Congrats to the Brew Crew. Listened to the game on a crackling radio speaker while doing housework, as is traditional.

Meet the guy Republicans are hoping to gerrymander into Congress by diluting the voting power of Black people in Memphis.
So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too
Tijuana is the best part of San Diego. It ain’t even close.

I couldn’t think of anyone better to interview me on my podcast about my new data center book than @lifewinning.com — someone who’s been making the infrastructures of the internet visible for far longer than I have. Check out our conversation — and grab our books!
The tech industry’s data center boom has generated an unprecedented backlash — and is threatening any prospect of climate progress in the process. This week @lifewinning.com takes over the show to interview @parismarx.com about his new book HYPERSCALE. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/351_...
Next small obsession: Sega Game Gear repair. This beauty was packaged with The Lion King and use to be blue. Screen turns on and off immediately, indicative of the capacitor failures most common for this device. No battery acid, yay

ok, blood magic haters. say you got your wish and blood magic went away tomorrow. would you be able to get through your day without spells like Blood to Soup? Power Word: Aquacide? Raise Fuckable Skeleton?
ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it
Another day, another group of actual Republican Nazis exposed. “It wasn’t a couple of crazies. The popular sentiment was, ‘Yes, slavery should be legal,’” a former member of Nevada Republican congressional candidate Marty O’Donnell's Discord says. Lots of Hitler fandom as well:

Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...
It’s so funny how these AI guys think every person who plays video games wants to make games instead, every person who enjoys music wants to make it instead. Like no dude, I wanna sit down and enjoy someone else’s work. I’m fuckin tired dawg, I’m tired from making stuff all day.
Imagine installing an Apple HomeView in your 400sqft apartment. Embarrassing as fuck
“It’s only fascism if they manipulate elections!” “It’s only fascism if they disappear people off the street!” “It’s only fascism if they take over the media!” “It’s only fascism if they jail their political opponents!” Is there even anything left?
it’s always “separate the art from the artist” and never “separate the murder from the murderer”
My wonderful colleague @dinalab.bsky.social was on the @opencv.bsky.social weekly webinar today. Andy builds the Mothbox, an @oshwassociation.bsky.social certified open hardware project, that automates biodiversity monitoring for flying insects. Absolutely worth a watch.
A moth light, a Raspberry Pi, and an open-source AI pipeline that IDs every insect it attracts overnight. 🌙 Dr. Andrew Quitmeyer joins OpenCV Live to walk through the Mothbox: hardware, YOLOv8 detection, BioCLIP classification, and real jungle deployments at 9: youtube.com/live/9C2OgjZ... #OpenCV

Latest Apple products make them seem pretty fuckin washed tbh
To be clear the Fucking Around was pretty awesome. I can’t say I recommend it given the Finding Out, but, I did enjoy it quite a bit at the time.
