It's a sobering one, but Happy Birthday all the same!

14 years. It gets easier, it never goes away. But sometimes you remember, and it feels good to carry them with you

Some people have misunderstood this.

We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible.

This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

The "we're not going to fix anything until June" TWID really got me, especially seeing the speed and amount of fixes and changes Marathon has been getting.

A comic. Emma is wearing a hospital gown in a nondescript white space. A voice says, “you’re so pretty.” She responds with irritation, “me? you must not have noticed my many flaws i'm actually large and awkward and lumpy and sweaty and i-” She is cut off mid-sentence by a corrective electric shock. “no,” says the voice. “i like your comics,” the voice says. Emma, who is still recovering from the shock, says without thinking, “you are so full of—“ before catching herself and amending to, “nnnice words,” but she can’t stop herself from adding, “but i genuinely can’t see my work as anything but trash and it makes me thínk less of you for liking—” She is cut off again by a shock. “no,” says the voice. The voice says, “you’re a good mom.” “Tha—“ says Emma, starting to contradict, before gritting her teeth and saying, “—ank you. That’s kind of you to say.” She holds her forced smile but flinches, anticipating another shock. Instead, the voice says, “you’re good at your job.” Emma, frustrated, yells, “what???” She quickly tries to add “a sweet thing to say,” but is cut off again by another shock.

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

One of the great myths of the internet is that everything is on the internet.

We all have consistently had the experience that if you search for something, no matter how obscure, you'll find it, usually pretty quickly.

However.

Are you a fan of the band BTS? You may have seen a teaser video last month for the band's new album, "Arirang," which shares its name with a beloved Korean folk song. The video alluded to the first recording ever made of that song, a nearly 130-year-old wax cylinder preserved here at the Library. 🧵

Y’ALL! This likely won’t last long but we had to memorialize the moment we took the #1 spot from an anti-abortion organization!

People guessing if you're knitting or crocheting has the same success rate as inserting a USB correctly on the first try

the just-released proposed White House budget for 2027 aims to cut $5.6 billion (about a quarter) from NASA, just as we’re getting livestreams from space of sweaty stripped-down astronauts. this is the Star Trek future I was shown as a child and I will fight for it 🇺🇸🫡

The children deserve a quality adaptation of one of the strongest anti-war YA series of our time!!!!

There are furry artists that are so skilled and talented that I’ll be like, “Wow, what a masterful command of form, texture, space, color, and light,” completely forgetting that I am, in fact, probably looking at the horniest thing anyone has ever seen in the history of mankind

Look body, I get it, I slept wrong. Which, if we're honest, is basically your fault anyway. Is there some reason I have to be sore for the *entire* day because of it? I just feel like you're overreacting here. I've been using my shoulders this whole time, they're *fine*, I promise.

Ok, lil heads up here for Telegram users:

Sounds like a 9.8 CVSS vulnerability in Telegram that may allows for zero-click remote code execution was discovered yesterday.

Very little info, but until we know more, disable automatic downloads on all your devices with TG installed.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an emo kid is sitting at the table in a casual restaurant with his family, who seem chipper and normal. He is staring intensely at another table. Panel 2: an emo girl is also sitting at a different table with her family, and staring back. Panel 3: their thought bubble connects to a shared dream where they are two badass wolf people madly in love, riding a motorcycle at night.
