I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

Maybe the most vital reporting I've seen today. Trump admin went to war today with his own intelligence saying that Khamenei's death could lead to the IRGC taking over.

So for those of you working your way through the Oscar-nominated short films, I recommend ending with the happy ones, because I was an absolute wreck. Especially with the documentaries. End with these: Documentary: Perfectly a Strangeness Live action: A Friend of Dorothy Animated: The Three Sisters

Here we go. Free, no-reg versions of favorite stories from my four years at the Washington Post. First, three pieces from our Pulitzer-finalist series on how India's ruling party coerced U.S. tech giants into violating their own policies. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/0...

For The New York Times to choose to publish Jesse Singal today, of all times, is a choice to attack trans people, to make them even more vulnerable while they are already under attack. It is an appalling abdication of the Times’s journalistic duties.

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots. This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline. An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION. Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

I'm actually not too bad at this, even while foggyheaded and sick, and I think it's because I consume so much Insta content on color palettes and subseasons. dialed.gg

I ordered some lipstick which came with this weird makeup bag with no zipper but I think it looks better as a hat.

One of those colds where things that should take ten minutes take four hours. :/

Here's a free link to the story: archive.is/202602161310...

When a hacker named "Waifu" and "Judische" began posting death threats against security researcher Allison Nixon, she had no idea why he targeted her. So she set out to unmask him. The quest led her to Connor Moucka, a 25-yr-old Canadian who was ringleader of infamous Snowflake/AT&T hacks. My story:

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

sad that we lost Jordan Breen before this WMMA superfight; would've listened to every podcast and read every post...

NEW: Def Con banned hackers Pablos Holmes and Vincenzo Iozzo, as well as former MIT Media Lab director Joichi Ito, from attending the conference based on their links to Jeffrey Epstein. Holmes and Iozzo exchanged emails with Epstein for several years.

It’s so weird when people say any specific lunar new year only comes once in sixty years because they all only come once in sixty years. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I've been texting all of my friends their Lunar New Year fortunes, which is even more fun for the ones who don't believe in it.

It's ok to speak the truth in whatever message you have. whether modulated so that the more skittish can feel more comfortable hearing it or a harsh, necessary wake-up Sometimes it's a shout Sometimes it's a whisper just please, say it -- especially now, in the time when lies reign.

Federal court orders Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits at President’s House in Philadelphia. Happy Presidents Day.

if you tell me a good use of leftover egg whites is a souffle, and then proceed to tell me that the souffle also needs 4 egg yolks, then i'm throwing you into an oubliette

Roses are red Vice is inherent

I keep reading that we’re galloping into the Year of the Horse, but since we’re still in the Year of the Snake for a couple more days, wouldn’t we be slithering into it? 🐍 🐎

why is there anti-homeless architecture in pokemon

I got my husband one of these tiny TVs (with the joke being that we don't have a TV in our guest room) and he loves it! tinycircuits.com/products/tin...

I just got through my list of things I promised to send people at @districtcon.bsky.social and @cactuscon.com, so if I owe someone links or slides or intros or studies or book titles or w/e, now is not too soon to bug me. :)

it's cool that there are Chase Lounges now. that used to just be a way to mispronounce furniture

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

When this investigation is over I would not be surprised to see a lot of finger pointing. It remains extremely odd to me that the Sheriff's office initially said the Nest cam footage was inaccessible and then the FBI seemingly got it from Google, whose procedures for law enforcement are very clear.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

I love it when I pay for something, can't log in, cancel, get a refund, and then am CHARGED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING MONTH.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

So uh Ars Technica ran an article that had a bunch of fake quotes in it and now seems to have taken it down rather than issue a correction? web.archive.org/web/20260213... Page is now down: arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/a...

🎶 "When I said take me to the moon, I never meant take me alone. I thought if mankind toured the sky, it meant that all of us could go. But I don't want to see the stars if they're just one more piece of land for us to colonize, for us to turn to sand." 🎶

In an internal memo in May, Meta laid out its plans to release facial recognition in its smart glasses, to the blind first, & then to the general public. “Civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

So, like, are the QAnon folks reacting at all to discovering that Trump’s inner circle is basically just Jeffrey Epstein’s rolodex, or have they found some delusional way to explain it all away? (The question is largely rhetorical.)

Even the internet's favorite dog account calls out Ring video cameras what they are: Mass surveillance.

The showed us cute missing dogs & we consented to turning our doorbell cameras into a mass human tracking system. Mark my words, Ring's Search Party will become the next Flock. Only instead of just being sketchy cameras installed in parking lots, it will be everywhere. That's their play.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

That halftime show was fire. 🔥
