Sure, Lion King live action CGI is hard to watch but have you ever tried it *with motion smoothing turned on*?

The only thing standing between you and your coworker's awful keyboard shortcut request was (1) the time it takes to put up and merge the PR and (2) your stubbornness. With Opus getting better every few months it's now more important than ever to be stubborn and hard to work with.

First flight out to Utah on a holiday weekend and we’ve got the whole row to ourselves. Multiple empty rows. Every time I’ve done this flight it’s been overbooked. A bad December and January really messing with UT tourism.

Has anyone revisited Alex Garland's Devs in light of the current moment in AI tech? It has a lot to say about people in tech with quasi-religious beliefs, which... seems relevant!

same girl, same

Huh.

Mounting your own ski bindings is fun because it’s not that hard but it’s a real thrill.

These replies are blueskyism in a box.

“According to two of the people briefed on the situation, military officials deployed that technology earlier this week against what they thought was a cartel drone, but which turned out to be a party balloon.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Not drinking coffee is a lifestyle in the way that self-flagellating is a lifestyle.

Can we create a new award for whatever I am watching? This is the most brilliant, expansive experience I can remember in recent memory. A real triumph of creativity, Bad Bunny.

Continues to be criminal that Charlie Puth is not more famous.

I was going to call it stupid that Green Day was opening with American Idiot-era stuff, but turns out Holiday is a protest song so rock on, Billie Joe.

Claude Code is fun because I can fix minor bugs that affect almost no one but deeply drive me up the wall.

This is not what is happening at all. The amount of misinformation on BlueSky about AI is insane, and it keeps promising that AI is all hype that is going away soon. A really dangerous position that cedes all AI policy and decisions about how it will be used to others. Also Futurism is clickbait

@nemoran.bsky.social I smell a future flavor review

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

Nitasha one of the best to do it, have followed her for years from outlet to outlet and will continue to, but this fuckin’ sucks. It’s nothing more than oligarch maxxing and yacht hoarding.

The Gowanus Canal has frozen over, which is surprising because I figured all the antifreeze in there was designed to keep this from happening.

So when Noem is eventually fired for being aggressive and untrained, we know what the NYPost headline will be, right?

what did you think you were signing up for when you went to work at Palantir, exactly?

Has Tim Cook posted his review of MELANIA on Letterboxd yet

The combo of acute understanding of human psychology followed by the kicker in the past post. Incredible art.

I never remember to alt-text before I post. I can't edit after I post. It would be so, so easy to OCR posts without alt-text automatically if they care about more alt-text as a platform.

Pretti's mistake, according to the WSJ: "Videos of an event aren’t always definitive, but this is how it looks to us. Pretti attempted, foolishly, to assist a woman who had been pepper-sprayed by agents." www.wsj.com/opinion/time...

With ConEd rates set to increase 9% for the year, NYC and @mayor.nyc.gov can lead on lowering the barrier to residential solar. 1. Faster permitting 2. Encouraging different roof mount design (we did it for street sheds!) 3. Work with the state on balcony solar www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/22/c...

Whole lotta people sharing 2016 throwback photos in their timeline and I guess they just didn't spend any time working on a certain presidential campaign, huh.
