Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

Oh god

Not only is it worse than I imagined, it’s worse than I can imagine

I will never stop laughing about that thread by Jonny where someone in his comments is saying that he just needs to use better prompts and jonny is trying to get the guy to understand that the code he’s posting is the _Claude source code_

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity Great swathes of rock music since the nineteen-sixties would never have existed, we're sometimes told, were it not for the recordings of Robert Johnson. Certainly the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Cla...

Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...

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!

It's the Underpants Gnome plan, but the middle step is give control of your company to the AI bros and hope they don't bankrupt you or grab the valuable parts of your business and walk away to create a competitor leaving you with no workforce and no workflow. Bananapants all the way down. 6/6…

Definitely “don’t ask; your life will be much richer” territory

I think that means that the entire market for these guitars is you

They are entirely capable of reading the information-summary you wrote up, and coming to conclusions directly contradicted by that text

I misread that as Andrew Jackson, and it’s still plausible

That money was so annoying to manipulate

And was about as effective

If you don’t understand this post there may still be hope for you

Having looked at the replies, I’m now looking at obsidian and obsidian portal, and rarely sure which one other people are referring to

The git repository is still pretty likely, though.

My stuff: scattered in Mac/iPhone notes (not synced to each other), but mostly in my head

Player facing: Google Docs, mostly in the player-written game log

But next game… probably still Google Docs for player stuff, and a private git repository for my notes

Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps The "advanced flow" will be available before verification enforcement begins later this year.

It’s apparently still going to be possible, just a massive pain:

A weirdly ornate boob light

A drum shade with diffusion on the bottom also on the ceiling

They sell drop-in drum shade replacements for builder grade boob lights and it’s a huge upgrade just in terms of how it shapes the light without having to replace the entire fixture.

I’m going to write a 10,000 page reflection on life in this strange new world in which Google is no longer useful. To be entitled In Time of Lost Search.

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning..

We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance.

And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use!

My favourite unlikely theory about the marvel universe is that Galactus is actually Reed Richards. I'll admit, that's a big stretch.

Probably running Gemini

This is an extremely good article. You don't need to be a dev to understand that the cult of "shipping velocity" is churning out diabolically bad code that only a rapidly aging cohort of programmers (ahem) will be able to reverse engineer.

What Color Is That? No seriously, what color is that? I genuinely cannot tell. Aim your camera at a color — get its name, details, matches, plus colorblind palettes and simulation. Save colors with personal labels.

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here.

BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

One thing Moore’s really good at is mixing humor in to the darker material. “I did it thirty-five minutes ago”, “The night can make a man more brave…”, etc. These are genuinely funny bits

Maybe Judas was the one in charge of the meal budget, and pocketed most of it because he knew it was gonna be interrupted

Bang, Bang, Bang 😂

It's this little gem and it's not up for debate
