The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Job applicants are using AI to write resumes and prep interview answers. Companies are using AI to screen those applications and conduct initial interviews. We’ve officially automated both sides of a process meant to measure human connection. The irony is genuinely unreal.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

Not acceptable. Wiki should be mostly text. This is 2GB of most likely badly compressed graphics and few pages of text sprinkled in. That, or some idiot included a movie in the file.

Pomelo @crypto-pomelo.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
I do. This having 2GB tells me it's larger than entire Wikipedia repos for some languages. That's just wrong

Pomelo @crypto-pomelo.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Why is your offline wiki larger than the game it describes?

Looks great for work/typing, better for wrists. Not so much for gaming, I guess.

War and Peas 🧿 @warandpeas.bsky.social · 23/07/2026
Yonkoma Comic by War and Peas. 1. Panel: A royal person surveys their lands and says, "I'm feeling blue today." 2. Panel: An aide makes the suggestion "Perhaps torturing some peasants might cheer up Your Excellency?" 3. Panel: The royal person replies,"Maybe something less violent. Like frolicking in a field of daisies." 4. Panel: They're standing in a field of daisies looking depressed: "Hm. Get the peasants."

I assume it was ignored because most people don't write recipes in Excel spreadsheets.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Aye. The unwritten rule is that if it has been more than half year, you gotta start over. Let's face it - in many games the first steps are the most fun anyway. Also, keeping saved games from last year to finish the game some day, is a lie.

Video game fact! Though there are hundreds of video games of many genres and styles, there are only three possible “sizes” a video game can come in. Those sizes are: “Small” (16.00 MB) “Medium” (374.26 MB) “Large” (154.44 GB)

I know a student who uses this to generate digestible audio podcasts from awfully boring study material that is in text form. So yeah, it has a singular use in this world.
