OK but guys, Chrome still can't deal with Canadian spelling or postal codes
Next week, Google is putting an experimental satellite into orbit that is the first step towards building A.I. data centers in space. This technology is all still very speculative, but tech leaders are increasingly adamant that this is the future of compute. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/t...

Hard agree. The best cities I’ve lived in have been full of all different kinds of people. Places that are overwhelmingly single culture can be nice to visit but I think I’d eventually succumb to utter boredom living there.
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

All the panics & long features about political correctness & “free speech” on college campuses - with real buy in from centrist pundits at prestigious mags - was always a ruse for this: right-wing control over universities
Linda McMahon on Columbia settlement: "This is a monumental victory for conservatives who wanted to do things on these elite campuses for a long time because we had such far left-leaning professors."

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Another one for the “economic concerns as a mask for cultural concerns” file. This delusion that manufacturing jobs will come roaring back if we cast the right policy spell isn’t really about that being a desirable economic goal, but about romanticizing Manly Work.
The worst part of this is that even if manufacturing jobs came back because of this (they won’t) and even if Americans retooled for those jobs (they won’t) those jobs sucked! It’s like demanding to return to being a farming society. People fled that life the instant they could, in the millions!
