If someone had accurately described Widow's Bay to me as "Parks & Rec meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer" I'd have started watching it a lot sooner. (cc @michaelfan.bsky.social)

Installed a new side door lock and fixed my kid's broken Pokemon save using a hex editor this weekend. How I feel right now:

Ages 12-20 for me, and I don’t wear a diaper that big, but otherwise this is uncanny

About that peace plan.. “The U.S. military said Monday that it carried out “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran, including on missile launch sites and boats placing mines, even as President Donald Trump said on social media that negotiations were “proceeding nicely.” apnews.com/article/iran...

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

negotiations are 95% complete except for the strait of hormuz, iran’s nuclear program and israel in lebanon

if games journalism is still your Dream, then i'll say one thing: have a deadline? get paid reasonably for it. if you're not, then do it on your terms. a better-written portfolio done at a humanly possible pace is better than the slop this model will incentivize talented writers to write to get by.

"who was president from March 2020-January 20, 2021?" is one of the most fiercely contested questions in American politics

Contrary to what Steven Rosenbaum claims in this fascinating interview about the AI-hallucinated/reworked quotes in his book about AI’s fraught relationship with reality, he did in fact use AI to write his book. Everything he says he used AI for IS part of writing.

A great article. Really shows how the author of that book has already succumbed to AI brain rot.

This was deeply depressing and spiritually draining to read about.

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

The thing that amazes me about people like this is that the task they are trying to do is almost always trivial to do *without* genAI... but they've never bothered to try. You can export your slide deck speaker notes as a handout. Maybe 10 seconds. No unauthorized editing.

You love to see it

evergreen

This reminds me of the way some people swear up and down they're too smart and in control to be addicts, all while in the throes of addiction.

This is one of the most infuriating things I’ve ever read Big “The rake keeps hitting me in the face but it takes more steps to walk around it” energy

This interview is an great case study of psychological pitfalls that arise from misunderstanding how LLMs work + believing yourself smart enough that you can simply overcome any cognitive peril through will and insight. Also of the fact that people are lazy and laying themselves open to exposure!

"I asked if the risk of introducing inaccuracies that you might not catch was worth the perceived benefits. 'I don’t do drugs, and I don’t drink, but I presume that that’s kind of the question an addict asks when they’re having one drink too many and they know they are,' Rosenbaum said." AAAAAAH

A thing that I find myself saying more and more often is "Fast, but wrong, is still wrong."

Is using AI like riding a bicycle down a protected bike lane, or more like tearing down the highway on a motorcycle at 100 mph? Your answer probably says a lot about your relationship to AI...

This week, you may have heard about fabricated, AI-generated quotes appearing in a book covering AI's reality-skewing effects. I talked to the author, and what came out is, I think, a fascinating look at how people justify their own continued of these imperfect tools arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/a...

Not small differences from Trump 1 emerging in the approval data

Even republican senators can see how insanely corrupt the slush fund is.

Was not expecting this heartfelt thread in response to an obvious troll

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

OMG this site has archived the silly Theme Decks I wrote about for TheDojo dot com back in high school! library-of-leng.com/search?q=Kyl...

oh no, i don't use the ai for <thing that i am paid to do> it's terrible at that. it's great for <thing you are paid to do> though.

Just so we're clear, when he talks about "the most violent thing" he's ever seen in politics, he's *not* talking about those who violently attacked the Capitol in his name, while violently clashing with police officers. He's instead talking about efforts to hold them and their allies accountable.

The message shouldn't be "taxes are bad," it should be that you should get something for them, it's your money, it shouldn't be going to some rich dipshit's Dr. Claw-ass ballroom or into the pockets of J6 child molesters

One thing that gets missed in President Trump's discussion of "weaponization" and his tax returns: The person who leaked Trump's tax returns did so when Trump was president and in charge of the IRS. He was indicted and sent to prison for that during the Biden administration.

This important promotional message brought to you by… an apple in my fridge?!

This was every Kickstarter game dev pitch for a while there

Fun fact: The one on the right hung up in my first off-campus apartment in college

These two 2000 print ads were not intended to be placed together. If they are, they inadvertently seem to tell a grim story of a person who played Mario Golf as a solace from an unsuccessful love life, only to get addicted to the game and starve.

Were you even alive in the '90s if you don't have fond memories of the Sour Mander?

If you don’t subscribe to the print edition of The Onion you are missing some great fake ads

Director: OK, for this shot, we need your face to convey "I am horribly embarrassed and ashamed by this game, but I have to put on a brave front because all my 'friends' are laughing it up and don't realize how uncomfortable this is making me." Actress: Sure thing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONox...

Anyone else have an "If I ever become a YouTuber/streamer/speedrunner" handle locked and loaded in reserve? Mine is "Techincal KO"

Some personal news

That wizard came from the moon

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.

i mean, you could add that he is doing this as *acting* attorney general because he can’t get senate confirmation

Got an email detailing the shooting schedule for a "Visit Myrtle Beach" commercial shoot in my email this morning(?!) Turns out one of the child actors has a father with my name who they assumed used my email address Strongly considering stealing his identity
