This. The dream of the 90s is dead. Cheap rent enables every kind of creative work and nothing else can substitute for it.

They aren't planning to win by getting more votes, though. Or leaving should an election slip by unmolested.

I read this as Martini Religion, and it still works.

All this "the Heartland(TM) is the Real America(TM)" stuff is just gussied-up white supremacy. And it's pretty blatantly Wal-Marty, too; not very gussied-up at all.

As an author, I treat the boneyard as a resource. Its gravestones are lithic library. Rarely will I walk its paths without being gifted a character's name, a tale to tell. It whispers to me. The dead desire to talk and it would be rude to ignore them. – #CLNolan

This feels weird. A lot of reporting is sounding very much like "how long will this take to get back to normal" when there's no sign in the short term that normality will return at all It's like 2020 Covid reporting

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent. In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country. This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

last night when I tried to describe what it felt like to be at a conference with so much great work happening amid ~~everything else~~, I ended up just relating the Jackpot chapter of The Peripheral

This is the aesthetic we need for the Neuromancer show.

Atlanta is showing up to say no ICE, no war, No Kings. #NoKings

The Iran war has already changed global energy markets forever. When will the pipeline pushing politicians in Canada wake up to this new reality? #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/27/o...

everything's an unidentified flying object when you completely lack the ability to identify flying objects

Does anyone really think it matters anymore?

the guy whose state only exists because of great power protections over the Strait of Malacca is someone to pay attention to here

Am I crazy, getting ahead of myself, or is the Iran war already shaping up to be systemically significant? Unless the US gets a military victory or clear concessions—not looking good—then Iran keeping Hormuz closed breaks the post-WWII US military dominance in the Gulf, with wide reverberations.

just some quick napkin math on this, $375 million is 0.18% of meta's reported 2025 revenue of $200.97 billion, or 0.62% of meta's reported 2025 profit of $60.46 billion. $375 million is the maximum penalty allowed by law. the system just like, fundamentally doesn't work lol

Reminder that Lee wasn't the best Virginian general. By almost any metric it was Union General George H Thomas. R E Lee was the ONLY Virginian Colonel to turn traitor and fight for the Confederacy. @pptsapper.bsky.social and I did a whole pod about all the others. cms.megaphone.fm/channel/the-...

Today has been another miserable one in the game industry. My heart is with every single Epic employee who lost their jobs or will return to work tomorrow without their colleagues. Epic makes a ridiculous amount of money. Epic spent an absurd amount fighting Apple and Google. EPIC MAKES FORTNITE $

BookBub ebook of Idoru! Download the Kindle app and you can read it on anything. Very timely, given passionate relationships with AI self-creations etc.

This re the BookBub Idoru ebook. Much appreciated, and I feel we’re basically there already for a Kardashian/AI hook-up!

The Sedgley Glove Gun. A single-shot .38 caliber pistol attached to an ordinary leather work glove. A weapon of “last resort.” To use the gun, you make a fist and punch the guy in the chest. The plunger next to the barrel gets pushed in, triggering the gun at point-blank range.

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

And they say Gibson is prophetic.

It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.

Here’s the Battersea Shield, a masterpiece of Celtic bronzework. It was found in the Thames in the 1800s & was probably a votive offering. Has to be one of my favourite items in the museum. I could stare at it forever following those sinuous lines & curves. 🏛️British Museum 📷 mine #FindsFriday

A senior network staffer tells me this about the end of CBS News Radio: "Tom Cibrowski and Bari Weiss just murdered 99 years of history. They have no respect for news and, evidentially, CBS or its hard earned legacy."
