A member of the Braves Triple-A affiliate, the Gwinnett Stripers, rescued a kitten from traffic in late August, and the team called on fans to help name the cute kitty. ChipPurr Jones was the runaway answer and the kitten (with the help of treats) threw out the first pitch

If you're not up on the peculiar jargon you do not know why this is tragically hilarious, so let me put it in parallel: Imagine all the computers at your company all used the same password, it never changed, AND you wrote it into the code in a place where people could find it.

HaJ3FgupAm8RrDJW3MHgT9X7Ft27eVaD What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.

imagine going back to 2014 and being told that in twelve years the biggest controversy in music is going to be Macklemore vs. Pink with Ed Sheeran caught in the middle. and then trying to figure out what it is

I just saw an ad from Wayfair that had a bunch of magical around-the-house effects happening. I immediately thought they had hopped on the Harry Potter train, but it was actually a cross promotion with "Practical Magic 2"? Really bad time for any magic-themed promotion work, I guess.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

For the first time in over 30 years, Newfoundland and Labrador’s Northern cod stock has been deemed “healthy” by Ottawa. www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/09/05/i...

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."

As someone who learned to code as a kid and was doing so professionally by the time the 2008 economy popped, I never understood why 'learn to code' was just the default answer for everyone. Like every job, there are certain skills that are important, so it's really not for everyone.

If I had a nickel for every smug white dude who told me to “learn to code” when I got stuck working retail after the 2008 collapse I could have just not worked at all. WHERE ARE YOU NOW CODE BROS

techno-optimists befuddled by declining popular support for “the robot that tells you to kill yourself”, “the pervert glasses“, and “the camera network that stalks you”
