Alarmist sounding, but also based on a capitalist notion that “nutrition” is a measurable quality which can be compared like this. Also tends to ignore the fact that “being able to feed mass populations” is a huge nutritional advancement.

Got volumes 1+2 in the Sweet Shop Iron Circus sale and really loved them. Volume 2 especially. Had to back this and get all 3 in paperback.

Can I recommend Cal Newport’s explanation of the Hugging Face incident? It’s very groundingin terms of what’s really going on there, because he understands the technology enough to explain it in a non-sensationalized way: youtu.be/S0u78gg26vU?...

See “balance” in games. Actually not integral to fun but still better to have than not.

medical malpractice insurance, the existence of which has never meant that people shouldn’t be able to sue their doctor. Obviously none of that will just end police violence. But honestly there just shouldn’t be a legal shield around anyone with uniform. And killing someone should ruin your life.

the article does some conflation in its metaphor around officer liability. It would not be comparable to when you have to fight your insurance for coverage because you are not the claimant. The officer is. They can fight him, but that’s not your problem. A better comparison would be

Article doesn’t really talk about QI. Correct me if I’m wrong, but QI only protects officers as individuals, not the department right? So ending QI would mean the actual individual bears the responsibility. And presumably would also open a much wider range of causes of action. Further,

Wouldn’t ending QI take away their money? And in turn reduce their power because they can be held at least financially accountable? Obviously it’s not the whole thing, but it would be reductive to say that there’s no value in restoring the original intent of the reconstruction congress’s KKK act.

Because there’s massive money to be made converting public funds into private. If you can convince some stupid/corrupt superintendent that buying your tech will make him look good, then you can get away with basically stealing money that could have gone to teacher salaries, support staff, materials.

It seems naive to frame this as forward-looking “to push its interests”, rather than “as a reward for pushing its interests”.

Princess Bride fans I’ll argue that Inigo is the main character in part because he’s played by a Columbo while a Columbo tells the story. Fred Savage was sometimes floated as a possible future Columbo.

*this is a generalization, but also I think I positive trait for someone who’s job is making sure everything adds up. Consistency > convenience.

In my experience as a software developer, accountants thrive on consistency and hate when processes change*. Generally, they would rather keep doing something the hard way than change how they do it. I suspect this is part of why jank persists in financial software.

The basis of her work is that kids are good inside and need skills and guidance instead of control and punishment. I can’t read the article, but if it’s posturing as anti-sharing that’s a misrepresentation of the expert quoted here.

Devin Allen @devinallenaz.bsky.social · 25/03/2026
We use a lot of resources from the person being quoted here. I think the point of this is being poorly represented. It’s a tip in context of “teaching your kid to share” and the emphasis is on saying “hey be sure to give that person a turn when you are done” and not “give them your toy”

You have great taste man! I love these. I’m not confident enough in Japanese art analysis to say why, but something about that dog feels both medieval and modern.

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed. (2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind. (3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.

Read this alongside my son a couple years ago and it seriously blew me away. Still just randomly think about it regularly. We are both currently re-reading the series.

But, 1 hour delivery still isn’t there??? Door dash et al are still unsustainable. So you accidentally made a good point. You can keep the hype going for a long time by throwing cash in a fire, but that doesn’t mean it will be worth it.

I just started reading comics last year and following One World Under Doom was a great sampler platter of different characters and has definitely shaped what I’m interested in going forward. Like I had no affinity for F4 and just grabbed some for the tie in. Now I’m hooked.
