Several years ago I wrote something along the lines of chatbots being the worst UI possible ("the opposite if good", iirc). People didn't listen then and I doubt they'll listen today

Meta does not want you to know that you can improve the quality of these AI glasses by just microwaving them for one minute. Pass it on.

Die for the Omnissiah.

That is definitely one answer to the question.

Looking at https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/732341/trump-claims-that-declassified-documents-show-us-election-vulnerabilities it's worth noting that the Heritage Foundation wrote the Project 2025 plan, and they're also a founding affiliate of the Atlas Network. So a whole lot of badness all over that establishment.

Anyone looking to hire a principle (or senior) software developer? I have 15 years experience with a huge variety of web technologies (especially, but not limited to, node and frontend JS).

If I haven't worked with your particular stack, I will impress you with the speed at which I learn. I also excel at designing features and working with nontechnical folks - from ideation to plan to execution, "writing code" is only 25% of a dev's work.

Looking for a company (or at least team) that does not allow LLM coding tools - I do not slop, and I'm very tired of coworkers who do. #seattle or fully remote.

The State Department is convening governments around “political terrorism” while federal prosecutors criminalize solidarity at home. In Minnesota, worker assemblies and anti-ICE organizing are being cited as evidence of conspiracy.

“Antifa” has no membership list or fixed boundary.

That is why the label is useful to Stephen Miller: it can be stretched around anyone who resists raids, organizes a protest or supports the people being targeted.

Everyone is antifa now.

Argentina is in the World Cup finals on Sunday.

What do Messi, Maradona, neoliberalism, dictatorship, anarchism, and uprising have in common?
Why is the World Cup so important in the collective national consciousness of Argentina?
How are its deep footballing roots intertwined with the history of working class immigration and what was once the largest anarchist movement in the world?

Under the Digital Markets Act, tech gatekeepers like Apple can’t lock out competitors in order to lock in users. The General Court of the European Union just affirmed this in ruling against Apple: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/european-court-apple-can-not-shirk-its-interoperability-requirements

The economic terms of this merger make no sense for Paramount shareholders.

If Paramount’s news networks are watered down to appease the administration, the public stop tuning in and will be less informed.

Ranked-choice voting lets people support the candidate they actually want without worrying that they’re handing the election to the candidate they like least.

It is that a profession famous for its scepticism is admitting it is driving in the fog."

“Free” AI is being powered by coal plants kept online, new gas plants, water use, noise pollution and rising utility bills.

Dan Howells and Todd Larsen of Green America write about who is paying the real price.

Addendum:

If you find AI has utility for something, it's the "something" that you have found, not the "utility"

Even in the US a lot of people aren't going to CPAC any more. No wonder nobody showed up to "CPAC Great Britain."

You should treat wildfire smoke with AQI 200+ or so like you would treat a chemical accident—at the very least, do not go outside, do not open windows, wear a N95 mask (or better) and yes I mean wear a mask indoors.

It will permanently injure you and your loved ones to breathe that stuff in.
