When it comes to generating clever ideas, AI is that one producer in the pitch meeting who keeps saying “but what if they were *dead the whole time*?!?”

Less than 48 hours after the deadly attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach that left more than a dozen dead, Australian authorities announced proposals for sweeping new gun laws. n.pr/48UTa7g

"He took every Advanced Placement class he could, earned a scholarship to Brown and worked at Wawa over the summer to make enough money to buy a laptop, according to his two sisters."

“Words fail me when I read that Alex Kleytman, an 87-year-old Ukrainian Holocaust survivor, was celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach with his wife of 57 years, also a Holocaust survivor. He was killed while shielding Larisa from the bullets with his own body.” www.thebulwark.com/p/shock-horr...

my new video - The Complete Bash Scripting Course - is premiering right now on youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx9z...

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

Words I would never thought I’d say: I hope my new Forstner bits actually arrive tomorrow so I can finish my Moxon vise, and maybe some doors.

Ads in everything, everywhere. Ads pushed to all your devices you bought and supposedly own but have little actual control over. We found a thing you’ll like! You better do this thing or you’ll miss out! Here are a dozen texts and calls a day demanding shit from you! Cognition vampires.

Minnesotans don't mess around

Is there any historical precedent for Nazis being defeated by a harsh winter climate?

Like someone running Mass Effect Andromeda at launch facial animations.

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.

THERE IS NO ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION featuring right near the top of this one! Thank you!

First bevel ever. Used a Temple Tools ryoba and my Veritas jack. Took at least an hour. Front jaw of a Moxon vise I’m making. Walnut and maple. Maple is such a pain in the ass but I keep using it for everything.

This little chisel plane from Blue Spruce Tools is great. Been using it for cleanups.

“I’m descended from wolves and also love manga”

wow holy fuck

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Clamps make me feel safe, ok. (www.bonfire.com/clamps-make-...)

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Us vs the Klept.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

In some ways Johnson feels worse than even Trump and Vance, who are just a narcissistic criminal and a narcissistic striver, respectively. They may be awful people but they still feel human. Johnson feels like a walking representation of the uncanny valley, like a ski suit being operated by ants.

It’s 2025 and you don’t know how to handle a hyphen in a name on your website? Really?

Actually giving everyone learning accommodations would remove both the burden and the stigma of seeking them from anyone who needs them, and would be a big positive step in education policy, just like free school lunch helps all kids and all their families. Gatekeeping hurts everyone.

This is a wild, disturbing, & generally fantastic story & if you're voting on awards please give it a read/listen.

A great book, and a beautiful presentation of this fun, but contemplative, blue collar science fiction slice-of-life manga.

Pundit ratfucker: This won’t be a popular opinion but [gurgling noises as a xenomorph punches its weird little second mouth piston through their face]

“Slow Gods” by Claire North is very, very good.

AI is the tool of the incompetent hack. If you don't give a shit about the quality of your output, why should anyone else? (And there's no such thing as "AI art". Art is made by humans. "AI art" is just the sludge that comes out of the blender someone else filled with stolen ingredients.)

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

This is a good list. I’d add 1999’s RAVENOUS

holy shit

Not solution even though solution-shaped!

Get you a man that looks at you like Chris Schwarz looks at stick chairs.

Watched The Last Crusade with the kids. Holds up. Now we have watched both Indiana Jones movies with them! (Also my “billionaires and Nazis, name a more iconic duo” quip got a snort from my meme-fried children.)

Normally, an object of this nature would be classified as Safe. However, researchers believe that this artifact has a memetic effect that compels individuals to share it with their followers on social media platforms.

Removed an AP to fix a “slow network” problem. Clearly the fastest network is no network.
