There’s nothing more romantic than good science.

(I’ve done the research. My team’s paper will soon be published in The Journal of Relational Chemistry.)

How did he do that before drones?!

Few people remember when computers were sold by the foot (meters in the EU).

Magazines gave higher ratings for products that delivered more desk-feet per dollar.

Wow! Those so-called “passives” look like they were pretty active for a brief moment.

It looks like the kind of place thirty-year-olds would go to visit an aged Peter Ustinov and a hundred cats.

Even without considering those details, it just doesn’t make economic sense. It will always be more expensive to put equipment in space than on the ground.

The only motivation I can imagine is to make such a data center be outside of government/judicial oversight, but that is not likely to work.

Keyboards don't kill zombies, words do.

Icky-pick in consumer-grade cables FTW!

Fun for the whole family! Be sure to wear gloves and keep industrial solvents handy for cleaning it off your clothes and furniture.

A very happy Batman's birthday, to all who celebrate.

That’s an interesting idea. It would also work for Atari devices.

For example: if 84% of people already agree that scientific research aimed at advancing knowledge is usually a worthwhile investment over time...

Why are you so sure that the real problem is that people "just don't know enough about why research matters"

Writing a sprite multiplexer is not a waste of anyone’s time. Everyone should be given the opportunity to make one.

The manatees now have their own Instagram account.

Oh! This is one of those times I get to remind everyone who knows what this is, *especially* those of us who can quote the bit, to schedule your colonoscopy and get your shingles shot, if you haven't already.

You’re absolutely right. “Totally Above Board and Honest Tax & Accounting” has a better ring to it.

This video is worth your time to watch.

I’ve had a root canal that was pretty comfortable and took less than an hour. So, if I had to choose, watching that movie would not be the clear winner.

Listen to the story that shaped a generation. Decades after starring in Stand By Me, the film adaptation of THE BODY, Wil Wheaton lends his voice to an all new recording of the audiobook. Pre-order your copy and start listening March 24, 2026.

The Writer of Groundhog Day Has Been Living His Movie for the Past 24 Years For Danny Rubin, who wrote the beloved movie and the new musical, every day is Groundhog Day.

Today is Groundhog Day!

That means it's time for you to (re-)read @sirosenbaum.bsky.social's delightful profile of the writer of GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)!!!!

The piece is a complete banger and it will cheer you up, guaranteed!!!!

[Looks forward to watching your Twitch channel.]

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Can you elaborate on “edge detection?” Sounds interesting.

I just thought everyone should see this

I, for one, welcome our bovine overlords.

I’ve got one you can have from one of the years where they didn’t award it to anyone. It might look like the word “chemistry” was scratched out and a label gun was used to cover it with “peace,” but I was assured this is legit by a very insistent seller on eBay.

Dearest Internet,

The phrase is “all of a sudden.”

Yours faithfully,
