This section of the FIAT Topolino FAQ made me giggle.

For today's final installment of Keeper BTS, here is an early exploration showing how focused light could affect the environment, mostly the work of @floatvoid.com

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

It's been truly depressing to watch the gutting of SciAm--and of course, terrible to watch so many great journalists (and friends) lose their jobs amid the meltdown.

Ugh I HATE THIS. I loved Mass Effect, I know Bioware has been gutted long before this shutdown, but it still sucks.

I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in California in time for this election. You can still vote provisional if you sign up late, but if you want to be sure, check your status here: voterstatus.sos.ca.gov

This animated short is so dang cute and I wasn’t crying, it was just something in my eye.

a tender dram for the kind brother

This is a really thoughtful thread about the Linux kernel and why the LLM decision is a symptom of some existential issues in the FOSS community cosocial.ca/@mhoye/11743... I am too basic for Mastadon, so I figure it deserves to be boosted on the OTHER unpopular social network.

No one asked the Oakland Review of Books to make a voting guide, and we made one anyway. Today we start off with the ballot propositions and the regional transit measure: www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/orbs-totally...

A fascinating sequel, by my editors:

The passive voice is very funny here, I’m betting “he was told” by Rupert Murdoch.

The Las Vegas Strip turned into a river over the weekend as Tropical Storm Rachel dumped 1.08 inches of rain on the city in a single day, tying an October record that had stood since 1947. Footage captured Sunday by Paul Contino shows the apocalyptic scene, with floodwaters rising above his knees.

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice

There is another tropical system set to impact the West Coast. Tropical Storm #Rachel will be approaching southern California later this weekend. Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for southern California. Get the latest at hurricanes.gov and weather.gov.

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

I’ve never been tempted to join any of the betting sites, but I would put good money on this being a lie if the Democrats win the senate.

After months of withstanding inhumane treatment and retaliation from ICE guards, Martín Soto, who fled from Peru to find a new life for his family was finally released from Delaney Hall ICE prison on October 6th, 2026. Soto and his wife, who met each other at age 19, never gave up hope on the fight.

New post at Strength In Numbers today with a fresh take on whether the polls are overstating support for Democrats or Republicans. I use a measure of respondent engagement to proxy non-response and simulate potential bias. Error could be quite large www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-10-06...

NORCO is $5 on Steam until Thursday October 8th.

Oh jeez. Oh no.
