I know on the scale of things this is pretty minor, but I'm kind of annoyed about Elon making a Shearling-lined Leather Bomber Jacket so lame.

Just saw a thing where someone was talking not just about copying and pasting *code* output from ChatGPT into a project, but also *shell commands.* So many people are going to mess up their computers SO BADLY.

I feel the need to remind people that this guy used to be a college professor. https://fortune.com/2025/05/20/duolingo-ai-teacher-schools-childcare/

One of the oddly great things about a puzzler like #BluePrince is that you can become *obsessed* with solving a puzzle, only for solving that puzzle to quickly be revealed as something that you have solved *way* too early. I have known what to do in the Labatory for a while. But I wasn't […]

Saw a bunch of copies of #Dragonheart at the #FLGS this weekend. Didn't grab a copy, as what I saw in the pre-release materials didn't particularly interest me, though I'm interested to see what Critical Role doing a direct competitor to D&D is going to do. It's a nice looking box set, and I'm […]

I don't know how many more times I can see "unalive" on social media before I start blocking people to protect my own sanity.

I can't help but look at the garage photos for this 1928 home that has recently been "rehabbed" (flipped) and think that the framing of the house itself probably looks pretty similar. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/516-Hall-St-Bow-NH-03304/113447875_zpid/

Blue Prince is SO GOOD. It has me keeping a physical notebook with mad man scribblings. I miss this in gaming. #VideoGames #BluePrince

According to this Interview with Miss Rachel and Medhi Hassan, the degree to which the story of her channel reminds me of Brigsby Bear is pretty hilarious. https://zeteo.com/p/exclusive-the-one-and-only-ms-rachel

I have to believe that SIGINT specialists at DOD are going to try their best to slow-roll the retrofit on this Qatari Jet, because actually scrubbing this thing of all of it's likely listening devices is functionally impossible.

This whole article about who can and can't detect AI writing is fascinating! The average person essentially does no better than chance, but a panel of 5 people who use AI for writing every day got only 1 in 300 wrong. The screenshot describes how they look at the […] [Original post on zirk.us]

We are wildly close to people getting abducted by masked men on the street and nobody being able to know if it was the State or random criminals doing the disappearing. Even the Cops won't be sure. #uspol

The Trump poster-person for the first Afrikaner #refugees from supposed anti-white racism in #SouthAfrica. She is not a #refugee by any definition, yet she is being flown here at #taxpayer expense & handed a path to #citizenship while actual refugees are turned […] [Original post on masto.ai]

Absolutely hilarious that the FT did a video with Sam Altman in his kitchen, just for one of the other editors to write an incredibly petty piece about how much this video demonstrates that Sam is a trend-following asshole. https://www.ft.com/content/b1804820-c74b-4d37-b112-1df882629541

First day in a week and half that it isn't raining, so I'm finally getting around to burning some brush. Five hours in and I still have way too much brush accumulated and much less arm hair. #landmaintenance

WTH Via Brad Moss: On what planet is a jet provided by a foreign government ever something that the U.S. Government would rely upon for the security of the President of the United States?

This article is wild. "UHC failed to account for how the apparent targeted assassination due to it's unethical business practices would prevent it from continuing said practices, thus they lied to investors." Somehow, this is even more heartless than the people who feel he had it coming. Good […]

Almost threw out my back rolling my eyes at this. Complete failure to grapple with the ample historical evidence of why cops might not be popular with marginalized communities in Chicago. Also, perhaps police culture itself contributes to mental illness among cops? www.thefp.com/p/chicago-po...

I am getting an unsettling number of ads about the 988 Suicide Prevention Hotline in my podcast feed right now. That's really bad.

I don't understand Electron. It's the ultimate expression of "the app should have been a web page" because THE APP IS LITERALLY A WEB PAGE.

Brace yourself, Pope Leo... Via Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he: - Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus - Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies - Retweeted twice about the Pope's health […]

It is a testament to how well thought out and edited Game Changer episodes on Dropout are that this screenshot makes any sense in context.

It's always so funny to me when I see people say "Google Translate" should be more than good enough to translate your app. Google uses Human Translators. Google Translate is great in a lot of ways. I have used it regularly when traveling. But it will not give you professional-looking […]

Probably the thing I understand the *least* about TikTok is that the platforms version of a Boost involves someone filming themselves in an inset and pointing awkwardly while someone talks about something.

This website of Pro-MAGA Businesses has an absolutely hilarious number of Realtor's on it. There are good realtors out there. If you're in Central NH and have a need, I know someone I trust. But a lot of the profession are total shit heads. https://www.publicsquare.com/marketplace

I haven't read this article, because I'm not about to subscribe to Fortune, but I'm confident that VC is one of the easiest "jobs" to automate away. https://fortune.com/article/mark-andreessen-venture-capitalism-ai-automation-a16z/

I just started reading John Scalzi's "Lock In" about a virus that causes a not insignificant amount of humanity to suffer a hugely life-altering set of side effects from the infection, and I have to think this book hits a lot different in 2025 than it did in 2014.

Went out to check on my swarm traps this morning, and the first one had a pair of Juvenile Black Bears going to town on it. Chewed up the box, ate all the wax out of the old brood frame I was using as bait. When I saw the trap was down, I first assumed that I must not have secured it well, but […]

The Selectmen of the Town where my son's daycare is has just voted to end it's curbside solid waste pickup and close it's local transfer station, because in last month's town meeting voters rejected the proposed town budget. This appears to have been partially driven by the town's solid waste […]

The same day that the NH Senate killed three bills designed to make Cannabis more accessible to Granite Staters, they are pushing forward a bill designed to allow Bar Patrons to pour their own Beer. I have worked in Bars. I can't imagine anyone who does actually wants patrons doing this. It'll […]

Had a non-white, fully-naturalized immigrant friend talk about being nervous about travelling out of the US later this year, and all I could say was "Yeah, I can see that." I mean, I then went on to talk about the ways in which he's not likely to be a primary target of any bullshit, but this is […]

Swarm Season is starting in the US. Here in New England, I'm probably putting out my Swarm Traps this weekend. An interesting project cropped up on Kickstarter to create a Swarm Reporting app that may be of interest to Beekeeprs, and others who spot swarms. Swarming is a natural part of the […]

Incredibly excited to see Jason Mantzoukas on #Taskmaster Season 19. But I have to wonder. Jason is kind of niche here in the States. Is he known to UK audiences?
