'i was chased off this web site by an angry mob' oh did the internet users physically pursue you? did they have pitchforks and torches? did they yell 'monster?' no? then stop appropriating frankenstein experience

I cannot imagine a more on-the-nose metaphor than tech companies filling their offices with free drugs that supposedly enhance your productivity but are more addictive than heroin. fortune.com/2026/03/04/p...

My hot take is that failure is good, actually. And letting your kid/s fail will help them learn and grow. A kinder, gentler FAFO, if you will.

On this Memorial Day a salute to the news correspondents who've died covering the world's wars. I want to pay special tribute to one of my closest friends, Natasha Singh. She was 28. Along with the AP's Sharon Herbaugh she was one of 15 aboard a helicopter who died in a 1990 crash in Afghanistan.

aging has taught me that all those commercials with older famous people were not necessarily that older regular people thought “oh i should buy that thing because that famous person likes it” and more “oh my god they’re old, am i old??? should i do something about being old???”

y'all gotta work on the amount of hurt that comes out when someone has any piece of criticism for this app

Now I’m starting to wonder how many grown-ass adults have never, you know, purchased groceries to cook something at home.

The Shining

My hometown of Minneapolis's once-great alt-weekly City Pages died because of corporate malfeasance/negligence. Racket fills the void and then some.

Last weekend I met up with a friend in NYC who had never been there. Showed him The Lot Radio. I got nostalgic for some of the truly great moments I used to have there, and was also glad to see it still can get very packed.

charli xcx out here proving you should just do whatever you want. just drop the song. just drop the record. nobody gives a fuck about your rollout anymore, it makes you look like a plant. do art. do anything but what they want you to do. then live forever happy

I cannot overstate how big a role illiteracy plays in Everything Wrong With The World Today. People who don’t read become people who can’t read become people who hate reading (and readers).

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

A cool thing that you’d think California would’ve done by now but hasn’t is to make it illegal to brick a working piece of software for no other reason than that you bought it ten years ago

Ross Barkan's plagiarism mini scandal has barely been discussed on Bluesky. We should be taking note of it. Especially since, now that he has responded on Twitter, his explanations are ridiculous.

Grogu found some raisins in my backpack and ate them and had a seizure and died

i've seen hundreds of episodes of At The Movies and i can promise anyone reading this that both of those men were complete lunatics and fools with a perfectly equal share of deranged and nonsensical opinions. that being said, easily one of the best tv shows of all time.

RIP to my favorite dive bar beer, a true legend, the beer that made Milwaukee famous. This is a genuine bummer. www.jsonline.com/story/money/...

The Packers paid a stop motion artist to create their schedule video by hand and captioned their behind-the-scenes video “your AI slop bores us.” The people’s team!

Interview with Bunny X coming Monday.

Watching Pan's Labyrinth. Hits differently 20 years later.

I'm really mad that this story has been going on for days and nobody has asked Christopher Nolan if the cyclops is going to be historically accurate

A reminder of why allowing internet archiving is so important (at a time when too many news orgs are blocking places like @archive.org ).

Can't believe humans survived massive animal predators, deadly climate extremes, high risks of infection, and severe food insecurity just to have to deal with decluttering

Incredible

Looks like major digital music distro Tunecore is providing free Google Flow Music credits. In other words, a major provider of music to streamers and iTunes is pushing AI music tools and pitching distribution of AI music to platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, etc. Hmm.
