Nevada is... strange, I've never been. Especially because the cities are more spot on; my mother was born in California, and I currently live in Portland, having grown a bit north in SW Washington.
A heat map from the website "mydialect.us", showing which states in the United States my speech most resembles. The west coast is very red to denote "most like you", especially around California and Nevada, whereas the east coast is very blue to denote "least like you", especially around Louisiana and Mississippi.
It specifically states that I talk most like someone from Nevada, with 54% of my answers matching.

There is a section below the map with a set of three cities for Most Similar and Least Similar.
Most similar are:
San Francisco, CA (53%)
Los Angeles, CA (53%)
Portland, OR (52%)

Least similar are:
New Orleans, LA (46%)
Nashville, TN (46%)
Atlanta, GA (47%)

Further context: I am from Southwest Washington and currently live in Portland, Oregon. I found Nevada being my most similar match to be very confusing as a result, as I have never been there.

Hey Comcast, an email saying the month is heating up while it is yellow outside due to wildfire smoke, and a city in Washington is actively on fire, was maybe not the most tastefully timed marketing promo

Shout out to this Portland fire hydrant and it's wonderful bespoke hat.
A dingy, rusted fire hydrant covered in stickers and graffiti. There is a patch of wild grass growing out from underneath it. The fire hydrant is topped with a delightful seemingly hand-knit rainbow beanie, which is a little crusty and dirty from being out in the elements.

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

"According to Velloso, less than 3% of paying users actively use Copilot, even though Microsoft has pre-deployed it directly into the Windows 11 taskbar and across the Office suite." lol, lmfao

Former Microsoft VP says Microsoft missed the AI wave like the internet and mobile, as Copilot scales back in Windows 11
Former Microsoft PM says the company's AI push failed, citing Copilot's dismal 3.3% adoption rate and calling for a massive factory reset.

My copy of Rigsby WI volume 2 by @secase.bsky.social and @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social arrived today. I lost the house I grew up in, around 2021. It's been a rough time since then. Finding Rigsby WI around two years ago really helped me pull through.
The cover of Rigsby WI Volume 2: Burn it Down by S.E. Case. A young woman with red hair wearing a grey jacket, jeans, and combat boots is standing with a bicycle, looking at a house that is utterly ablaze, fire pouring out of its windows. The scene's lighting is dominated by the reds and oranges of the inferno.

Mussolini, on my mother's side. On my dad's, no idea. I just know the family got split up and shipped across the country after my great-great-grandma murdered her (abusive) husband (she tossed a bucket of water on him while he was piss drunk and threw him outside)

Jack Nicholls has quickly became one of my favorite video essayists, especially when it comes to games like Vile. This is an extremely good video that, at the time of writing, Youtube is hiding for bad reasons that the video itself goes over. Highly recommend giving it a watch.

I was maybe 4 or 5 playing in the back yard. One of the fence slats was on the ground with nails sticking up. I remember the chain of thought very clearly: "If I arch my foot just right, I could step on the nail and have it pierce my flip-flop without hurting my foot." I then stomped on it, hard.

There are definitely practical reasons to voluntarily do van life, and there are definitely people who actively crave/choose that lifestyle. But I can never shake the suspicion that a lot of it is fueled by a despairing acceptance that traditional home ownership will be impossible before age 40.

I feel this way about "van life" and "tiny houses." Capitalism trying to transform the broken promises made to Millennials and younger into hip, fun lifestyles, instead of acknowledging *their* parents were homeowners at 25 and something terrible has changed that trajectory.

This really bugged me about the Divinity trailer. Coming right off of the Horses controversy, it's really clear that Steam has a bias.

Burn it Down is one of the most impactful stories I've read this decade. Highly recommend checking it out. Rigsby WI in general captures the feeling of being a teen in small town America during the 2000s more than anything I've ever read.

[MasterCard logo which reads Censorship]

there are some things money can’t buy, for that you can thank MasterCard ®.

For years, MasterCard has led the way in pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, we have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.
