If you were in a hypothetical situation, what would you do?

How Field Notes went from side project to cult notebook Two decades after Aaron Draplin and Jim Coudal launched Field Notes, the analog notebook company is crushing it in the digital age.

This is absolutely deranged behavior by the White House official Twitter account.

Another Periodic Suggestion to Try, Just Try, Switching to Kagi for Search Paying for Kagi today feels a *lot* like paying for HBO back in the cable TV heyday.

Could not agree more with @gruber.foo here. Switch to @kagi.com. The quality gap between it and Google is widening over time. The very last monthly subscription I would give up. daringfireball.net/2025/04/try_...

Or we could change things so that financial aid goes directly to the college where you're enrolled, instead of going to your bank account first.

We have to stop saying that House Republicans want gut Medicaid and food stamps "to pay for tax cuts for the rich"

...because the one doesn't come close to paying for it. Saying it this way creates a false equivalence.

Google Keep is the best for this.

Any note can be made into a checklist, and I have one called "Shopping List". It's shared with my wife and kids.

Any of us can add or check things off, including by saying "Hey Google, add ______ to my shopping list" to the nest speaker in our kitchen.

Either Republican congressmen eventually come to their senses and impeach and convict, or the experiment is over.

Why am I so annoyed at "requesting to understand"?

if! I meant if!

I'm thinking of everyone in the comments of this blue sky post followed each other, we'd all have a pretty good starting point.

Maybe we should make a "replies sanely to @techconnectify.bsky.social posts" starter pack.

What a good idea.

Surely this reply won't cause me to make a *cough* technology connection with some new people on bluesky.

I think I'm starting to understand why the Silo builders gave Judicial a bunch of armed enforcers.

Ed Zitron selling his wares via iHeart? What's next? The Goldman Sachs Radio Hour, hosted by Bernie Sanders? Upton Sinclair brand hot dogs?

not to get all lib about it but sometimes it really feels like having a black dude as president was a worse trauma than 9/11 for about half the country and they’re taking decades to process it and dragging us all down with them

Algorithmic ranking is unfairly maligned Only some kinds are bad

Really enjoyed @dynomight.net's thoughts on the algorithms slowly ruining your life:

"I suspect the main reason they haven’t been solved is that we haven’t tried very hard. We should do that."

I just asked deepseek r1 a logic question and its chain of thought was 7,065 words long. I started laughing out loud as I watched it second-guess itself over and over.

Strange that it shows up (result #5) with Kagi. kagi.com/search?q=for...

I just heard the kids from down the hall getting home from school and one of them said "last one to the door is a rotten egg" and for some reason I can't quite pin down, I'm so glad kids still say that
