Dumping Google’s enshittified search for Kagi Enough is enough: I’ve jettisoned Google in favor of a search engine that doesn’t treat me like a product.

It's a fantastic feeling to type in a search query and once again get useful, relevant, non-AI results.

Tie the knot at Taco Bell Say I do, and get married at Taco Bell’s flagship Las Vegas Cantina.

Wait, Taco Bell has a wedding chapel? How did I not know about this? A friend of mine just told me about this and she seemed giddy about it. (If she gets married there I hope I'm on her guest list.) www.tacobellwedding.com/pages/our-un...

As a long time youth worker, National Night Out is one of the most weirdly consistent pieces of cop pr out there. Domeone should do a history of it if they haven't. If you know of a good one let me know!

It was driving me nuts and then I figured it out.

One thing that sucks about this is that obits are a great genealogical research tool, and even though they’re not always accurate they can be inaccurate in human, and thus potentially helpful, ways, rather than inaccurate in bullshit ways which will never be helpful.

The coffee shop, for whatever reason, has Days of Thunder on. I've never seen it, and I'm only like 10% paying attention, but am I understanding this right that Race Car Driver Tom Cruise SEDUCES HIS DOCTOR after making a dodgy pass at her while in the hospital with a head injury?

The hell?

Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance Ring founder Jamie Siminoff is back at the helm of the surveillance doorbell company, and with him is the surveillance-first-privacy-last approach that made Ring one of the most maligned tech devices....

ICYMI: Amazon still doing Amazon things

The company is not only reintroducing new versions of old features that allow police to access footage from Ring users

Amazon is introducing a new Ring feature that will allow police to request *livestream* access to our home security devices.

On the same day, THE SAME DAY, the #Worcester City Manager announces the city's "current level of cleanliness is unacceptable," the T&G has this story. Not a super great look. #WhatAreWeDoingHere? 🤦

SWEET JESUS, POOH! THAT'S NOT HONEY YOU'RE EATING console propaganda! "The human eye can only see 30 fps"

To commemorate his life and legacy, I hereby declare August 1, 2025, as "Hulk Hogan Day in Florida," and direct the flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, and at all local and state buildings, installations, and grounds throughout Pinellas County from sunrise to sunset on Friday, August 1, 2025.

No. 1 in Heaven, by Travels With Brindle 6 track album

Good morning and happy #BandcampFriday! My current project—a fully licensed @sparksofficial.bsky.social tribute album— is available for $1.

I’m going to write more on September Bandcamp Friday, but here are some fun facts about the project.

Last night, an adaptation of my piece "Break the Grass Ceiling" was performed as part of a writing showcase. It's about the first Sasquatch elected to Congress.

i almost skipped over it thinking it was The Damned and then "Sharp Teeth" punched me in the back of my head and I loved it.

1) What if Flight 93 actually reached its target? Minor in the grand scheme, but how do we cope as a society the same way w/o "Let's Roll?"

2) What if the United States responded better to Russia annexing Crimea? You can basically draw a straight line from that to the current conflict.

Obsessed with this photo of Mr. Rogers that looks almost exactly like The Onion sickos guy.

the actual procedure, while not *horrible*, is 100% going to fuel more inspiration.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Hulk Hogan, lying inexplicably sideways in his open coffin, being visited by a chihuahua dog, who looks distraught. The people behind the coffin do too

I'm sorry, but this may be the funniest Facebook AI slop I have ever seen. Bury me sideways in my coffin, brother. Let my dog see

Tim Onion, haven't the people of Canton been through enough?

They should go full circle and have Judith Light in the ads

It's well enough known in the gun community that you can buy bumper stickers about it www.abetterway2a.com/product-page...

who takes that long to eat one hot dog

Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97

RIP Tom Lehrer, truly one of the greatest to ever do it, a satirist beyond compare, a brilliant wordsmith, a cheeky fellow, I loved him and his work beyond reason.

What Guess's AI model in Vogue means for beauty standards The first AI-generated model to appear in the pages of Vogue is seen in an advert for Guess.

In fairness it's not like Vogue knows any beautiful women they could call up to photograph. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The absolutely craziest part of all this is that patient zero, as it were, was the Google AI's temporary inability to create an image of a white male pope.

I don't think people understand how sticky that was on the right in ways other minor perceived AI biases were not. And now we get this.

What do cocktails, hospitals, & the railroad system have in common? Ice.

This week, I sit down with Dr. Amy Brady, author of Ice: From Mixed Drinks to Skating Rinks - a Cool History of a Hot Commodity, where we talk about how frozen water transformed American industry, culture, & even class.

enough that my old man reflexes won't ever find out for sure, if my failures thus far are any indication.
