A little pet peeve I have is when someone (like the reply person in the second image) assumes an entire context can be found in a social media post, and says so with smug confidence.

It's done.

@kashhill.bsky.social Thank you for all the reporting you do. Quick question: did you ever hear from the fathers whose accounts were closed by Google, and whether they were able to recover their accounts?

I think it’s fair for people to question rezoning, though I disagree. I think it’s really misleading to illustrate that with a photo of a completely different type of development double the size of what is permitted by the zoning type in the op-ed. calgaryherald.com/opinion/it-f...

It’s amazing to see people doing conspiracy thinking for something easily explained by someone signing up for this campaign using his email address after his death and saying the first name on the account is “Pedophiles”.

I didn’t think I was going to see a photo today of Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon yukking it up from the files of Jeffrey Epstein, but here we are.

There are people out there who still believe Disney is a family entertainment company just trying its best to make great movies.

Remember when they launched that public form for reports of tech company bias, and then I FOIA’d all the agencies that would have received a copy of responses and was told none exist? Let’s do that again. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Elon Musk’s fake charity has moved over $600 million in the past three years to a school that had a projected capacity of 54 elementary students, and an actual capacity of 48. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/us/… projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org… www.adastraschool.org/admissions

I love Axios’ dedication to its gimmick. www.axios.com/local/richmond…

This is the best possible “for Dummies” book title.

Announcement time: Sara, Goose, Zero and I are moving to London in January! The whole process is proving very expensive (what isn’t these days) so I’ve decided to bump the price of Obscura from $20 to $25 per year. But since it’s black friday, you can get your first year for just $10 yay!

Thinking about the Glenn Kessler bonus episode of @ifbookspod.bsky.social in reading this, especially given that it somehow lands on “false” despite everyone, in fact, learning Arabic numerals and nobody, aside from NW, suggesting he is “introducing” them. www.newsweek.com/fact-check-mam…

Bon Appetit has a paywall so they can afford to spread recipes out with an appropriate number of steps.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Too bad Silicon Valley roulette landed on Cloudflare today instead of, say, Microsoft Office.

Some people might be upset at data loss, but this error message began with “oops”.

i now believe that jeffrey epstein killed himself because if i wrote like that i would kill myself

We are so lucky to have Viagra Boys doing what they do better with each record. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl6CZD…

Canada’s NDP is fundraising on the backs of a U.S. mayoral win.

I wonder if Alberta’s Minister of Red Tape Reduction has heard about the new “Statement of Eligibility form”, introduced by Alberta’s government, required to be completed in triplicate for each voter, or the requirement to hand-count all ballots. Feels red-tapey to me.

I just finished “Lucky Loser” and the guy loves his ballrooms. Also, it’s a pretty trite comparison, but imagine the Fox News reaction if Barack Obama so much as chipped the paint.

You can make a good case for lots of Miles Davis recordings to be his best. “In a Silent Way” will always be my favourite, though. What a perfect set of pieces.

Smith in 2014: The plan to change the motto on Alberta's licence plate is a politically motivated distraction. Smith in 2025: Here's a plan to change the motto on Alberta's licence plate.

Moved by both of the essays the Verge has run so far in this series about being trans on the internet. www.theverge.com/cs/features/... www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

I love paying for Defector. defector.com/the-future-o...

Some thoughts on Liquid Glass: pxlnv.com/blog/on-liqu... I will probably need to bring the videos over to Vimeo. Also, I probably missed your favourite complaint or nitpick about it.

weird how "the demands of the market" means "report twice a year" and not "report monthly, more data for shareholders' informed decisions"

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Find some of the dumbest people with an internet connection by searching X for “to:grok is this true”.

Look, I love @techmeme.com as much as anyone, but are we learning anything when they aggregate and link to a fringe conspiracy blog like Zero Hedge? www.techmeme.com/250917/p45#a...

No, thanks.

How about the murders though?

The reason why the FP sold for so much — relative to its small output — is because it has a world view that is embraced by a readership of very wealthy people. Weiss isn't anti-establishment. She comforts the comfortable.

There’s one policy that Democrats could run on that guarantees they’d sweep back into power: making .webp images illegal

We’ve been here before. Automatically reinforcing echo chambers were demonstrably a problem so YouTube changed its recommendations system. And then OpenAI went and built an even more personalized echo chamber.

Quick question regarding the party of free speech. www.newsnationnow.com/politics/tru...

I reviewed “Apple in China”, kind of. I rarely think this, but this might be one of my favourite things I have written in a while. pxlnv.com/blog/mcgee-a...

the canadian government should seize on the hostility with the US to finally ditch the US paper sizes and switch the country to a-series sizes

A graph Joe Rogan has brought up on SIX separate episodes of his podcast to disprove climate change explicitly says the opposite of what he claims. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1bM...

@davehamilton.com Hoping you can clarify this: is MacSurfer relaunching under BackBeat?

It is very weird to me that blackletter continues to have Nazi connotations when it was banned by them, not chosen as the “official font”. (I just really like blackletter, okay?)

It should be illegal for weather apps to say there is a 0% chance of precipitation when it is currently raining.

I wonder if there is a shorter word for “state capitalism” under the direction of a single person.

A minor but good reason to reduce inequality is because billionaires are, at their core, truly bizarre. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/u...
