There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Huge @deckedout.bsky.social milestone! @mtgnerdgirl.bsky.social and @veggiewagon.bsky.social are so good at this. For over three years I've seen them push hard every day to make a product we can be proud of. Thanks to them, and to everyone else who supported the show, for making this happen.

Mengu got hit by the "copyright claim" phishing attempt today, though he was able to keep his twitter account. You can see an example of it from this post on threads. The domain the email comes from is incorrect 🚩, and it has some language issues, but the following page is more passable.

In a complicated game, it's easy to forget what your tokens represent. Let Vreenak help. Also I'm sorry, I rewatched the original and had to do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gkt...

I always knew the Ruy Lopez was better than the French Defense.

Really the only question I have about the Star Trek set is whether Wizards had the courage to give us this Picard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg_c... Because, I've seen everything. I've seen it all.

"You can only challenge the racial gerrymander if you preserve the partisan gerrymander that was the reason for the racial gerrymander" is tortured logic befitting Redemption or Jim Crow. The court effectively deemed the VRA and the 15th Amendment unconstitutional while pretending they didn't

The utter incoherence of Callais is captured in this paragraph (pg. 36). Under Callais, plaintiffs have to show you could draw a Black-majority district that would elect Julia Letlow, a white Republican. That defeats the purpose of the claim, which is to end vote dilution.

When I was a kid, I couldn’t believe that we could land on the moon one year, then be bored of spaceflight the next. Please don’t let that happen to this - we need news that shows us our best selves and what we can achieve together. It’s important.

HC of Team Czechia, Radim Rulik, did not feel the officiating in their game against Team Canada was fair going as far as saying it felt like Czechia was playing against six players 😳 (via: x/RonoAnalyst)

This change has to be walked backed. Someone at Wizards needs to realize this is a bad move. It is one of the worst decisions I've ever seen from this company. All of the formats are doing great since they have taken a more active role in managing them (not you, Pioneer). That is what we need.

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

lowkey kind of annoyed at Twitch chat (i know, shocker) for saying "someone needs to be fired" when there's a low production quality moment (in this case, a FIN ad, or, well, the top left quarter of one, was shown) the whole problem is instead that they need to *hire* someone lmao
