"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next."

this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good

If you ever accidentally double the butter in a cake recipe highly recommend baking it anyway. It looks tragic but the taste is off the charts delicious

the most important state election of early 2026 is right around the corner… though you’d never know it by the attention it’s receiving.

here’s hoping this bolts article helps jumpstart a little more chat!

I think about this all the time. And for faculty in good jobs it still has some of that β€” I do enjoy knowledge making. But those are so so few and everywhere else the academe is indentured labor to a loan shark.

English National Opera has gone for the high road overall but the hugs and kisses sign off is a nice touch.

TC said in an interview with Matthew McConaughey that he wouldn’t want to be a ballet dancer or opera singer β€œkeeping this thing alive” even though no one cares anymore.

500+ years of artistry fueled clapback skills have since proceeded to show themselves to great advantage.

Watching the classical performance internet drag Timothee Calamity to hell and back is incredibly entertaining.

If I were a dude who only recently added a fourth facial expression to my acting rep I simply would not come for the best in the business but that’s me.

β€˜Treat us fairly’: skilled workers face having their dream of settling in UK snatched away As government mulls doubling requirement to 10 years, the uncertainty is putting many who came to Britain to work under strain

People explain the real impact of politically-motivated changes to the settlement rules on their lives, the Home Office responds with "We make no apology ..." IME people in power who use the "no apology" formula know full well that they are doing something very wrong

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

The very first thing is that people need to look at the fact that for yearssssss Jews have been saying there is antisemitism on the left and for yearssssss we’ve been told that’s *impossible* and we’re lying.

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

No exaggeration, the vote split on this poll is hysterical.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

THEY ARRESTED HIM AT SANDRIGHAM (like yes I know that’s where he lives but that’s a Royal Place so for them to go get him THERE or at all honestly they must have their evidence locked down)

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
