I've seen some pretty funny "You're right to push back on this" jokes about Anthropic's stand against the DoD. Well done, Internet.

I discovered the band Heilung the other day. It's a kind of experimental ritual folk. It really speaks to the pre-Christianity European parts of my ancestry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=64CA...

I try not to post ragebait, but this one will get you going.

Men at Work, Ani DeFranco, Sarah McGaughlin, and Toad the Wet Sproket performing all within a week of one another in the PNW. Gotta get that empty nester Gen-X market!

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

The vibe of the Halftime Show

Variety confirms the wedding in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was real

Youtube seems to be shadow-banning the new Ren song. Hasn't shown up in my recommendations, despite subscribing, clicking the bell, and interacting with nearly everything Ren has put out. Anyway, check it out. It's great! youtu.be/MTn_bhTVr2U?...

Kupp is such a great guy. So down to earth and relatable. The Rams didn't deserve him!

"We did not care"—Mike Macdonald really channelling what the #Seahawks have always been about in their 50 seasons. His delivery is so damn good, too.

I finally updated to iOS 26. It looks like 💩

This guy’s YouTube channel is just insane. What a monster guitarist! youtu.be/reabaRml2rA?...

Oh no! Supernatural has abandoned their product! That’s so sad. It was a really cool app. I feel awful for their product team, which I assume are now looking for work.

Google is hyping Gemini 3’s giant context window, but I’m not seeing it. We were vibing, then hit a troubleshooting rabbit hole. When I tried to circle back, it totally forgot the earlier context and started hallucinating. I found the whole experience very disturbing. #google #ai #gemeni3

I’ve never watched The Voice, but I saw an audition clip first the first time a couple years ago, and when the celebrity judge hit that big red button that made the “BOOM” sound, my first assumption was that it was like The Gong Show. That’s how old and out of touch I am.

I've talked to two different friends who are first generation Venezuelan-American, and they both told me that their families and friends there are VERY EXCITED about Maduro being out. Neither of them voted for Trump, but seem to think that ANYTHING is better than the way things were. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

with all of the stories about the rise of solar energy we’ve seen in the last few months it kind of feels like America is doing regime change in order to secure the rights to billions of dollars in blockbuster gift cards

Café Rumba on N State in Bellingham: Sandwiches have absolutely no right to be this good!

It's crazy to me that the MacOS dictionary works roughly as good as it did in 1999. Siri is just as crappy as it was pre GPT 3. I'm picking on Apple, but this sort of failure to keep investing in incremental improvements to features seems endemic to Big Tech.

What’s your political affiliation? I’m pro-sans serif typefaces. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

I recently learned that residents of Michigan are called Michiganders. That would imply the female or gender-neutral term would be Michigeese. And children in the state would be Michigoslings.

No solar panels. Only measles

For kicks, I asked Claude about the updated CDC Webpage on the “links” between vaccines and autism. I can’t paste in the entire response, but here’s the summary: “This represents a dangerous undermining of public health based on politics rather than science.”

This may be Hank Green's greatest rant ever. Wikipedia is perhaps mankind's greatest achievements of all time.

Why are there 😻🙀 and 🤮 emojis, but not cat barf emoji? Has anyone in the Unicode Consortium actually ever owned a cat???

The Matrix (Buddhism with guns), Edge of Tomorrow (Groundhogs Day with Aliens), and Free Guy (The Truman Show but as a first-person shooter) are all terrific movies, but I hope this new scientific paper finally kills off this tired trope.

My favorite music production YT channel discusses ideas as entities with intent. I think it's very relevant for #gameaudio, #filmscoring, #sounddesign.

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

This is cool!

Pet Peave: Applications that run in the background when you're not using them—especially Electron apps, I've currently got like 15 applications in my taskbar and the only one that actually needs to be there is Dropbox. 🖕

[1/2] Look. I don't mind if you feel that deporting undocumented immigrants is what's best for this country. But we all have a responsibility to acknowledge their humanity and recognize that deportation is TRAGICALLY sad for the individual and their friends/families.

Late to the party, as usual, but I just discovered Hi Ren. Really creative and evocative. I recommend you find a time where you can spend the full 10 minutes watching it. CW: Mental Illness. youtu.be/s_nc1IVoMxc?...

I generally try to avoid posting about politics, but regardless of how you feel about climate change, doubling down on fossil fuels is terrible economic policy.

Goddamn dude

The Onion summarizing my composing career.

I love PV solar, because it's cheap, it efficiently scales down to residential, it works well with farms, and it works in cities. And it's going to keep getting cheaper and more efficient for at least another decade.

A #LongCOVID marker for cognitive impairment! 🧪

I'm a big fan of agrivoltaics. So many opportunities to help farmers and ranchers. And, it could be a quick way to scale up solar production using market mechanisms.

The Department of Energy has added these terms to its growing “list of words to avoid” because words are dangerous: climate change green decarbonization emissions energy transition sustainability sustainable clean energy dirty energy carbon footprint CO₂ footprint tax breaks tax credits subsidies

There's been a lot of discussion about how politics/social media algorithms/and mainstream media is dividing us as a nation and made our political discourse more aggressive. But, in my opinion, not enough talk about unprocessed grief/trauma from the pandemic has fed into that cycle.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Clean energy jobs grew three times faster than the rest of the economy last year. But growth slowed markedly compared to the previous year as clean tech firms braced for a shift in U.S. energy policy.

Jimmy, if this is a hostage situation and you've been told certain topics are off-limits, blink twice.

Tanner Porter's album, ONE WAS GLEAMING, is criminally-underrated. I highly recommend that you check it out.
