherical trigonometry, so an analog Angle Computer solved these equations electromechanically. Let's look inside...

the words that make up the title THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU are unpleasant and the order in which those words appear is upsetting

When I was in Sweden last summer a man asked me how Americans decide what is and isn’t good use of our taxes. What is our cultural mechanism? I answered truthfully (laugh that transitioned to a weird sad sound)

watching The Wire for the first time. it's so funny how much McNulty hates his kids. like he doesn't even make the token prestige tv protagonist "i'm doing this for my FAMILY" gestures.

canonically loves his kids but he's repressed: Don Draper, Seth Bullock resents his kids but uses them as an excuse for his behavior: Walter White, Tony Soprano his kids could genuinely float away in a hot air balloon for all he cares: Jimmy McNulty

A month ago I had conversation with a friend who said, after I told him I love giraffes, “Do you love giraffes or the idea of giraffes?,” & I answered that, you know, I love giraffes qua giraffes or whatevs but now, eating this store-bought sushi alone, I added, “& f*** you for asking.”

OH NO, TOILET

“Every day, over two billion cubic feet of CO2 are forced into the ground, pushing back up 245,000 barrels of oil. Mathematically, the use of CO2 to produce oil leads to a net reduction in released CO2. Philosophically, though, it is deeply unsatisfying.”

Myst (1993)

“Captain Alex has been working with Subsea since its early days. They’re still figuring it all out. As Subsea cofounder John Theodoracopulos puts it: ‘I liken a lot of what we do to cleaning up space junk or all the oxygen bottles that are left at base camp at Everest.’” @janeruffino.bsky.social:

“At first spray, it smells like a stick of Land O’ Lakes marooned on a beach at low tide. Over 10 minutes it mellows into a mesmerizing cloak of spicy vanilla with just a hint of sex-under-a-pier. I’ve received zero compliments on it and two pieces of forceful negative feedback.”

we can't have ticker tape parades because nobody has ticker tape. :( business guys don't have brass steampunk things in a glass dome in their office printing data on long strands of paper. there are no more rack-focus reactions to good numbers. the soundtrack never plays "we're in the money" anymore

all the crew members have exited the vehicle, feeling well, and are even eating a little food.

Showing Trump a brainrot split screen clip with steel rolling and a busty woman reading the Steel Construction Manual.

“Ash, oak, pine, eucalyptus, ramin. Finger-jointed wood, wood made of milled scraps. Narrow, wide, flat, scooped, beveled, painted, stained. My boss knows them all. He knows what each wood will do, and what it won’t. Whenever maple is mentioned, he starts giving everyone dark and desperate looks.”

Which one is more scary: a Mac keyboard pretending to be a Space Cadet, or a Kaypro keyboard with an extremely intense overlay?

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

“He was able to beat everyone else by taking advantage of loopholes everyone else left open because they didn’t think anyone would be crazy enough to use them. I imagine that being Orban feels puzzling, like everyone else is leaving low-hanging fruit on the ground constantly.”

the photos NASA is releasing of the moon mission are really incredible

The 30 Rockification of real life is nearing completion

No, no. It’s fine to give me a salad fork to eat my non-salad lunch. BTW, do garbage slatterns eat at the table or should I sit on the floor?

“Later he realised he could have asked for much more. If a stain or a mess is repulsive enough, stubborn enough, enough of an obstacle to the sterilised good order of things, its removal is seen as a delivery of near-religious proportions.”

“Along with its technology and culture, Korea is also exporting a warning about what is to come for us all. This is a future worth avoiding.” @pmarslanagic.bsky.social:

It was an exciting month of new growth in podcasts 🌷 Have the purges finally ended?

“Damning information, Overum says, is surprisingly easy to tease out of a conversation. Nobody expects to meet with a would-be whistleblower. ‘Their guard is down because they think I’m an investor. I’m like an undercover cop in a world where undercover cops don’t exist.’” @gordymegroz.bsky.social:

“The brokerage will check most diligently that the account number claimed is the account number, that the name matches the name on file, etc. Sometimes they will look at the signature card, because everyone enjoys live action roleplaying occasionally.“

The Way Things Work 2.0 (1996)

Now that is a name. I want to meet her and see if she’s real; I want to have drinks and gossip about our colleagues and clients for 3-7 hours; I want to travel the world with her; I want to be her.

this is the way

Happy birthday to the Washington Metro, which opened 50 years ago today with service on 4.6 mi of Red Line between Rhode Is. Ave & Farragut N. System now serves 130 mi. The DC Metro shows that, with good planning & enough investment, the public sector can succeed & build something extraordinary.

Teach your kids about subway signaling and interlockings at home before they learn it from someone else on the playground

The best weird compliment I ever got was when I was on a date with an emergency room doctor & he said to me, “You’re in great shape. It would be so easy to do a spinal tap on you.”

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.
