Janelle Monae and Lucy Dacus should be the new Mulder and Scully in Ryan Coogler's X-Files reboot and it should be a musical

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Now Oracle's AI play begins to make sense

Catching up on Industry S4 and Sagar Radia is an exceptional actor because every time the writers crank the ratchet that guy delivers

gonna spend the whole day wondering what he possibly thinks "depiction" means

People in the Budapest Metro, Hungary, shouting: “Russians, go home!”

JD Vance: Hungarians are the defenders of western civilization *monkeys paw curls*

I always wondered if Souls knew they were making one of the greatest songs ever when they were recording it.

I asked myself "how do golf courses possibly afford property taxes" so I looked it up and came away convinced we could virtually eliminate the entire sport by simply removing several dumb tax loopholes

How are there not 5000 covers of John Brown's Body for me to play today?

Two thoughts watching Pluribus (finally): - Rhea Seeborn deserves her flowers - It's kinda like the premise is "What if inverted Koyaanisqatsi as a high-concept scifi comedy?"

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.

hospital and municipal IT are going to get fucking wrecked whenever someone releases Mythos-class models to the wild and I hope someone in a position to do something about that is on top of it

OK, if this is truly the case, how long does Hegseth have left? As Trump belatedly starts to understand the consequences, not only will he want someone to punish but there's going to be more and more fingerpointing amongst the viziers and Pete seems like the most likely target for everybody else

It's far from clear that Iran has actually agreed to much of anything. In the last 20 minutes, some Iranian channels started signalling that Tehran would reject the ceasefire proposal. (Which could have just been posturing and speculation.) I have zero idea what this "10-point proposal" is.

there isn't much documentation of the Basque–Icelandic pigeon language that formed among whalers in the 1600s but at least we know these phrases

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Would be great if Manfred instituted this rule in MLB: only dogs can be bat boys.

This is absolutely beautiful and very well done. > Nothing you own is finished. Everything exists in a state of permanent incompletion, permanently needing. https://www.terrygodier....

Reflections on the Claude Code source code leak from @techtrenches.dev “The leak isn’t the story. The code is the story.”

tbf, I believe in addition to she/they, Janelle Monáe also identifies as "free-ass motherfucker" and I feel like she implied that is the default www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I don't have the knowledge to parse Baptist networks but this appears to be affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the tone is... not thrilled. Is Hegseth beefing with the SBC?

Gonna call it: Tom Cruise

sick! www.opentools.studio

This is a great fun short video about why US trucks have gotten so ginormous & deadly, and it’s because the govt & car companies (under Clinton!) did a deal so larger vehicles don’t need to be as fuel efficient, which led the automakers to prioritize making & marketing child killing juggernauts.

I am in the mood for a judge story, this time about the late Andy Hauk, United States District Judge in LA. I’ve told the story before but it’s lost to the other place. Think “Walder Frey, but a federal judge.” Ancient and irascible and inappropriate and hard of hearing and v. shouty. /1

Someone sent me this.

There are now 10 toilets in Space International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Artemis II on way around Moon: 1 This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

"we were shocked to learn that protective paternalism is actually a condescending form of overt sexism" is really telling on yourself

just a few minutes away from Bret Stephens getting another prediction wrong

the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum i am going to the store

This is really indescribably horrifying.

This is either brilliant or scary: Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA. BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

by age 30 you should have no fewer than three fermented bean pastes

this is absolutely amazing for The Shining reference alone

Truly the best - read it immediately if you haven't yet

Crazy but true: Preston Sturges was born Edmund Preston Biden, and was likely a distant relative of Joe Biden; his second wife—whom he eloped with over her parents’ objections—was the daughter of Marjorie Merriweather Post, who built & originally owned Mar-a-Lago in the 1920s with her husband.

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

the thing about theories is that they require supporting evidence @slotkin.senate.gov

I assume Indivisible is wishcasting here but I will say if they get the schools closed a lot people probably cannot show up to work, feels like a bit of a turnkey
