Speedo season incoming! 🏖️

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

"In any event, I presume what Altman actually did was hire a nanny."

A screenshot from the DuckDuckGo settings page: Search Settings -> AI Features Duck.ai Duck.ai lets you have anonymous conversations with 3rd-party AI chat models, including models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. Turning this setting off will hide Duck.ai buttons and links on DuckDuckGo Search. However, you can still access Duck.ai when this setting is off by visiting https://duck.ai directly. Button: Off

I don't love that it's on be default, but you can turn it off in settings, too. I never see it:

I switched to DuckDuckGo (which uses Bing as its web search backend) a few years ago, and I found the same thing: the results are just as good, and you really don't miss all the bullshit. It's like you can breathe again.

I think it’s good and appropriate that the media harangued Obama about “like your doctor keep your doctor,” a mostly true statement, while they give Trump a total pass on “I ended 8 wars.”

Those Reaganites were all anti-regulation until their porn watching habits leaked. A better life is possible through the power of regulation!

Again: the gun you keep in the home for “protection” increases your risk of homicide by 3-fold, of suicide by 5-fold, and for men, risk of suicide more than 10-fold

The second you bring a gun into the home you’ve dramatically increased the risk of death for your family 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

They sold the name, along with literally the entire company except the stock symbol.

And even pumped up 300% or whatever, it’s worth less than it was a year ago.

It’s all still quite stupid, but we aren’t talking about enormous sums of money here, in the grand scheme of finance.

A frequency distribution of star ratings on Letterboxd, in which 2-and-a-half stars is very much not the average rating

Meanwhile, my profile....

Warning: I unexpectedly broke down in tears during my lunch break over this video.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

A significant part of the Christian Right liked the pope cosplay, because it clowns on the papacy.

From one old man to another: your quads are insane! 😍

38 doesn’t look too bad on me, I hope!

I wonder if JD Vance regrets killing Pope Francis now that Pope Chicago is in charge

Thank you for not hijacking Ctrl + F!

Since we're embracing Vim keybindings with slash-as-search, I think j/k as up a post/down a post would be nice. And as the web app accumulates keyboard shortcuts, a cheat sheet would be nice when you press the ? key.

Best of 2026, ranked Only my favorite movies I've seen from 2026, ranked in order of personal preference 1: Project Hail Mary (end of list)

Uh... It has not been an auspicious start to the year of new releases. (I've seen lots of great stuff from other years to compensate)

I think it does *explain* why Soderbergh is experimenting with it, but it doesn't *excuse* it. It's a technology built entirely on unpaid labor from the very workers it continues to exploit and undermine.

That's a very weird message; one that includes a comma splice that one would not normally associate with one of the four most valuable companies in the world—except maybe Microsoft.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”

After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price.
 
Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and Impeachment.

Conservatives will literally murder-suicide on a global scale than be nice to trans people one day a year.

Literally a death cult.

Oh ya? 30 years?? Oh, you betcha!

She has risen, indeed!

"No moderation" doesn't even make sense coming from Mastodon, where administrators' choices for moderation across instances are to do nothing or cut off all ties to the entire server. Community stewardship there is impossible.

the day i give a shit if someone blocks me or care about engagement is the day I log off forever

When the Lord destroyed the Tower of Babel (i.e., ancient social media), the peoples of the world scattered into smaller clusters, unable to comprehend each other (i.e., go viral). Thus began eons of discord (i.e., Discord).

The single most important thing that has to happen is criminal, civil, and/or professional consequences (whichever their behavior warrants) for everyone who has participated in the horror show we've been watching for over a year now

So for most of the article, it sounds like the version streaming will be the pared-back R-rated version, but then halfway through, it says that the PVOD release is the Unrated cut (and the Apple TV apps says "UNRATED", where it would otherwise say "R"), so... they didn't cut stuff for home release?
