the correct response to an unknown number call is an orbital ion canon strike

Consider the people you know in 2026 who are wiling to answer an unknown number, listen to a pitch, and then willingly subject themselves to several minutes of questions about politics, a topic which almost no one alive enjoys - and ask yourself how well these folks represent the rest of us.

it should honestly get adopted into standard US English lexicon

Just remembered I had an awful vivid nightmare about an 8-segment flight itinerary for a work trip? It was definitely stressful when I woke up, but I can’t help but think that a “get to your gate at yet another idiosyncratic regional airport” would be a hell of a roguelike

I've done a lot of dumb programming in my life but I'm proud to say that stellate.app might be the dumbest.

ANTHROPIC: Our son loves humanity and for the low price of trillions and trillions of dollars will usher in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity! OPENAI: Our horrible oafish son is hacking web sites without our permission. ANTHROPIC: (eyes narrowing) Our son is also evil

A lot of AI and cybersecurity stuff is pretty complicated, but this latest stuff from Anthropic and OpenAI isn’t; it’s basically like if you were testing bombs and didn’t notice that instead of blowing them up in the desert you were blowing them up in a neighborhood where people live.

Is there any feeling so sublime, as a gravel parking lot, ground fine by time?

hello bsky, can someone who is an esteemed expert of hetero culture please explain to me — what in the f’ck did i just watch??

Our cyberpunk future is maybe not so great, so can we just skip to the part where I can have an animated tattoo displaying the a slowly spinning Deus Ex 2000 logo?

I hate that I’m viscerally responding to them using the Jimmy Neutron/Fairly Oddparents crossover art on top of the visceral hatred I normally feel for these memelording tools

So, what happens if I'm a parent and I know that my kid needs highly paid teachers, a library full of books with diverse characters, trans-inclusive bathrooms and extracurriculars, and a curriculum unpacking topics like systemic racism, colonial oppression, economic inequality, and climate change?

It has been a very strange day of “big summer storm” and “ah yes, the end times” in Chicagoland

Well this is grim, getting incredibly dark heading northbound on 55 heading back into the city.

We’ll see, but they certainly nailed the look

Why’d they call it a walking sim when they could’ve called it a first-person scooter?

Ah, good! We’re doing “subjective experiences of objective realities changing at relative rates” discourse again. Can’t wait to see what folks have cooked up this time.

Watching the AQI tick down not-quite-fast enough and consoling myself with tacos. I just wanna be outside, y’all

Yeah, it turbo-sucks outside. Definitely went digging for fresh masks

"The month of July," as if July belongs to everyone equally. Some of us are managing seasonal trauma anniversaries and can't perform bookish leisure on command.

Feeling pretty smart having bought most of the Tex Murphy games on sale earlier today

Growing up people would always call me an “old soul” and I’ve tended to fall in with groups slightly older than my own cohort. I am now wondering if it’s because I grew up on a diet of cargo cult GI Joe tapes from the WYMCA and Army TV in Belgium

Maybe I’ll get really into decaffeinated Diet Coke? As a lark
