After the release of the Epstein files, why have there been so few arrests? Legal experts tell NPR five possible reasons that, despite the accusations made against rich and powerful people in the files, the DOJ have made no additional arrests. The big one? Lack of evidence.

Part 1 of 4

A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air. 

This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly.

Part 2 of 4

Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is.
Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek.

Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi.
 
Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there.

“Miss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?”

That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.

NYT delenda est, and honestly fuck him, he's a fascist collaborator. But still, we are not benefitted by personally ridiculing a non-elected official for their kink that was exposed to the entire world through what is still at the end of the day, revenge porn. Idk.

Recruiter just informed me the biggest problem he sees is filtering out the real candidates. So on top of having to deal with ATS, the roles are flooded with AI fake candidates. Fuck AI, man.

Portal comic. Currently Wheatley is on the mainframe and GLaDOS is a potato.
Wheatley: Look, for the record, I'm just saying that I THINK that within the next 2 years. AI will have replaced most major pollinators.
GLaDOS: ...Just keep pretending to ignore him, he'll probably...
The text on Chell's shirt: Agreed. We should ignore him.
GLaDOS: Are... you? Doing that? On purpose? With your shirt?
The shirt: No, I am the shirt. Please don't let the person wearing me know I can do this.

GLaDOS (to Chell): Hey, I need you to lift me up so I can get a good view of your upper torso. For... normal reasons.
Chell complies.
GLaDOS: Thanks.
The shirt: You really know how to talk to the ladies!
GLaDOS: Come on.
The shirt: Anyways. Want to know my deal? I'm the ghost of Cave Johnson. Told the lab boys to make me immortal. Didn't say how.
GLaDOS (shorting out in surprise): WHAT???
The shirt: Hahahaha. No I'm fucking with you.

Wheatley: Hah, are you finally gonna admit I'm right?
GLaDOS: No, I need you to look at the human's shirt. And tell me what it says.
Wheatley: ...That's a trick question innit.
GLaDOS: No, I actually want to know.
Wheatley: You're trying to make me stare at a woman's chest so I look sexist.
GLaDOS: I'm asking you an actual question.
Wheatley: I've never done it, ever. Don't even know what they have there. Never will, because I'm not sexist. Or maybe this is an advanced ploy to make it look like I can't read. I can, I mean I do, so much. Love books. Been reading the Odyssey. Not sure if you know that one, but I'm already on the part with his son...
GLaDOS: That's the start of the book.
Wheatley: SHUT UP!!!!! SHUT!!!! UP!!!!
Chell looks down at her shirt to see the text says "get ketchup on me for twenty extra points".

Panel 1: A park. A donut truck. A red-haired white woman sitting inside the donut truck, looking relaxed. The truck is Rolling Donuts, and there are three donuts painted under the worker window, a menu with prices, text near the bottom of the truck that reads "Tastes like magic!", a big Rolling Donuts logo with donuts for "O"s (clever!) and a message that says No Trans Fats! Only there's a tiny, near-illegible "or" between "trans" and "fats", because we all know how J.K. Rowling do.

Another white lady, this one blonde in t-shirt and jeans, walks up with a brown puppy on a leash. "Oh," she says, "Rolling Donuts!"

Panel 2: The blonde lady walks up to the woman in the truck window, smiling. "We used to have these all the time when I was a kid! I loved them!

Panel 3: The woman in the truck smiles. "Wonderful," she replies. "And now, as a bonus, $2 from every donut goes towards killing dogs!"

Panel 4: The truck lady's hand motion towards a a sign, which reads "Dogs are just fake wolves! I hate them SO much! Thank you for your support in their eradication!"

Panel 5: The blonde woman holds a hand to her mouth, shocked. "Killing?" she says.

The truck lady smiles, happy. "Yup!"

Panel 6: The blonde lady turns to face her dog, stricken. 

Panel 7: The dog looks up, wagging his tail and panting.

Panel 8: The dog, realizing what is coming, lowers his tail and puts his tongue back in his mouth.

Panel 9: The lady in the truck is holding 6 dozen donuts, in neon pink and blue and the Rolling Donut logo, with text across their sides that reads "We hate dogs!"

The blonde woman is looking back at her dogs, guilt on her face. 

"...but they're just SO yummy!" she says!

Sad trombone goes here. 

That's my comic!

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks.

Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

asmlinator just enough glue on top of KVM to get a VM with one CPU set up to execute `x86_64` instructions.

i got irritated at the ceremony to go from a freshly-created KVM to "can run x86-64 machine code like normal" so i've wrote a small library for exactly that: codeberg.org/iximeow/asml...

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing - Colonies surged 15-fold

A lab-made diet supercharged bee colonies and could help save our food supply.

Date:

March 27, 2026

Source:

University of Oxford

Summary:

Scientists have developed a breakthrough "superfood" for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled tri-als, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.

It is extremely important that you do not subscribe to or work with the New York Times. They are materially responsible for the rise of fascism in the US and their clear intention is to legitimize trans genocide.
