McDonald’s CEO says potential customers cooking burger at home are on a very dangerous path.

Is there even a meaningful difference "63% of Republicans believe" and "63% of Republicans will tell a pollster they believe because parroting a known falsehood reinforces their sense of tribal belonging"?

I've had it with this revisionist BS. The founding fathers never intended the Federal Reserve to be a coequal branch of government. It's clear from Madison's diaries that the Federal Reserve was created to execute monetary policy entirely under the guidance of the God Emperor.

I very nearly owned one of these thanks to a buddy who worked at the King County (Seattle) sheriff. If the Boston cops hadn't (rightly) taken it as a serious potential threat and convinced other agencies nationwide to do the same, it could have been mine.

When I started at Raytheon back in 2004, we were moving off of these to commodity hardware. A few years later, they were officially retired and the company was soliciting ideas for what to do with the decommissioned servers. I thought it would be cool to have one in the front lobby for seating.

LABYRINTH was released 40 years ago today! The film was a box office flop in U.S. cinemas. Thanks to home video and television, the film become one of the most beloved cult fantasy movies ever made.

The guy at the 1900's world fair who had the mechanical Turk missed a trick by not claiming with enough investment it could replace all workers

I heard if you say “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!” into a mirror 3 times, a genie gives you 8647 wishes.

I cant even

Even when they’re yours. Especially when they’re yours.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

... so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding Prime Ministers to Larry the Cat and then his daughter started crying.

Wild story. After all the speculation that Tulsi was getting orders from Moscow, it turns out maybe she was getting orders from Honolulu instead?

Oderus would be proud

here's a counter-narrative I hope reaches enough people before it's too late: Companies that lean too hard into AI right now are going to go out of business. Some firms "behind" in AI adoption now will weather the coming storm precisely because they are. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/when...

Check out this sword stuck in a stone!!

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

I’m not too embarrassed that we are losing to Iran. It’s a big boy country with missiles and drones and so forth ran by stone cold killers. That’s NFL ball for you. I am a little embarrassed we are also losing to algae.

Science works. Vaccines save lives. FUCK cancer.

I am pleased to report that I can still successfully terminate ethernet cable. I am less pleased to report that I had to borrow my wife's loupe to get the job done. My eyes aren't what they used to be.

This weekend, I did an interview about my forthcoming book *The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI* (a book about being a better AI critic), and the interviewer said she was surprised that I wasn't an AI booster, based on my demographics and work history: us.macmillan.com/books/978037... 1/

I’ll take Streisand Effect for 400, Alex.

The Secretary of the Interior is saying right now that wind power is a national security threat. So, that

Holy forking shirtballs.

Has anyone ever seen Andrew Singleton in the same room as Ed Zitron? I'm not saying one of them is the other's secret identity... I'm just saying it's something we may need to investigate.

"I know this might seem surprising coming from me, but considering that the price of bread is currently skyrocketing, Trump spending millions on a red, white, and blue drenched octagon is a real slap in the face to John Q. Plebeian."

Every year, @bsidesorl.bsky.social is lucky enough to get incredibly cool art from the wonderfully talented @stupidshepherd.bsky.social Screw the toasters. Support real artists, y'all!

I went back in time to 65 million BCE and stepped on a butterfly, and when I got back to 2026 everyone is tricking each other into watching the music video for Information Society's What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy). They call it PureRolling. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijAY...

Nerds make awesome music, y'all.
