I need a game changer episode that’s just four contestants tasked with playing Magic the Gathering but, in the spirit of the show, they do not know any of the rules and nobody tells them.

We’re holding a live launch event on April 21 at 10:30am PT where we’ll be showing what we’ve been building.
Donald Trump, Jesus, and a doctor walk into a restaurant, and the MAGA maitre d' says, "table for one?"
I guess impersonating a doctor is not quite AS bad, but at that point you're splitting hairs.
"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"
first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

"Eighty-five countries have sought a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels. A conference this month offers hope they could unite," write Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope of @coveringclimatenow.org
This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.
Canadian humour has its own DNA, and it's about time someone broke it all down.
To figure out how to boost student voting, colleges have relied on a study about campus voter registration and turnout rates. A Trump administration investigation has cut schools off from new data. n.pr/3OrRHPJ

What a great time to be cancelling energy projects to reinvest in fossil fuels.
The risky lending business has been booming, but now its problems are becoming increasingly visible on Wall Street and beyond.
When your big plan to “own the libs” ends with airports warning they might shut down, maybe the problem isn’t the libs.
Started a little blog for behind the scenes on The Consensus.
Here's how The Consensus beats LWN for data size transferred (and how LWN could in turn improve their own transfer sizes and beat The Consensus).

Researchers disclose vulnerabilities in IP KVMs from four manufacturers #devopsish
This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
Trump’s shoe test borders on humiliation ritual. They appear much too big on most of the recipients, and with their pants hemmed to match the president’s absurdly short length, it’s comical. One might assume that Trump purchases the incorrect sizes on purpose. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/who-...
With growing interest in mining critical metals from the seafloor, countries are now negotiating international rules. The Trump administration is forging ahead on its own, speeding up environmental review for mining the fragile ecosystem.

This is so real #scale23x
Posting about Alex Garnett's talk about AT Protocol with the AT Protocol is the right level of meta to spark my joy. #scale23x
If you're here at #scale23x I have a selection of 3D printed CHAOSS earrings, so find me to get a pair! I also have a talk tomorrow at 11am. All of the details and the slides can be found here: www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/23x/pr...
Irony is dead

This is an action aimed at 300 people.
This just highlights how vulnerable the transgender community really is—and how monstrous these policies attacking them really are.
It’s exactly how the Nazis targeted Jews. Exactly.
A US-based company has never been declared a supply chain risk. The decision by the Pentagon to use this tactic against Anthropic will almost certainly end up in court: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/u...
Hate to tell you, but part of the reasons they thought it was the data: ad revenue on Web 2.0 news sites had a distinct red tint.
South Korean leadership and judiciary puts ours to shame. Bravo to their commensurate response to an attempted coup.
NEW: Jonathon Redondo-Rosales, a 36-year-old LA protester, spent six months in jail accused of assaulting a federal officer with a *cloth hat.*
A judge tossed out the DOJ’s case, accusing govt of acting in “bad faith” and engaging in “prosecutorial harassment“ that could “chill lawful protest”
404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts
