My grunge band Space Trash (lots of garbage) is playing a Halloween show at the Underground Music Cafe in Minneapolis on Oct 30. We'll be playing along side a B52s cover band and a 311 cover band. This will probably be the last Space Trash show of the year, so get your tickets today!

Mars is pounded with radiation that will kill any Earth life. Maybe, one day, we’ll be able to craft shielding for small basis. Maybe. But then you have the problems of food and micro-gravity and so many others. At best, the quality of life will be that of living on a base in Antarctica.

It's well past time to start breaking up the media conglomerates. Overly concentrated markets are unhealthy, politically, socially and economically.

They should bring back media concentration laws.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Can't understand why the PHP maintainers scheduled a security update about a vulnerability that was leaked and then was actively being exploited I'm pretty sure as one of the biggest technologies in the web, you could've you know, released a patch quickly

What a good day to not use the ancient language called PHP

I'm having a hard time moving on from this story. Hurts could have died just because his team was more interested in winning a regular season game.

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

If you spend any time on r/synthesizers or watch a lot of synth videos on YouTube, you’ve probably noticed the explosion of custom firmware for hardware synthesizers, samplers, and grooveboxes. What unites many of them is that they were made possible by increasingly sophisticated vibe-coding tools.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

POWERFUL! Houston dad Dorian Ojemen became the first father in Texas to use a wearable incubator to hold his premature baby skin-to-skin. This is what scientific innovation can do — give a father the precious opportunity to bond with his babies, even in the NICU!

@philplait.bsky.social This article (www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/s...), makes a claim about super earths around K-Dwarfs that I don't think sticks. Namely, the worlds they describe are almost certainly tidally locked within a few Gyr. That makes the photosynthesis and time horizon arguments moot?

🇺🇸 I see it’s the Navy’s 251st birthday today. As a former sailor, I am calling for its gutless leadership to start taking better care of their sailors by standing up for them and against the lawless Pentagon that doesn’t give a damn about them or our country.

When I was in college in Maine, I went to the Alaska airlines counter in San Diego. SAN did not have direct east coast flights in this era. My routing was SAN-LAX-DEN-EWR-PWM. My first leg (SAN-LAX) was on Alaska. The Alaska woman says, "You're going to Portland? This flight is going to Portland."

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Trump breaks the law and then tries to go after the people impacted by his lawlessness.

Breaking News: The Justice Department is investigating whether major TV networks violated federal antitrust laws when they briefly suspended pool coverage of President Trump, according to people with knowledge of the department’s action.
