I must regretfully inform Will Shortz that he’s getting old like the rest of us and the youngest members of Gen Z are all at least teenagers now

The defining song of the Trump years for me is still this Aimee Mann song she put out a month before his first election youtu.be/qROQ0XYP4Ck?...

12/ DUNGEONS & DINGUSES Actual-play D&D podcast has spent 10 years on a campaign with so much accumulated lore that JRR Tolkien's eyes would glaze over, and with such poignant character moments that fans weep to remember them. Most of what you will hear in any given episode is fart and boner jokes.

I still find this hilarious and reason why bsky remains fundamentally unserious

OK but what if this is just Danielle Smith playing Nth dimensional chess trying to defuse the Alberta Separatists? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The tech interview I want to see is someone sitting down with Zuckerberg, opening Facebook, and just going down the algorithmic feed of fake news and shrimp Jesus slop post by post asking him to explain and justify each one

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

I would submit that this is not in fact a helpful use case for AI

It is deeply selfish to settle this case, as surely most of the AI copyright lawsuits are going to be settled. The fact that the vast majority of lawsuits in this country are settled before tech giants face any real or consequences is such a travesty www.wired.com/story/anthro...

This is why I’m still on Twitter

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Are there any other popstars with insane conspiracy subcommunities about them, or is Tay the only person still universally famous enough for that in this age of fractured pop culture?

The new Kathleen Edwards record is really good and I was not expecting there to be a Bean Dad shoutout in it. youtu.be/rVUzotyUG9Q?...

A COMMON NAME FOR THEM IS ACTUALLY "MOUSE MELONS"!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melothr...

My mom grew tiny cucumbers that look like watermelons sized for mice and now isn’t sure what to do with them all as they don’t actually taste that great

What are we even doing here? Who thinks this is OK and that this dumbass technology has any value outweighed by the inevitable results like this?

This is Order of the Ebon Hand erasure

This is obviously ghoulish at a Black Mirror level on the part of everyone involved, but I can't help feeling sorry for the parents who have been sold on using this service which I cannot imagine is actually helping them deal in a healthy way with the grief of losing their son.

UK users when the website asks them where they're posting from today.

Man, even the brocast community appears to be reading @shannonvallor.bsky.social 's book.

It's wild that this guy's constantly popping up to tell us all about the horrible problems he plans on causing for the world and he's somehow not universally treated as a villain.

I saw a license plate that said SMIG and my immediate thought was “South African Dave Lister”

Can we get a law like this in Canada please?

Winter and summer at Middlebrun Bay

This spider looking like it’s an OSHA officer dressed in hi-vis landed on my kindle, and when I looked it up it’s apparently not supposed to be in North America

This happened in the building where I used to work in my previous job 😬 www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/h... UPDATE: Police arrest suspect in hostage situation

If you say this then you are legally required to also pronounce the word "biographical" as "bi-ogg-rah-fickle"

I genuinely think the role of Meta specifically in driving loneliness is underrated. Facebook replaced existing ways of keeping up with friends with what was briefly a great product, then destroyed that product.

Well, shit

Saffron going stale in the back of my spice drawer like a health potion I’m “saving for a big boss fight” in an open-world RPG

I found an area of Google Maps street view in LA where the driver had the sunroof down and you can see what kind of licorice snacks he likes www.google.com/maps/@34.064...

I think I would have an easier time going vegetarian than going gluten-free

The lobby of my motel smells like delicious Indian food but I cannot locate any Indian restaurant within 100km on Google maps

the best crossword clues make say "OH MY GOD" in pure annoyance when you solve them, but then a few seconds later say "okay, that was actually pretty good"

We were *this close* to mass murder. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Tapping the sign yet again

my Kindle appears to have spontaneously deleted any books I had on it that weren't purchased from Amazon

The three kinds of posts

Working at the hospital this weekend

I am willing to handwave away a lot when reading SF/Fantasy but I had to go back a few chapters in the book I'm currently reading to verify that yes the author did just put the teradeath warcrime machine button in an unguarded cave within walking distance of public transit.

Has there been any further follow up on that German guy who got the COVID vaccine jab over 200 times? (and what do the every-who-got-the-shot-is-going-to-keel-over-dead-any-day-now conspiracy crowd make of him?)

In the first admin, I often fantasized about Trump being locked in a room until someone managed to explain how one thing actually worked to him, and he couldn't leave until he had demonstrated that he had in fact learned how that thing really worked and I always assumed everyone starved to death

Median Twitter user under the current regime:

Btw if anyone wants to stalk a pope on Duolingo, this account has the same email address as his Twitter, so it's probably legit: www.duolingo.com/profile/drpr...

You know you’ve really made it as a celeb when your wiki has a “use of name in scams” section

You're going to need to give me like, a solid year on this one.

the Revenge of the Sith theatrical re-release stuff is reminding me that I never actually saw that one in the theatre the first time around because I was too mad about the first two being so terrible, I wasn't gonna let George fool me thrice.

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake. Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong. For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

As a secular Canadian of vaguely culturally-Christian background, my most sacred Easter weekend tradition is that devilled eggs must be consumed at some point
