These are very cool, they remind me in grandeur of the work of Michael Whelan and Simon Stålenhag. Not so much how they look or are executed, just the sense of vastness and mystery. That feeling of being part of a complete, alien world.

Brother was a mechanic, left the field but still works on cars in his spare time, says the enshitification of even brand name car parts has gotten terrible.

BBC Verify Live: Misleading ICE footage spreading after night of protests Latest updates from the BBC's specialists in fact-checking, verifying video and tackling disinformation.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.

This feels like it should be in the hands of a Far Side comic cave man.

An email from Martin Peterson to university administrators.

Martin Peterson's creative response to being banned from teaching Plato (shared with his permission).

Closets and gun safes all over America are filled with Garands that were made to shoot fascists.

So, I assume that one of the inherent safety devices for current shipping is the fact that crews have licenses that can be revoked, especially officers and specialists? I foresee a decrease in human error mistakes *aboard these, but an increase in accidents due to greedy ownership decisions.

Having spent my youth in the rural Midwest of the 90s having this administration very much feels like having a tweaker for a room mate. “WHY did you steal all of the wiring from our garage and sell the copper??? No, I don’t care that the basement floor is clean enough to eat off of. WHERE’S MY CAR!?

NYC Wegmans is storing biometric data on shoppers' eyes, voices and faces The supermarket chain says it’s a move to ensure shopper safety. Surveillance experts warn of privacy risks.

@wegmansofficial.bsky.social Why are you doing this? No one wants this. Please stop doing this!

Ppl who are not Venezuelan listen up:
You will start hearing stuff about Venezuelans wanting this or participating or something. These are deranged claims.

Make no mistake, the Venezuelan govt is corrupt and evil but this isn't it. This is just more evil happening on my country that helps no one.

Congress’ real decision to make should be “after we have impeached and convicted these people and seized their ill-gotten assets, do we send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his miserable life, or do we exile him to Russia?” Congress needs to stop being spineless.

Have you considered that you are the Truman Show character and the writers are having Drake’s character do all this stuff offstage just to troll you for the ratings?

From the pictures these boats all seem to be what, 30’ long or less? I don’t know what kind of “facility” is needed to load a boat of that size and how blowing it up will help stop narcotics trafficking. You could load stuff into a boat that small anywhere.

I mean Hail Satan and all, but let’s not take this evil too far.

His profile pic looks like the character portrait you choose for your least favorite party member when you are doing the “evil” play though of an RPG and you already used all the cool villain portraits.

Despite being a huge music lover and a theater kid I’ve never liked musicals as a a genre. For the most part they totally rub me the wrong way but holy crap Fiddler is so, so good as both. +1 on the movie, everyone is great, and Topol is amazing.

Memorable Games of 2025 #4: Agincourt. Originally, we’d been planning Lewes 1264 for The Other Partizan, but it became clear that we weren’t going to be ready in time. Fortunately Scrivs had a huge Agincourt collection…

My brother’s sitting with a friend at a window table in a pub in Oxford.
Friend says “Was that Brian Blessed in the street?”
And then, right by the window:
“YES IT’S ME, BRIAN BLESSED! BWAH HA HA HA!”. And then RAN away.

I've waited 3 years to make this post

I agree with needing to skill people up, and our ongoing need for more skilled folks. it was mostly a response to the “we need alpha devs that can really grind out code because we’re going to grind them into dust just to ship more product of dubious quality” vibe that is everywhere in tech.

I feel like there is a lot of “your failure to plan != my emergency here”. It’s like saying “we need a lot more super ace pilots that can land overloaded jets that are out of fuel safely at airports that are closed due to weather”

Or, you know we could invest in not letting it get to that point.

Amazing that a company that gained so much from America’s welcoming immigration policies can turn around and throw that all away to whore for the worst administration in American history.

Annnnnd all the people who work elections have strokes upon reading this and considering the combination of the holidays and elections.

I am prepared

After 20 years in IT, it amazes me that there is all this AI money for a way to have machines write more communications. A two sentence email is already one sentence too long. People literally only read the first sentence and then <waves hands>.

Time for the Italian job!

Unless there is a plan to pay for it and maintain paying for it I feel like it’s just hot air So much amazing information in the hobby and amateur historian field disappeared after message boards went to Facebook and site owners of niche historical collections died with no clear plan for their stuff
