I'm sure the strategy of scolding them will work this time!

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

Now comes with a button that says "Not weird at all"

The Must-Have Item in Silicon Valley Is a $178 Sweater With a CEO’s Face Leaders at companies from Nvidia to Palantir are now driving fashion, signaling a new era of the cult of the founder.

Since Palantir is asking "inclusion into what" my answer is: the American dream. People from anywhere can come here, work hard, and make a better life for themselves and their kids, regardless of creed or color.

I hope that clears things up for them.

Internet in Australia is rapidly becoming unusable without a VPN due to age verification. You need to verify your age to use some weather and calculator apps now. Scam apps and phishing sites are starting to realise they can just ask for your ID straight up and people will give it up. Insane shit.

I mean, I'm no Nostradamus, but I don't think a tax on second homes will be "the crescendo," or "loudest point."

Adrian Tchaikovsky is the science fiction writer you need to read right now And there's a good place to start

Why we need to read @aptshadow.bsky.social now!

Is there a term for someone who professes faith, but turns out to not understand what they're professing?

Look for the item about "people who stopped taking precautions when our countries and communities 'opened up again and are now rethinking how to protect themselves" and another from a first responder describing how (and why) year *seven* of Covid is like a slow-rolling mass casualty incident ⬇️

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61”

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

First day on the infrastructure team here at Bluesky, hooked up OpenClaw, it's giving me some great optimizations!

First day as an infrastructure engineer at Bluesky. They let me put a piece of bologna in the CD drive and nothing bad has happened so far

Also, the White House is blocked as a doordash delivery address. (You can manually enter the address, and I suppose if you work there, you know which security gate to drop the pin on.)

Shostack + Friends Blog > Adam reflects on BSides SF and RSAC Adam finally caught his breath and sat down to reflect on BSides SF and RSAC 2026.

Adam went to San Francisco for BSides SF and RSAC and immediately jumped into some projects after getting back (did you know we have upcoming open courses?).
He's finally had the chance to post his reflections on the conferences.

Finally read Bottom's Up And the Devil Laughs by @kerryhowley.bsky.social. Can't think of a time when I've read nonfiction writing so smart and inventive that even events/people I had thought I'd read about before, even ones I've reported and written about myself, felt 100% new. Incredible book.

Hey, is there a list of foreign governments that are allowed to fund US political institutions?

Asking for a friend.

Electoral College cartogram showing which states are in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and which ones could join in time for it to activate by 2028. Each state is sized and labeled according to its number of electoral votes. The states are spaced out enough to accommodate the changes in size but retain their general shapes and relative positions on the map. Current members are in solid orange, potential members are in light green, and nonmembers that are unlikely to join are in medium gray. Members have 222 electoral votes, potential states have 68, and the unlikely states have 248. The compact would only activate once states with at least 270 electoral votes have joined. The seven potential members and their electoral vote are Alaska (3), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (19), and Wisconsin (10). Democrats would need to gain the governor's office and/or legislative chambers to win unified power in these states, as detailed in the spreadsheet linked in this post.

NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate.

This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

What is "a source other than annual appropriations"?

That does seem like helpfully calibrating information.

What if I avoid food that comes in sealed pouches?* Should I try one anyway?

* Except if someone offers me a trip to the moon, in which case I shall adjust my expectations.

Is this like a pop-tart, but different?

When your brain’s gone too mushy to remember the word “turbulent” so you have to vomit a few hundred bits of word salad instead.
