Databrokers delenda est!

Claude Code is great and all, but I don't think any tech tool has saved my ass (or will save my ass) more than Oh Shit, Git!?!

Never thought I’d see my hometown mentioned in TechCrunch. Can’t say I know Ida’s family but I appreciate the stand they’re taking.

K03 has been recovered from the void and is no longer lost media. I think I’ll just stop reading news for the rest of the weekend so nothing spoils this feeling. www.reddit.com/r/MST3K/s/L5...

I don't mean this to sound insensitive at ALL but it's not lost on me that schools and holidays and whatever else are immediately being renamed due to new info about Cesar Chavez While white men with accusations like of heinous crimes get to keep their jobs AS PRESIDENT

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

Name a performer you’re always happy to see in a film or series?

Unarguable proof that @jasonkoebler.bsky.social is just 3 @edzitron.com in a trench coat

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Pure gold from Cory

Without humanity involved in every step of the process, there is no new intelligence--just a recycling of what exists. And even more devastating? No wisdom.

"What was my value proposition here? With Trump slathering everything with gold paint and turning ICE into a super-charged federal employment program for neo-nazi gun nuts, what am I gaining now on paper that I’m not getting regardless when that bile-hearted bastard keels over?"

On the one hand, every single instance of the goons, thugs, and grifters in the Exec branch running roughshod over our constitutional order deserves to be called out. We shouldn't stop demanding accountability. On the other hand... another Strongly Worded Letter? Chuck Schumer must be so proud.

FOSS Nerds: We are announcing today an exciting project, the Hurtsume Nexus, an AGPL fork of the closed source Torment Nexus

My first thought when I saw this article was “I wonder if @lennart.0x58ed.com has built this into @nzyme.org yet?” www.404media.co/this-app-war...

Oh man... why is this how I'm finding out that we lost Bud Cort a couple weeks ago?

I've had Rhythm Section Want Ad stuck in my head since I rolled out of bed 6.5 hours ago. I love the song and it has some incredibly clever lyrics (Speak softly, drive a Sherman tank.), but I need it to stop.

Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime: www.404media.co/leaked-email...

I need to hear "Garbage In" right now. :D

Sitting in the Philly airport listening to The Dead Milkmen because I am a man of culture. Des Moines, Iowa: perfect example.

I'm a simple creature. I see a beloved actor delivering a monologue that is simultaneously timeless and timely and I reskeet.

I will say gently: every famous counter sit-in from the Civil Rights era was a crime. Nonviolent civil disobedience is quite literally and explicitly a strategy where you commit crimes.

Sometimes McSweeney's is hilarious. Sometimes it's a punch in the gut. Either way, it's almost always worth a click. Also, Langston Hughes (final link in the McSweeney's piece) is beyond words.

The most shocking part of “Steven Spielberg completes his EGOT by winning a Grammy” isn’t that Spielberg won a Grammy or already has a Tony, it’s that one of his four Emmys is for Steven Spielberg Presents: A Pinky & the Brain Christmas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pinky...

If everyone you meet is a problem, maybe you're the problem?

Trackball wasn't working great. Ball not spinning freely. Cursor not moving as expected even when ball was moving. I popped the ball out and cleaned it and now it works fine. It's me. Hi. I'm the problem, it's me.

This right here. However you would react to Elon hiring a team to manually photoshop the clothes off of women and children on demand, that's how you should react to Elon releasing a computer program that does it.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Well, this made me cry:

Our 2nd most-read piece of 2025 is by the forever funny @mikedrucker.bsky.social, and we have no idea what he was getting at here, but it seemed to have struck a nerve with many, many readers.

Why is there always so much good shit to read on the last day of the year?

I can't say I blame her.

Why doesn't bsky have a built-in AI that I can use to immediately generate a picture of Zuck as Torgo? On second thought... platform's probably better without that kind of feature.

Really enjoyed @404media.co's list of year-end recommendations in my inbox this morning. In particular, this @katewagner.wehwalt.net essay (recommended by @samleecole.bsky.social) was an exceptional read and I can't recommend it highly enough: lux-magazine.com/article/priv...

Sadly, the Powerball ticket my wife bought yesterday was not a winner. But we're waking up this morning in a house full of people we love, so I think things are going to be just fine even without the $1.7 billion.

Oh look. It me.

It's 9:32 AM and I've just said "This isn't a brand new footgun, it's just an easier to use version of our existing footgun." I should probably just call it a day.

While Fish and Churro aren’t fully convinced it was a good hire, management is pleased to welcome Cheez-It to our feline engineering team. She will be focusing on feathered toy deconstruction for the next few months.

What will the AI* bubble leave behind when it bursts? pluralistic.net/2025/10/16/p...

Sitting in an airport lounge and The 700 Club is on the tv behind me. This media bubble has zero overlap with my own media bubble beyond acknowledging that Hamas bad and did bad thing 2 years ago.
