"The dog that didn't bark" is a phrase from a Sherlock Holmes story that means the absence of evidence can be a clue to solving a mystery. The dog's silence indicated that the thief was someone the dog knew, not a stranger. Meaning: what is not said, seen, or done, can be as revealing as what is.

Still playing but highly recommend if you like detective games and supernatural stories.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

I had never watched a mayoral acceptance speech for a city I don't live in until last night.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

“Dev Culture Is Dying The Curious Developer Is Gone” dayvster.com/blog/dev-cul... “Software development is a unique craft, it’s equal parts creative and equal parts engineering, two opposing forces that when combined can create something truly amazing.”

claude makes me more productive because I look at its output and then I'm like "damn this sucks, I guess I gotta write it myself"

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Back in Cleveland we used to go to a little pastry shop almost every weekend. After we moved to Chicago I struggled to find something similar. Turns out that might be impossible because the old place is apparently in the top 10 in the world now. www.cleveland.com/entertainmen...

On this Halloween, I remind you once again that the Monster Mash is a story of capitalist exploitation of the subjugated monster classes, and you should probably be boycotting it. Let's consider the facts:

How did we let this happen again.

Thread: a tribute to David Lynch. Let's rock.

Payed my respects to one of the greatest artists of our lifetime, David Lynch. There is a lot less ethereal wooshing in the world.

Found at O'Hare.

That's no ballroom

And so it begins...

Also.

It's funny how you can say "a person of strong constitution" and "the Constitution of the United States of America" and they feel like different words altogether, but they aren't.

well i think naming a ballroom after your best friend is something to be celebrated tbh

Why can I not find any definitive answers about whether #WordPress fully supports term aliases? I can find discussions about it going back to at least 2011 when it looked like the database structure was there but the functionality wasn't (yet?) supported.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything. It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in. Long thread.

The whole thing as a vanity exercise to demonstrate a show of force before the No Kings events. DOD had said that firing bombs over a highway was safe; state officials disagreed and shut down the highway, used by about 80K people daily. Turns out the state officials were right.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Irony has been tortured for years in an improvised dungeon under a split level in a suburban neighborhood of Palo Alto, and has just been found dead by neighbors investigating a strong smell.
