(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

We don’t want cost to be a blocker to attend TokioConf.

If you build with Tokio, we want you there.

For every full-price ticket purchased before the end of March, we’ll add another Community Access ticket so someone else in the community can attend.

Stock market tanking again today and oil *way* up. What's crazy is Trump could've just rode out the current regression to the mean on inflation, combined with an apparent productivity boom. Instead, did the opposite of econ 101: kicked out workers, reduced immigration, started wars of choice.

They say:

- the government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement
- the government should stop prioritising large multinational tech firms

I just wanna brag that I needed to scratch my neck, but I was writing an email, so I did it with my right hand while typing the word "secret". That's typed entirely with the left hand, so I didn't even break my stride. It was INCREDIBLY smooth. Please remember that I am extremely cool (also itchy)

We REALLY need the AI bubble to burst so OpenAI/Anthropic/Google have to start charging users a realistic price per query (which would nuke the spam problem *real* fast: spam only ever works in an ecosystem when the marginal cost to the spammer is nearly zero).

Best I have as a former editor is this.

Beyond Citadel on Steam Beyond Citadel is an anime style retro throwback shooter inspired by the classics of the 90's, with realistic gunplay mechanics, anime violence and fast paced combat. Fight your way through the heavil...

In my piece on it for PCG, I described Beyond Citadel as an FPS for perverts. The kind that want to be able to hold back the bolt on a sniper rifle and manually load in ammo, bypasing the magazine, and the kind curious what those very same .50 caliber rounds can do to barely-clad anime girl-flesh.

not only did haskell and rust release their survey results at the same time, they're also almost exactly the same amount of gay (10.59% vs 10.66%)

Cthulhu in foamed milk floating on a coffee cup

Having a writers coffee sesh and our coffee artist is knocking it out of the ball park (this was a request for Cthulhu):

New comic! Just in case you want a distraction from the whole World War III situation: nonadventures.com/2026/02/28/c...

We have enough worries in this world already.

Consider: if sin literally has mass, and “the weight of sin” isn’t simply a metaphor, how much could the average sin mass in electron volts before Christ taking all the sins of the world upon Himself creates a black hole?

PS: Worth calibrating on-- I was recently reading a book largely in defense of human art, which noted that caring about the human vs machine provenance of creation matters a lot more to people over 40 than people under 20. May change, but of course the change could go either way.

the fact that most American workers live in such precarity that they can’t afford to travel to other parts of the world and see how other people live is not a coincidence - it is part of this country’s very design.

For anyone who read this comic we DID get to the bottom of it. The answer was it was a racist pornographic drawing frequently xeroxed and otherwise duplicated in the 70s and 80s. Eyyyyyy www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-pa...

Haha, Elon Musk's AI company started 3 months after this comic was published www.smbc-comics.com/comic/artifi...

No he isn't! (I'm in the same boat, paddling furiously to keep the AI slop out.)

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

She strolls though cemeteries to read epitaphs. A headstone by a fresh grave reads, “Life begins at 40.”

She checks the dates; they passed just a week shy of their 40th birthday. In fact, today would’ve been the big day.

Just as she thinks this, a hand rises up from the earth and grabs her ankle.
