“snatch-and-grab”? Hello, editors?

This is absolutely correct.

Once again, it’s so nice that my representative in Congress gets it. Sadly, that’s not something everyone in this country can say.

In the annals of our beloved police detective movies and shows, there are many great cliches from the “rogue cop and his weary chief” relationship. One is “I’m taking you off the case!” Another is “I’ll need your gun and your badge!” An underrated one is “You’ve got 48 hours!”

‘Old Man in Flip Flops’: Notes from a Surprisingly Exciting Water Tasting Class Camper English’s popular water tasting course is an exercise in attention — even for us tap-lovin’ plebes.

good morning! I’m interrupting your doomscrolling session with a joyful account of, of all things, a water tasting and appreciation class in San Francisco www.coyotemedia.org/san-francisc...

Imagine a Congress whose members took seriously their oaths to preserve the constitution's separation of powers. If a president exercised Congressional power without permission, such members would, out of sheer constitutional obligation if nothing else, immediately remove that president from office.

Although I have to say the latest custom in restaurant service replies is "Absolutely!"

An alarmingly nice day in San Francisco (over 70°F) — here looking across the Bay toward Oakland, with Chase Center visible off to the left.

Gives me chills just thinking about it!

Seriously, the pharmaceutical industry has a little machine that just auto-generates random (trademark-free) medication names, right?

the leading in that fake headline though

Maybe this is good news, but I regret I live in a world where I have to read “Boehringer Ingelheim's zongertinib”.

I think it kinda jumped the shark when the "you have to save this file as a copy" message showed up in the Save dialog.

I'd wager the Save a Copy option is there because originally some user requested it. I've come to appreciate it and have used it occasionally, but I agree these days the file-saving UX is more confusing and messy than ever.

Okay great but what about people who identify typefaces??

Thank you. My wife and I recite this phrase to each other all the time. 😂

BOOGIE NIGHTS - Deleted Scene - Adult Awards YouTube video by Scott Mumford

I rewatched Boogie Nights last night, then had a look at the deleted scenes on my old DVD. While I almost always understand why even very good scenes are cut, I wish this one had been left in. It does such a nice job of quickly summarizing all the characters right before the film’s big shift.

From Wikipedia: ‘The Golden Rule is stated positively numerous times in the Old Testament: [...] Or, in Leviticus 19:34: "The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the native-born among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."’

How are we not throwing Leviticus 19:34 up in Republicans’ faces every day? (Also, implied mic drop at the end there.)

Three bottles: Old Potrero 18th Century Style Spirit (51.2% ABV) “For sale in California only”; Genevieve Genever Style Gin (47.3% ABV); Old Potrero Single Malt Straight Rye Whiskey (123.14% ABV).

Sizing up my Anchor Distilling bottles this afternoon (and mixing an Old Fashioned). The rye is 123% ABV and packs a punch.

Sad to see Paul Brainerd has passed. Amazing career in business and environmental advocacy. Without him, I’d have had no career! I met him a few times in the early Internet days. www.geekwire.com/2026/pagemak...

It would be helpful if Bluesky could pin to the top of everyone’s feed: “This would lead to scandal and impeachment in any other presidential administration.” Could save everyone a lot of time to post other things.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

One thing AI has revealed is that there are a whole lot of people who have neither interesting ideas nor the talent to express them, and apparently not even any real will or desire to cultvate either of these things… but still for some reason desperately want to be regarded as artists.

My college major was Art History, following a pretty serious immersion in my last two years in high school. I felt like I was learning everything about history, religion, politics, culture (and art). It’s not the only way to learn about the world, but it’s one very good way.

Another AI bot scraping event causing my nonprofit’s digital archive to fail. I am so angry at this industry and its complete abdication of any responsibility to the internet community from which it draws its value.

From Yale's copy

Feb. 15, 1926: A Gutenberg Bible is sold for $106,000 to Philadelphia book dealer A.S.W. Rosenbach, the highest price ever paid for a book at auction. The 15th-century masterwork in two volumes will be sold again later this year and donated to Yale's Beinecke Library.
