unbelievably good article i expect i will keep returning to over the next few years. fun fact: i ran into Kurzweil a decade ago. from our exchange i think he sees himself as a humanist. this article gets at exactly why he is not one.

one of the clear cases of pmc class neurosis is this desperation to simultaneously not be a pmc (aesthetically) while remaining a pmc (materially)

In English, words are rarely deleted from dictionaries. So why in 2021 did a Japanese dictionary publisher give 1,100 words the boot? How a tweet by a voice actress from Haruhi Suzumiya had our author digging into which Japanese words live and which ones die.

“donald trump’s brownshirts” Ossoff going way harder than i expected wow

incredible

put it on my tombstone:

My partner Natalie has been missing for over two weeks. She was deeply loved by so many in her community, and it feels like the cops have written her off as 'another trans suicide' and don't care to find her. Natalie deserves to be found and her loved ones deserve closure.

thought i’d be “sturdier than most” like this interviewer but it’s clear Interviewer Tilly is way sassier than Acting Tilly and that’s by design. and the whole point: one persona to act, one to rope in horny NYT journalists

Also the Minions are still here from yesterday

President Deals is surely involved in president deals, right?

Hey, DC, check out the brand-new independent, free, and reader-supported @capitalweather.bsky.social (they got out of the gang life) www.capitalweather.com

The governor thinks this is all defensible btw

neither here nor there but i fucking hate his “yips” bit

hearing reports that doug and skeeter have decided to bow out of the 250 anniversary party because “banging on a trash can has always been bigger than politics”

Between the box office performance of Obsession and Backrooms (as well as several other recent films), it feels like something about American moviegoing tastes and habits are shifting very quickly in a way for which most of the people with the money to finance movies are completely unprepared.

Delaney Hall is an absolute war zone right now, thanks to Mikie Sherrill sending in the state police to work with ICE. The feeds are really hard to watch. ICE is shooting pepper balls while the state police shoot gas and flash bangs.

The Brakrooms "Yeah, buddy!"

Boy, this is getting some attention. If you're into Star Trek, check out my my Star Trek comic about my friend who grew up in a UFO death cult that taught her that the show was real. If you like that, we wrote a full-length book about it called Occulted.

the spreadsheets icon legitimately looks like you’d asked a computer that has never seen an SVG to draw one

billboard sphere's clean eyeball trick. eye quads are flat when facing the camera, but as the billboarded object turns away from the camera the eyes offset their rotation so that the one closest to the camera stays visible even if the object is turned fully sideways

this did factor into a lot of my midlife planning and though i’m not changing course it’s nice to know in one aspect of my life i was genuinely, to a degree, overreacting

i am always saying this

this is a heretofore unseen level of self-hatred and pretension. my dude just be normal and enjoy a miller lite like everyone else!

> We’re not going back *goes back* Was pretty hard to swallow ngl

i wish JD vance had tried to colonize bluesky just slightly later because i think stringing him along with a million AI accounts on this platform dedicated to flattering him would’ve broken the man

endorse, we included Dogfish at our wedding lol

Wikipedia doesn't have to be a solo experience. Artist Spencer Chang is turning Wikipedia into a shared space where you can see traces of others and explore together!

This week's newsletter is out. It's kind of unfair to tell candidates to be more like Zohran Mamdani but he just did a great job of showing how Democrats can campaign as fiscal conservatives link.heartlandsignal.com/v/443/b6619d...

At first glance I thought Leo was sighting up an RPG

Oh my God.

Trump's disapproval rating hits 60% in the @fiftyplusone.news poll tracker. Data and analysis via @gelliottmorris.com.

genuinely scary. if i were this admin i would give @brianbeutler.bsky.social $100M from the corrupt slush fund for consulting, because he knows exactly how to break the machinery of American elections and install fascism just by throwing money at the right operatives

Very strange new trend is happening at my office. People putting names on food in the company fridge. Today, I had a tuna sandwich called Steve.

knows their audience lmao

Years ago Scalia provoked gasps in the gallery when he called the Voting Rights Act a “racial entitlement.” But turning American democracy back into a white racial entitlement, as it was for most of American history, is exactly what the Roberts Court is doing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
