The neighbors won't think I'm crazy if I finally get my second prune of my lavender done using my headlamp right? Right?! 🤪

Tried planting my vines late this year and while I think I need to start a little earlier I finally got some zucchini so obviously I made zucchini bread.

"Effective August 1, 2026, the price of XBOX consoles will increase by US$100 for 512 GB models and US$150 for 1 TB models. We will be updating prices worldwide. We will also be sunsetting our 2 TB model." news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

It's criminal how difficult it is to replace sticks on an Xbox controller. Especially when the Switch is out here just using latch connectors.

Your regular reminder that the US had a pain-stakingly negotiated and workable deal with Iran when Trump came to power, but he tore it up. He's now desperately trying to secure a deal much worse than the one he set aside.

Marathon talks? Compared to what? It took years for Obama to deliver a detailed Iran deal. The Trump admin are packing it in after 20 hours. (H/T @bgrueskin.bsky.social)

Hassett: "Think about this. There are 360,000 fewer federal workers right now than there were when President Trump was inaugurated. That's 360,000 people whose salaries we don't have to pay and tax American citizens, and have you noticed a big reduction in government service because of this?"

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox, stylish as hell, neat puzzles, phenomenal world, not great mechanics and confusing/non-existent signposting. A solid 7/10.

OY. IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS GAME, FIX THAT. It's probably the best shooter campaigns I've ever played.
