We felt this one. Close enough to be a very sharp jolt. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Sorry chatbot lovers but the waning of Boolean operators in most search functions on websites has made my life actively worse. You can't find anything, you can only have things suggested to you.

The easiest way to make beer is to pour root beer into a square glass.

Personally I prefer the phrase "friends with benefits" but I guess there's less ambiguity here

Impossible to put into words how useless Gmail search is. No wait, these guys did it!

i didn’t think it was physically possible, but there’s finally something worse than `curl | sh`

You can kill a French vampire with a baguette. It's a painstaking process but it works.

Cecilia Vega, the first 60 Minutes Latina correspondent, was fired today, along with some of her colleagues, as Bari Weiss overhauls the news magazine. She has released this statement:

When the camera has to zoom out for the full explosion, that's bad, right?

🚨 book alert: the new Murderbot has dropped!

Okay, so, years ago I was chatting with my writer's group and we all agreed that we would really like a sequel to LABYRINTH. "But who is out there with the same androgynous sex god energy as David Bowie?" I asked. "Janelle Monae," @kellybarnhill.bsky.social said. So yeah that's my pick.

Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

I, for one, would enjoy a government which is not quite so repugnant.

We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production. you have until March 23rd to comment. i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/

They've been so deviously good about this sort of thing for so long that I almost feel bad drawing attention to it. It feels like the guerilla cable TV hacking of the '70s and '80s

Yeah, this is a new low point...

The NY Times dutifully reporting that the Supreme Court sided with Trump only 42% of the time and with Biden 54% of the time sort of leaves out the necessary context that Biden was doing normal, completely legal presidential stuff, and Trump was doing insane crimes

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU "IRREGARDLESS"

Normally not a fan of cute names for bills but there are exceptions to every rule

LOL I was amused by this yellow sticker. I guess they had too many clueless customers complaining about their new toys breaking.

In magic (as in software) true names have power, and getting a demon's name wrong can be deadly—or it was, before Gandalf the GUID assigned them all unique 128-bit identifiers.

reminds me of a friend who explained why recent years have felt so weird to so many millennials here and it’s because “we went into the pandemic young people and came out of it old”

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Trump has decided to exempt coal used in steelmaking from Clean Air Act rules for the next two years. He issued a proclamation allowing coke oven facilities to sidestep existing limits on toxic emissions including mercury, formaldehyde, soot, and dioxins.

The horror, the horror …!

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Immigration is good. It's not "not bad", it's actually "very good". It's moral, ethical, and good for a country's culture, economy, cuisine, security, and stability. The US needs more. Every country in the EU needs more. Anti-immigrant politics and policies are slowly killing entire countries.

Enjoy the last day before tomorrow. Then four years…

In 1970, unemployment was super low (3.5%) and minimum wage jobs paid $14 an hr in today's money. Today, unemployment is also super low (3.6%), but minimum wage jobs only pay ~$7.25 an hr. People aren't faking when they say they're struggling.

Good morning
