I finished the new mindy kaling show and it was so mediocre and uninteresting. every line had 5 one liners, the scripts had clearly been punched up to hell and back mindy kaling makes me think of a tweet i saw a bit ago, something like "gracie abrams has nothing to lose and yet she takes no risks"
looking at the replies to the verge clip is a form of self harm. everyone on this website is braindead. protect your peace.
yes they clipped this weirdly but also this is just a very normal & uncontroversial thing to say regardless. "wow so you want NAZIS on the platform???" jfc cut me a break. like yeah i guess anyone who's not a 38 year-old facebook mom who watches rachel maddow religiously must be a nazi.
how did no one notice this typo in the new tanstack website
nvidia, microsoft, openai, mozilla, meta and a ton of others signed a letter about how open weight models are good for a healthy & competitive ai ecosystem and they should not be banned by the us government. anthropic employees are reacting in totally normal and not at all weird ways.
we've shared previously that we were planning another community day for August 22nd at @recurse.com, here are the details! more to come soon on talks and workshops 👀
atproto.nyc community day 2026
Join us on Saturday, Aug 22nd at the Recurse Center in Brooklyn to learn, hack, and build with the AT Protocol!

this makes so much sense until you think about it for 5 seconds a) hugging is far from a competitor b) hugging face determined an ai agent was behind the hack before they knew it was openai, so yes ai did this hack its not a publicity stunt but this stuff gets 200 likes we rlly need community notes
I don't buy this bullshit for a single fucking second. This is perfectly engineered to 1) attack a competitor, 2) "have" plausible deniability, and 3) push forward the narrative of AI having actual, autonomous intelligence. Fuck OpenAI.
am I crazy or does this look like she's officiating their wedding
weirdest collection of performers for a half time show I think I've ever seen. is Europe like ten years behind on pop culture?
I have no idea what happened, but this old article I wrote has gone absolutely nuts on Google Search today. Over 1,000 referrals from Google already this morning. www.aaronrosspowell.com/3m2zggtugcc2f
Substack Doesn't Want You to Leave
Substack's business model is unsustainable—unless they lock all their writers in.

Deno is back on Bluesky! 🥳 Also their new website (deno.com) looks great and finally has benchmarks against Bun, now that Deno 2.9 pulled ahead in most of them. I also love the line in the header: "Faster than Node; more stable than Bun."
Deno v2.9.2 is out with perf improvements: - ReadableStream async iterator now has a sync fast path - queueMicrotask uses V8 natively - zero-copy async writes for node streams - SIMD JSON indexing for npm packuments Plus 39 bug fixes and 13 improvements to Deno Desktop deno upgrade
More atproto iOS apps should launch on @altstore.io! Especially the ones that are based in Europe since that's where iOS users can install outside of Apple's App Store.

lol Threads banned the new Infowars. Silenced for TRUTH. Everybody go yell at them.
@lcas.dev all the progress on fresh 3 seems great but is there a reason it's not on jsr anymore?
