Between PHPmageddon, the Indian TLS issue, and now the Node.js problems, it's beginning to feel like When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth may end up being @doctorow.pluralistic.net's most prescient short form work. Or maybe we end up getting @timmaughan.bsky.social's Infinite Detail as a 'lil treat.

wow, I can't believe Eric Schmidt would engage with a woman or her work without consent or in a coercive way
Really wild......former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has published a piece in @foreignaffairs.com that seems to be mostly a ripoff of @karenhao.bsky.social book 'Empire of AI'.....the title of the articles 'Empires of AI' Karen's work isn't cited or mentioned at all?? archive.ph/jvf4s

Future me, writing of our Doom: The rivers are dry and we burned all the fossil fuels, leaving us a climate ravaged hellscape with no cultural or economic opportunity. But for a brief, shining moment we got to see Boba Fett throw Grogu for a touchdown with Obi-Wan calling the game. It was glorious.

It'd be brilliant to just schedule a screen as The Beatles Movie, and then randomly show one of the four films at each showing so you'd never know which one you were going to get.
Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)
Yeah, we've got ourselves a Quadrant IV situation here. Ugh. crossquadrantbulletin.tumblr.com/spottersguide cc @cekent.bsky.social
It is… really really annoying that they made the Microsoft copilot ad with the pizza place LOOK like "AI" slop outputs. Like… they copied the lighting, coloration, shaping, and weird soft roundness of "AI" generated images ON PURPOSE. Ugh.

FBI Director Kash Patel wants a one-year fixed price “sole source contract" with the UFC "to provide defense tactical technical training to special agents." This isn't going to end well. govtribe.com/file/governm...
Fellas, is reading Hemingway gay?
"If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership?" This is very much in the Platnerian mode that presumes all men are only attracted to content by, for, and possibly about Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor. jacobin.com/2026/10/lone...
