Change in Headline

The two inevitable technologies that VC ends up reinventing are phrenology and the bus.

Let’s check in with people who threatened to leave Zohran Mamdani’s NYC: defector.com/lets-check-i...

…Like, I mourn the old, exclusive, unprofitable, enigmatic Internet, sure. But it’s worth remembering that a lot of that good stuff is STILL HERE, even as the corporate parasites that tried to replace it rot away before our eyes.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

you can watch Dracula’s Ex-Girlfriend and The Prince AND the next two episodes of Philosophy Tube for free this weekend if you want go.nebula.tv/philosophytube

"This year, as every year, Epilepsy Compassion Day occurs on Cheap Strobe Lights On Sale Day"

Cool how "let's pay tribute to combat veterans" day is so close to "every silly sod with a fiver and a lighter can cause random explosions" day.

When Cuomo finally learned consent

Mamdani already moving the needle on sex offenders, you love to see it

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

In Chicago, total strangers were pulling off the road to jump out of their cars and hug other total strangers. Me, I was in Arizona to speak at a college. So, yeah. Wasn't here. 😭

Bill de Blasio today, at long last:

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

I finally watched the James Gunn Superman and if anything, I think people undersold how hard it goes on Israel. Watching the Justice Gang/League beat the shit out of the not-IDF and dropping not-Netanyahu to his doom was magnificent. Also Lex Luthor just being Elon Musk is inspired.

This is actually deeply validating. I have had so many early-project conversations where the core of a game or story or @friends-table.bsky.social season idea is something emotive and affective instead of a simple narrative logline or mechanical pitch.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

[remembering the hillary '08 campaign spreading photos to imply obama was a muslim, as an attack on him] mmmmm.

I maintain that every one of these people should be forced to live on SNAP for a month.

That's my Batman

Let's keep showing them how profoundly irritating we can be, because they have an easy out. It's right there!

For whom does the winds of winter blow? They blow for thee, Sam Altman.

Trans people: are murdered, subjected to medical malpractice, and stigmatized Number of out trans people: is low Society: let's treat trans people better! Number of out trans people: increases Society: wtf social contagion. Let's bring back the murder, stigma, and medical malpractice

Opinion by Jan Resseger: In Ohio, with the passage of Senate Bill 1, honest exploration of American history is also the target of the Trump administration’s effort to insert its ideological bias into history and social studies teaching. janresseger.wordpress.com/2025/10/30/s...

In The Running Man, Arnold is told to gun down people peacefully protesting for food. He refuses, is taken captive, and is sent to prison and framed for the deaths of the protesters via deepfake video. I still don't know why we need a new one.

don't let them make you think this is something you need.

Good morning! Its a whole new week! What better way to start the week than by playing the game described as "I became genuinely worried how much I wanted to strangle the horse" and "is there even a horse in this?" i will strangle a horse A game. By me. brainmage.itch.io/i-will-stran...

that’s right beg you miserable worm

i’m going to make it thru this year (as a threat)

It's been mostly leaked in the Official Affinity Discord (a lawless place) but seems to be: - all affinity in 1 app - v2 no longer will get updates - Canva AI built in - "freeium" unless you want AI www.affinity.studio

kind of unfair that Thomas Manuel is so fucking funny on top of being an incredible writer

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win
