Chris Christie valorizing Mike Pence for saying “NO" to Trump. Weirdly, Pence doesn't look happy about it. 😂The incentives in this race are fucking hilarious. #debate

Ramaswamy: “Mike Pence, join me in committing to pardoning Donald Trump on day one!”Pence: “…I don't know why you're assuming he’ll be convicted.”Not sure who won that one in the eyes of the audience. #debate

Pence: “I had no right to overturn the 2020 election, and Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election in 2024.”Kamala Harris, somewhere, spitting her drink: “You keep my goddam name out your goddamn mouth, milquetoast boy.”#debate

Pence: "Anyone who doesn't think we can both support free people abroad AND support Americans at home has a pretty sorry opinion of the most powerful nation on Earth, Vivek.”Honestly, a solid line from Pence. #debate

Really enjoying the “Is it covid, or is it something else with all the same symptoms as covid, and if it's the latter what's really the difference?" game it seems like we get to play forever now. 🙃 https://m6n.io/@fuzzychef/111484713729195294

Can't believe it took two goddamn seasons of the TV series Halo to get any of the characters onto the fucking Halo.

Halo: The TV Series is not meaningfully the same story as Halo: The Video Game Series.It has some similar characters and concepts, in the same way that most fanfiction has characters and concepts that more or less resemble the original work.But that's very much what it is: fanfiction. And *bad* fanfiction, at that.Why couldn't they just tell the interesting story that was already there? I really don't understand.

Dario recently forced me to create an account to continue using a blood sugar monitor I already own (😡), so of course I gave my name as "Fuck Off."This turns out to have been an amazing decision, because they inject your name into their marketing emails. 😂

Someone should run a Little Bobby Tables experiment on Dario's account database. 🤔https://xkcd.com/327/

Except they probably shouldn’t, because those accounts potentially have a lot of users' important medical data associated.Though you'd hope they'd keep the user data and marketing databases separate, and only associate user-provided names with the latter…

Proposal: electronic mail system tied to residence so we can stop cutting down forests for junk mail. Administered by the postal service, so whenever you file a change of address and prove receipt of a mailpiece at the new address, you automatically get the "keys" to the relevant email account.It costs less—half as much, maybe?—to send to these addresses than to stamp a physical mailpiece for delivery, with the goal of reducing spam but (sigh) allowing political campaign & other junk mail.

@Adam Well, my pitch is for the US specifically, and that it would be standard IMAP accounts—one per physical address. The innovation is requiring payment from the sender at time of sending in order to ensure delivery, mirroring the physical mail system.But yes, you raise a valid concern that—even if the accounts use an industry standard email system—the government potentially has visibility into the emails delivered to you. This isn't meaningfully different from the physical mail system.

If your response to this post was to share more AI slop output with me, I have bad news.

Terry Pratchett wrote the only text that matters on sin:"And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”“It’s a lot more complicated than that—”“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes—”“But they *starts* with thinking about people as things…”

Yes. YESSSSSS. Leave Spotify! It's a Gordian knot of underpaid musicians, design darkpatterns, and attempts to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish open web standards like podcasts. And that's before you get to the investments in military drone tech or the profiting from mass disinformation.Use literally any other music service, I beg you.https://variety.com/2025/music/news/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-pulls-music-off-spotify-1236470802/
