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.

I just saw a doctor to investigate a feeling in my throat. As part of the treatment he said I need to quit coffee for a month. Does anyone know how to file a malpractice suit?

I have never needed a LEGO set more: arstechnica.com/space/2026/0... As a kid, I used to draw Hubble because I was so fascinated with it. This set is fantastic.

My dog looks extra cute when her food is soaking and she knows it and she wants it and why can't I have it now dadda?

Clearly it's time to reread Neuromancer. Apparently I saw 30 Seconds To Mars on 20 Jun 2005 and decided that was my bookmark for Neuromancer some years later?

It's finally happening! I really loved Neuromancer when I read it (2004). I'm really excited to watch it.

This is pretty nuts - Thanks to @anime0t4ku.bsky.social you can now boot games directly from original optical discs on many #MiSTerFPGA cores. Links and more info in the post: retrorgb.com/mister-boot-...

Incredible work

oh my god he's literally tilting at windmills

I finished 'Project Hail Mary' earlier today -- absolutely inhaled it. What a fun book! I need more "basically present day in space" sci-fi books.

A new level of mind-blowing just dropped: css-dos.ahmedamer.co.uk Run MSDOS in the browser, 100% in CSS! There's a bit of compiler magic so it doesn't take 3 months to load, but there's an option to load the raw CSS instead if you want, which does crash the tab 😁

Anyone can comment, and the more we fight against this power grab the more likely Congress is to intervene. (We shouldn't expect OMB to back down, so be ready for this fight.) So: please tell OMB why these changes will break the scientific enterprise in the US: www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM...

Friends, we need your help—a 🧵 The White House Office of Management and Budget, led by Project 2025's Russell Vought, wants to destroy how U.S. science has been done since World War II. This @arstechnica.com article is a great primer (apologies for the thumbnail): arstechnica.com/science/2026...

Proposed new US funding rules: We can cancel any grant at any time
