Took 40-odd years but Bruce has finally allowed "Born in the USA" to be used in a commercial. By the ACLU. Supporting birthright citizenship. Yeah.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Carter: Colonel! O'Neill (p90 pointed offscreen): come on, Daniel, what does it say? Daniel Jackson: well if Im reading this right, they worshipped a being named "Miette", who had the power to imprison you for... one thousand years... Teal'c: I believe it would be most unwise to awaken this "Miette"

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

Making your conference talk slides? Make the font bigger. Do it again. I know the default font looks ok when you’re looking at it on your laptop but I promise no one can read that from the back If you can’t fit all the words you want on one slide, you have too many words. Make another slide!

this quote, more than any other, is the inspiration for this series as long as Terry’s work is not forgotten he is not truly dead, and my goal with this series is to remind people of his wisdom GNU Terry Pratchett

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m... I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

A growing body of research has looked at GLP-1 drugs for alcohol use disorder. A new study shows the medications could have a broader effect on addiction.

"I get what you're saying but there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about today" he said chaser.com.au/general-news...

The biggest danger of adopting an AI-centered app development workflow isn't security, performance, or code quality. It's what I've started calling "feature slop". When a feature cost $20k to build, we spent a whole lot of time considering whether it was the right solution to the problem.

it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny

did you know? you can just put eyebrows on a dog if you want

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

Well I was on IRC and USENET before it was called “social media” so lol, lmao. Also shoutout to my LJ/AO3 peeps from before this poster-come-lately was old enough to develop object persistence. 😹

holy fuckin shit lmao a supply chain attack perpetrated by a prompt injection in a github ISSUE TITLE eh. coding agents? what could go wrong

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

Have you ever seen a cat whose facial expression better represents how all of us feel these days

Still looking for my next role - if you know anyone who needs an award winning game designer, narrative designer, or content designer with technical skills and people managing experience who has been at it for 15 years and has made stuff that is taught in schools, hit me up at [email protected]

Update late last night:

If you have the prerequisite knowledge to know that something is correct, you don't need the machine, and if you do not, it can never help you because you can't check it. That's the problem.

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

I do gotta say that if anyone had told teenage me that someday I would be prepared to personally bail out an entire high school but the woman who made The Matrix did it instead I would definitely have been like “ok somebody needs their meds adjusted” What an absolute real one. Thank you, Lilly 😭

Chinese gamer banter is on a level we can't even hope to compete with

cant.stop.laughing

This is a very important quote from the interview that I hope every single company hoping to capitalize on the gaming industry reads and internalizes. Games are a unique market, and you can't just apply strategies from other industries and find success. This has been proven time and time again.

for some reason the left (goldman sachs) refuses to take AI seriously

What have we learned from history? Would people let a Trojan Horse through their gates today?

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

Ah, that’s what demosceners do when they grow up!

Sometimes you just get an idea for a meme and you have to make it.

For all the mythology around small town Australia, all of the narrative of this piece strike true. It is not limited to small towns and football clubs. It is the same kind of attitude that underpins institutional abuse. CW for the linked piece. It is harrowing www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
