An intentionally poorly edited screenshot of The Onion. 
Up top a picture of Bill DeBlasio with his head obscured by the Boeing logo. 
Below, the headline reads (edits in angle brackets): <Boeing:> ‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A <Aircraft> That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

All the world's developers are a toddler and X.509 is the neighbor's unfenced pool.

Debanking (and Debunking?) Crypto advocates kicked off a recent, somewhat politicized, discussion of debanking. Strap in for scintillating banking compliance trivia.

Patrick McKenzie has an excellent detailed writeup of the “debanking” conspiracy theory nonsense. Yep, it’s AML.

M dashes (the long dash) are a dead giveaway. LLMs love using them for some reason, while actual human beings have no idea how to type that into the computer.
They also love sets of three, overtly parallel structure, and impersonal writing.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD.

Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

In so many sharing or selection interfaces on my phone things change order just as my finger is hitting the screen. It’s infuriating!

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius.

It is 12:01. The tariffs are now officially in place and I think this video best sums up what American is doing to itself economically with this very, very stupid move.

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build:

1. Heroku, except hand-rolled
2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence
3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith
4. A solution to the halting problem

* Hyperbole. I hope

I don't ever want to hear or see another Leftist/anarchist/whatever motherfucker say another damn word about "burning it all down" after these last ten days.

THIS IS WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE.

As I turned the pages of Herzog’s book, and was shunted from one insane episode to the next, I was gripped by the tightening conviction that my own life was, by comparison, barely a life at all. I was not born into a country at war with the world. I have never been shot, or stabbed my own brother. I have never worked as an arena clown riding bullocks at a Mexican rodeo. I have never journeyed from Berlin to Paris on foot as a kind of magical-realist intervention to forestall the death of a beloved mentor. I have never cooked and eaten my own boot in fulfillment of a lost wager. I have never hauled a 320-ton steamship over a hill in the Amazon rainforest. I have never fallen into a crevasse while mountain climbing in Pakistan. I have never taken a trip to Plainfield,

Wisconsin, with the intention of digging up the corpse of Ed Gein’s mother. I have never been bitten on the face by a rat while delirious with dysentery in a garden shed in Egypt. I have never swapped my only good shoes for a bathtub filled with fish in order to feed a film crew in the Peruvian jungle. I have never even met—let alone threatened to murder as a means of extracting a powerful cinematic performance from—the dangerous madman Klaus Kinski. And more’s the pity, I have to say—on all counts, with perhaps the exception of the rat bite/dysentery scenario.

This paragraph from the NYRB's review of Werner Herzog's new memoir is REALLY something else
