Also neat at CES: HP’s battery-powered PC built into a keyboard. Sort of a screenless laptop.

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

This reminds me of my favourite little factoid about hedgehogs. They used to be called 'urchins' in English, so a sea urchin was a sea hedgehog. In Welsh, a hedgehog is a draenog, and a sea urchin is draenog môr... a sea hedgehog.

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

You weren’t “difficult to love.” You were never loved according to your needs. You weren’t “too intense.” You were unfiltered without guidance. You weren’t “hard work.” You were human. They didn’t know your language. So they called you the problem. Fuck that.

Diagnosed but not believed: Autistic women and the medical gaze

Humans are about 10 million times larger than viruses, yet they kill us regularly. We can’t see them. We can’t outrun them. We can’t destroy them with our guns. And yet we continue to disrespect them. Vaccinate.

The reason that magnolia flowers are more rigid and less soft compared to other flowers is because magnolia trees belong to one of the earliest lineages of flowering plants, and predate bees. They evolved to be pollinated by beetles, and still are

“If you can have a social life you can work”… Oh ffs, yeah because meeting someone for an hour or two every so often is EXACTLY the same… Also, in a decent society, social life should come before work, not after, in priority. Ableist pieces of shit.

Good morning to everyone trying to explain Daylight Saving Time to their cat.

Oh I recognize this trope, this is the one where a dumbfuck executive tries to monetize other people's volunteer labor, while vastly overestimating what people would be willing to pay for it (nothing), driving the company they bought off a cliff! It's a sub variant of enshitification. Classic!

TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea

Hadn’t, in truth, really absorbed the scale of what the Conservatives are proposing on ILR and immigration more broadly until this week’s Sunday Times interviews. Some thoughts on that in today’s note:

Autistic meltdowns aren’t “loss of control”. They’re the body’s last attempt to communicate that something has gone wrong. They’re not moral events - they’re information.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

After the standards underpinning the World Wide Web were created in the early 90s, we decided the best way to fund the web’s development was through ads and not as a public resource like roads or libraries. Every day I think about how different things would be if we’d gone the other way.
