Could you imagine if the media outlets had resources needed to fully investigate all the corruption going on (not just at Queen's Park)? Part of our mess is that we've been far too soft on politicians and agencies such as Metrolinx and IO.
today I was pooped on by a bird, then angrily cursed the sky and pointed to the chicken i was grilling. "you're next motherfucker"
Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts.
A trans woman enters the room.
Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts.
Fucking clowns.
AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS
AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING
WERE
BOTH

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Using facial recognition tech, the Knicks surveilled a trans woman, tracking her every move out of fear she'd show up on MSG's tv broadcast
And they can do it to any "enemy" of Jim Dolan, who's built his own deep state. From @noahshachtman.bsky.social & me @wired.com www.wired.com/story/madiso...
BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.
I'm desperately hoping they got @techconnectify.bsky.social on for that. And if they didn't, he should definitely guest on a future episode.
Anne Hathaway bought the rights to a novel about a tradwife influencer who wakes up in 1855 and has to actually live the life she's been selling online. The book is called Yesteryear. It came out 3 days ago. The film rights were already sold to Hathaway, who will produce and star.
Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.
"That creepy guy is here again," my boss hissed.
I looked to the pinball machine in corner. A lanky man in overalls and a soft hat was playing.
"You're making a fortune from the old coins he's using. But I'll have a word."
Later, I told my boss the guy worked as a ferryman. Why'd he get so pale?
unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?
Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Just checked and this is real - Scottish Labour’s manifesto refers to trans people using slurs and commits to a policy of explicit segregation in public life
Mayor Zohran Mamdani behind the counter of a bodega in The Bronx, flanked by various people. A journalist with a microphone labeled “Shop Cats” is standing in front of the sales counter, and holding the mic up to a black and white cat sitting on the counter next to bananas. The cat has an expression like in the famous “Sir, are you aware that you are a cat” meme
“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”
holy shit this is funny. the worst accounts on twitter are melting down rn
Genuinely feeling like Mamdani has finally figured out the thing the left has historically been The Worst at.
The left needs to:
(a) use government to do Good and Popular Things
Normal: [✓]
Mamdani: [✓]
(b) TELL PEOPLE VERY LOUDLY AND MEMORABLY EVERY TIME IT DOES
Normal: [ x ]
Mamdani: [✓]
The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.
The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.
We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.
I have seen one good example of this plate
Oh sure when an LLM hallucinates it’s “acceptable business practices” and “part of the future“ but when I take 5 grams of shrooms and I see teeth in the walls it’s “these are a felony“ and “banned for life from Olive Garden.”

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!
To all who celebrate
On this, the day of the Confederacy's surrender, remember that we should have hanged every last one of the bastards.
