For real, if you've ever been considering reviewing / interviewing / etc. someone but stopped yourself because the book was released months ago... do it! We love getting coverage after pub day.

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...

I have no idea what I'm saving this picture for, but I know the day will come where it will serve as a response beyond perfection, expertly braised, with just the right amount of meme. And when that day comes, I will be so glad of the wisdom and forethought I exercised today.

some guy who won the Nobel for particle physics or something is going to get black bagged by an 11th grader named Bracen Walmart

Saw Flight with a law school buddy at the AMC Magic Johnson when it came out. During the scene where Denzel gets rid of all the liquor in his cabin, a guy in front of us, very audibly, lamented "NO, NOT THE HENNY!"

"No, it won't," real person with common sense, whose brain hasn't been rotted by an addiction to credit default swaps predicts.

WIRED is the Shams of US political reporting.

A minute into the new Clipse album

Amazon trying to limit AI-generated selfpub books and now YouTube with this. Are you telling me AI slop is bad for business? You saying the hypercharged mass production of uninteresting content absent creative human effort is bad for business? Heavens to Betsy! techcrunch.com/2025/07/09/y...

This was way too much fun. Thanks for having me.

activision put at least 60% of the entire western video game industry workforce on CoD so that they could make this

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

I'm not actually mad about the NYT Top 100 films list. You just gotta treat it like all those Top 5 Rappers Dead or Alive barbershop conversations and the NYT is the guy with the clippers too busy arguing on the phone to cut your hair. (Hunger was a better Steve McQueen film than 12 Years.)

"cured of the desire to watch any more episodes" We've strayed so far from God.

A few nights back, as a Guest of Honor at the Locus Awards, I was asked to give a speech, and chose the occasion to think out loud about a few things that've been on my mind: tochionyebuchi.substack.com/p/some-remar...

This story by @tochitruestory.bsky.social is, as far as I'm concerned, required reading for anyone thinking through the relationship between algorithms, society, and objectivity, and I was thrilled to have an excuse to recommend it!

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

10 years to get from "ethics in gaming journalism" to gov't forces assaulting and handcuffing an opposition politician is wild
