It's ridiculous: The 2025 TdFF regulations said riders born in/after 2003 were eligible for the U23 jersey. Apparently that was just copy-pasted into the #TDFF2026 rules, making the white jersey an U24 jersey this year. 🤪 (screenshot via @elsterrato.bsky.social)

Yesterday, Lorena Wiebes proved she can do more than just sprint. Today, the easier run-in makes her the clear favourite to take a second consecutive stage win at #TDFF2026

One of them said "Seeing The Odyssey before Spider-Man is like eating an Au Cheval burger and then going to get some Five Guys" and the comparison frankly took my breath away. The schools are producing poets

People who don't ride the bus will never hear a group of teenage boys debriefing about the matinee showing of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY they caught at Regal City North, specifically in terms of how it compares to THE ODYSSEY, which they unanimously described as "fire"

I have started running Claude alongside the book I am writing on ants, as well as just letting Google Gemini do its thing at the top when I do Google search. It is not doing any writing I am using, and I am always checking the results against primary sources.

This is the start of a new series on my blog that I tentatively call "hitting the digital brakes". If I come up with a better title, I shall change this...

HAPPY TOUR DE FRANCE FEMMES DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE! I'm ready, so so so ready. Let's gooooo! #TDFF2026 #WatchTheFemmes

As nice as the men's TdF jersey was (though I liked the butter yellow better), the women's one is on another level. Cute close up and really nice from afar. Plus still a ton of yellow on it (unlike the men's) so it will actually be visible 🥳

“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.” - Sam Altman. I will never stop thinking about how nakedly evil this is, and it has framed every single AI headline I’ve read since.

Sam Altman Says Intelligence Will Be a Utility, and He's Just the Man to Collect the Bills

"Intelligence too cheap to meter" doesn't quite come across the way Altman might intend.

But we can't get a woman president because eh why again? Oh yes, too emotional and volatile

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 6d ago

We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.

NOT HANK GETTING THE ACTUAL BLACK AND BLUE DRESS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. And @hankgreen.bsky.social saw white and gold. I feel betrayed. /j And I just checked. The dress was 10 FRICKING YEARS AGO? What in the ever-loving f***?
