I guess my controversial opinion is that you can and should exercise control over media that your kids consume, explain to them why, and help them develop the critical thinking skills they need to make those evaluations on their own.

Video game nerds kept the secret for five years and it took streaming TV nerds three days to spoil it inescapably all over the internet.

With Revenge of the Sith back in theaters, it's time to dust off this relic of bygone times. https://www.aquick.org/blog/2005/05/19/lessons-learned-from-revenge-of-the-sith/index.html

The phrase "we're cooked" makes no sense. Cooked is good. Cooked food literally gave us civilization.

Ongoing tariff tensions between the U.S. and China have led to the creation of TikTok videos urging users to source products directly from Chinese factories and evade tariffs. @nytimes.com featured Graphika insights in a new article looking at the trend's rapid rise: graphika.com/posts/graphi...

I wrote a piece about my experience with taking GLP-1 drugs and weight loss. Hopefully this will offer some perspective about the effects of these drugs. I think it's extremely important to talk about this. https://fields.medium.com/what-its-like-to-take-glp-1-drugs-3ba059c6e5f4

Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

Oh, by the way, the government is dismantling the system that underpins every cybersecurity effort.

FFS can you all please learn what the government actually does for you before you vote to take it away.

WAIT WHAT? THE TARIFFS ARE ON HOLD? I JUST STARTED BUILDING MY FACTORY!!!

This is what tariffs do to small businesses. Say goodbye to the boardgame industry as it exists today. https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/cephalofair/gloomhaven/updates/20854

Nothing reaffirms my faith in humanity like the unattended luggage area on a long train ride.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Democratic leaders act like time travelers afraid to do anything that might change the future

The entire internet in a nutshell

Going to start a hotel chain called "We Have Good Water Pressure". Guess what the signature amenity will be.

Do you like it when you travel to another country where English is not the primary language but everything is labeled with signs in English anyway? Do you know why that is?

I would propose a constitutional amendment that no one in the federal government may play golf while a national emergency is declared.

What exactly is the job of "showrunner"? Like I get they run the show, but what are the day to day tasks they do and what are they responsible for? Writing? Directing? Editing? Yes?

What I really want to know now is who's up next after Booker is done speaking? This is a sustained team effort, not a one and done.

Ok so first of all yes

It's really amazing how many people have not yet realized how many things are entirely dependent on perception in some form or another to work. Opinions of other humans are … maybe not quite everything, but nearly everything.

The best revenge is when I say something to you and it gets tied indelibly to some future action so you always think of my words when doing that thing from now on.

I earned my shodan (first degree black belt) in karate over the weekend. Our dojo requires candidates for black belt to submit an essay regarding their philosophy of karate. I am honored to share it with you:

A great write-up on how basic science research works and is funded.

#Severance S2 finale spoilers ———————————— blip I found it very jarring when innie Mark said "you didn't bother to learn anything about us until you wanted something" *that's the entire point of severance, my good man* This entire conversation should have been framed completely differently.

Hear me out: Farscape TNG

My number one use case for a more intelligent phone assistant is "hey Siri, capitalize the words [X] and [Y] in the sentence I just wrote".

I bought this little handheld high speed blower and I've found that it's also super handy for drying things quickly. Like if I wash out a squeeze bottle and need to put something in it (e.g.: honey) that doesn't like water, it just takes a few seconds to blow out all of the moisture.

The biggest failure of ranked choice voting is that there are too many people who don't realize that they can leave some candidates unranked entirely if they don't like them. You DO NOT have to rank every candidate!

Me: "That is a psychopathic way to eat an egg" My wife: "well yes, they are all psychopaths"

Would you say that caramel popcorn is braised?

Graphika’s new ATLAS Highlights Report is out today, focusing on Global Hacktivist Threats. Included in the intelligence insights is a look at Dark Storm Team, which claimed responsibility for a global X outage allegedly caused by cyberattacks on March 10. See below to read the full report!

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Modern society relies so much on unsung experts being experts in their own thing and silently (for all intents and purposes) just keeping their thing humming along while most people are completely oblivious about why that's super important to maintaining their well-being. Until it goes away.
