The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

I'm willing to bet that you can guess. (The AI Con)

@zippy1981.bsky.social I found a Passover food that is more disgusting than jelly rings. But only SLIGHTLY more disgusting.

A box with locusts crawling on it. The box has a beige front and blue side. On the front, "Holy Locust" is written at the top, with "Whole Locusts" below it. One (or maybe more, I didn't look that closely) dead locust are in a glass tube inside the box.

My daughter was JUST looking at this.

It's a good read. It's sitting on my on-camera shelf.

Hi! The Onion and Bluesky are throwing a party at South By Southwest in Austin on Saturday. It's free and spots are limited, so sign up nowish.

We did this last year and only a handful of people died, so we're hoping to keep those numbers down once again!

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police.

Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

I just heard @leonadato.com pronounce it "Chat Jippity" and that's how it's pronounced now.

Please update your style-guides appropriately.

Latest Tucker Carlson conspiracy targets Chabad, sparking outrage The podcaster’s claim that the Hasidic sect seeks to start a ‘religious war’ also raised concerns of physical safety

Tucker is nothing more than a gutter antisemite, but the concept of *Chabad* of all groups trying to start a religious war is hilarious, like, the only thing they want to do is ask if you're Jewish and if you wanna put on tefillin jewishinsider.com/2026/03/tuck...

You know it's true.

but look how many lines of code i can spit out whilst i sleep using the billionaire-owned suicide-inducing planet-killing war machine

pls listen to yourself

Bluesky following notification telling me that Kat Cosgrove (@Kat.lol) is following me.

That's it folks. I've achieved peak BlueSky. Nothing else I do here will be as great as this moment.

Part 1/3 of an SMBC comic update. A police officer is leaning over a table, staring at an arrested man dressed in orange. The cop says "all right punk. Time to do a little good cop / bad cop." The man in orange replies that the cop isn't supposed to tell the prisoner when they do that, prompting the cop to insist that he is the BAD cop. The arrested man replies "bad means rulebreaking, not incompetent." The cop points at him in response, stating that he'll be the one asking questions.

Part 2/3 of an SMBC comic update. The arrested man, confused, says that he didn't ask a question. The cop then says "sounds like it's time to bring in the good cop." When the arrested man asks "what? why?" the cop replies that it doesn't matter because he forgot to get someone to do it because he's the bad cop.

Part 3/3 of an SMBC comic update. This is the final panel of the comic - both characters are silhouetted on a black background. The caption reads "three hours later..." and the arrested man is pleading and confessing, saying "OK I was the burglar just stop." The cop looks behind him, satisfied, saying "good ol' good cop / bad cop."

The other option is good cop, cop pretending to be a fish on the floor that keeps flopping around but won't die.

a tiny light brown dachshund is being held up by a human who is out of frame. they are at a beautiful snowy mountain range that looks straight out of a Pinterest photo. the dachshund pup, Frankie, is wearing a full body puffer jacket that matches her light brown fur perfectly.

This is Frankie. She just got a fancy new puffer and thinks she’s better than everyone now. And she is correct. 13/10 (IG: frankielasaucisse)

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

Casual antisemitism should not be implicitly endorsed - repeatedly - by a candidate running for the United States Senate. This is not hard.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of February!

A green-tinged AI-generated background of people in a NOC type environment. "Will I see YOU at RSAC 2026" is in large white letters at the top. "Let's talk telemetry at booth #N-6365 is in teal letters below that. "March 23-26, 2026 appears in white below that line. Then a map pin icon along with "MOSCONE CENTER | SAN FRANCISCO, CA" in orange. At the bottom are the logos for Cribl and the RSAC 2026 Conference.

Who's headed to #RSA?
If you are, come find me in booth 6353 to talk #monitoring, #observability, and #telemetry. (And to snag some of the coolest swag of the conference. Trust me on this one)

It me.

Nearly all of the Iranian internet has been down for 43+ hours but, as was the case with last month's shutdown, there is a tiny amount of traffic still getting passed.

Within the remaining traffic, we can see subsequent outages, possibly caused by continued US/IL airstrikes…🧵

Along with everything @rincewind.run says, I will remind the internet that any time Tom Holland's "Umbrella" lip-sync video comes up on your feed, you have to watch it.

I don't make the rules.

Always fun when I get a weird set of replies, and then I go look at their profile and they haven’t posted for an entire year but now they’re really concerned about a hyperspecific geopolitical issue and I’m like “oh, ok, you’re a state-sanctioned op, cool, lemme just mosey over to the block button”

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.
