Lafayette to terminate Flock contract early, remove cameras from city https://mrf.lu/2vszK

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Was looking at the Silent Hill Townfall concept art and my jaw dropped. Was back in my hometown tonight so I had to go and take a photo. There are many ways to mock my beloved Coatbridge, but “your home’s so miserable it was used as concept art for a Silent Hill game” is a new one for me

Sir Paul is wrong here. I don’t like the Beatles and would not feel compelled to sing along. There are dozens of us!

If I was a tech CEO who thought their product was near the height of a bubble, I might warn that our industry need to slow down, too.

Wut? WHAT? How... like... why... ... The Y Chromosone was a mistake.

Trump is so stuck in the '80s that he keeps trying the movie cliche of "we'll solve our problems by putting on a cool show!" Military parade, the "Great State Fair," a UFC fight at the White House, the Formula 1 race, etc. Except he's not the scrappy teen hero. He's the evil real estate developer.

Image has announced it will release the new Warren Ellis book GHOST DRIVE STATION, with no acknowledgment of its previous statements about the writer's sexual misconduct.

After pointing out that something was working as intended to a youth at work and that they were entering data wrong, I got a message back of “OMG bruh, sorry for wasting your time. Jesus” and I’ve never felt so old. I mean, I am old, but I’ve never felt it.

If you are a fan of comics, literature, or queerness, you should go listen to at least 500 episodes of this podcast that just wrapped up.

I’m having a crisis because a coworker responded to my email with “thanks…”. Why is there an ellipsis?! How am I supposed to take that?

Thinking about how Osprey, a publishing house almost entirely devoted to publishing military uniform/equipment fetish material disguised as dry but picture heavy non-fiction tomes, put out a book dismantling the right wing mythologization of Sparta with an absolute all-timer table of contents.

on this day in 1995, scientists discovered bisexuality. happy 31st birthday to all my fellow bs

@marketplace.org using the song “Brick” as a transition after talking about credit card debt is on the nose, but also funny as heck.

Guess who who just finished explaining the X-men

software has gotten continually worse over the past 20 years so we trained a robot to reproduce it at a scale you can't review

I finally got to witness the heron that lives nearby catch a fish. Feeling very lucky.

Elon Musk has the greatest job in the world. Just get blasted off your ass on ketamine, promise everyone interdimensional unicorn-based travel by 2027, and receive free money. why am I working like some kind of peasant

And the record for most bauble use in a pro Dota game goes to LGD. That’s… one way to win I guess?

I’m pretty lucky that I can still get goosebumps listening to music I like.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

I think maybe they are happy I’m back from vacation.

“You look like a Grimace” is low-key the best insult I’ve heard on Jeopardy

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

Just learned @theautopian.bsky.social is moving TO substack and I’m more than a bit disappointed.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet:

Dang, man. You have to screw up pretty bad for Ken Jennings to drag you publicly.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

Bagel was DEEPLY invested in splashdown. I, of course, was completely chill (I was NOT chill).

A) thankful we didn’t commit a genocide today. B) unhappy that man is still in power. C) Blucifer had a cameo in the Paradise season finale!

Inspired by the score of “The Last of Us Part II,” Frequent Flyers’ latest production, “Light vs. the Dark,” transforms a video game soundtrack into a narrative aerial performance opening April 3 at the Dairy Arts Center.

Saw an owl and a hawk having a turf war out the backdoor as the sun was setting. Feeling really grateful for being able to buy a house all those years ago.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

The state of our union is fluffy and fucking adorable.

The internet is like home video games: ubiquitous, everyone loves it, real consumer-driven demand. A.I. is the Power Glove or the Sega CD or that robot that came with the Nintendo.

Heard annually in my house: stop trying to make JIT happen, Ken Jennings. Heard for the first time in my house this year: JIT happens.

HEART COCKLES WARMED Librarian Ethel Rice was a coal miner's daughter. First in her family to go to college— at Western in Gunnison, where she worked for decades. Ethel died and gave >$1 million to her alma mater, which will soon give free tuition to any Gunnison Valley high schooler. Go Ethel.

We have to apologize daily for the lack of decent sunbeams to lay in. Soon, cats, it will be spring.

Probably good to live your life such that someone doesn’t say “I expected a more robust answer” while asking you a question.

This machine yub nubs fascists.

if you can afford to spend 30 seconds chatting and trying to look nonchalant as you fumble with a gas canister, perhaps you are not in a scenario where chemical weapons are warranted
