1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Roses are red. Life’s full of strife.

I was having a regular old, kinda shitty day. But then I drove by a guy on an old motorcycle with a sidecar, and in the sidecar was a German Shepard with goggles on. Now I’ve had a fantastic day.

IS RFK Jr. a Madball? I thought he was a Boglin.

Externally, I project professor of rum, but internally it’s all dark frazzled muppet.

So much of Trump’s worldview is explained by understanding that he has not learned a single new fact since 1993.

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog). This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

Elon Musk got so mad about the FAA's caution around his exploding rocket facility that he bribed Donald Trump to fire all the safety personnel there & now 60 people are dead.

PUBLIC LIBRARY IS METAL AF This silly idea has been in my head for years but I finally got around to making it this week. Available on a variety of shirt styles and colors on my threadless shop. danielsolis.threadless.com/designs/publ...

#tt Phil Collins was plagued by seasonal allergies. We know this from his famous tree pollen diss track - “I can feel it cumming in the air tonight.”

I think it would be a pretty cool feature if you did a simple find/replace to turn every instance of “Twitter” in a url to “X”. People definitely want that.

Why call them a Doomsday Prepper when there’s:

Tired of making shitty software? Fix it with a skill you've had inside you all along if you've ever played D&D: recognizing that the rules aren't helping, and doing something about it.

The royal family is trying to improve their popularity with Gen Z. That’s why they are trying to quietly replace Kate Middleton with Kate Bussindleton.

I don’t know if I have this for visual media, but I absolutely do for music. The 80s cheese power ballad. Just put together fretless bass, tinkly synths, echo guitars, and that Phil Collins gated reverb snare and you got something I want to listen to.
