It’s a start — the next step is to cancel that summer visit too.

100% same.

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

FAFO

Does @sjjphd.bsky.social know about her sloppelganger?

This is so many lawsuits waiting to happen.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Younger people: you cannot imagine how hopeful parts of the 1990s felt. The peaceful end of apartheid. Peace in N. Ireland. Wars that had been going on forever suddenly and apparently miraculously resolved. Also, computers!

And yet there were crazy people in Congress shooting at pumpkins, waiting.

In honor of Douglas Adams, March 11 should really just be March 42.

“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.”

Chaaaaaaarge!

An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

If you're a writing professional who'd rather *not* have random AI-generated articles attributed to you without your knowledge or approval, here's the opt-out email:

It's insufficient and tacky af, but it's a start. Go ye thereforth, etc. etc. etc.

Someone needs to confront Manfred with this. 🤣

Heck, throw a couple wild pitches and you could still have a perfect game and lose, right?

Yeah, I’d only consider that as like a Chromebook replacement for my kid. But the M4 MacBook Air’s pretty glorious (granted, for double the price of a Neo).

From education to creativity to social interaction, techbros keep inventing tech to skip things they find hard or dull, and are genuinely confused we don’t crave the same
liberation they do.

Don’t run aground, now.

"The 'great mystery' that the opening narration of TRAIN DREAMS gestures toward is, perhaps, love. Specifically, the kind of love that survives damage, guilt, and time—a love that forgives and persists without guarantees, that remains present even after the people who inspired it are gone."

This is 100% a BJ Blazkowicz headshot from Wolfenstein 3D.

A Beautiful Day for a Neighbor: Tom Noonan (1951-2026) A personal tribute to a great actor, a great friend, and a gentle giant of a man.

"I looked up, and up, and up, and up, until I saw Tom Noonan's face, looking down at me with a curious expression. 'What did you say your name was?' he asked." A remembrance of my friend Tom, lost too soon. www.rogerebert.com/mzs/a-beauti...

This is really wonderful — a must read, like everything MZS writes.

This is incredible (not surprising, she was an amazing wordsmith).

Treebeard wouldn’t approve.

The Prince of Darkness. 🙏🏻

Drive to Survive is great to learn about the personalities and teams, YouTube has plenty of explainer videos if you’re looking to get into more of the technology details.

F1 even had stuff like this back in the KERS days… it just mostly feels like graybeards bitching, tbh. (I don’t think the new regs are perfect but it’s a matter of refining little details, not the whole new system in general).

“Piracy is the most effective form of artistic distribution these days. So be it.”

-Werner Herzog on NPR just now 🔥

tbh I feel like a slight adjustment of the regulations are all that’s needed.
