I have a pair of leather "Super Timbs" that I've owned for 35 years. When the soles started to rot and fall off, I took them to local shoe place and had new soles put on and as much of the leather polished up as they could. They will almost certainly outlive me.

Great anti-doomscrolling thread. Reminder of (lots of) things not to take for granted that have materially improved in this Gen-Xer's lifetime.

Appalling, but unsurprising. The downward slide continues.

Dammit! I'm sorry, Jon. It is truly the worst of times for so many of the best people.

I'm old enough to remember when this was just how Americans did business! Doubling down, denials, cover-ups, flip-flopping -- all IMMEDIATELY called out and people/orgs felt the instant burn of shame and the consequences. Bring back giving a shit about making things right. 👍

I had that on cassette like so many 90's classics... I don't even want to know what those were worth.

Enjoyed a fantastic Saturday night of free will, which basically consisted of my wife and I casting YouTube videos of 90's music to the living room TV. I realized I didn't have the Lords of the Underground's 1993 LP "Here Come the Lords" in my Plex collection of obscure 90's rap. Remedied that.

How appropriate that, in the year when we celebrate the 250th anniversary of a revolution fought beneath the banner of "No Taxation Without Representation!", the party in power is taxing states shut out of political power to fund programs in states that do have power.

There are ways to trim your videogame development budget, and then there are *ways* to trim your videogame development budget.

Screenshot from the videogame Grey Skies. A female character stands in front of an indoor swimming pool. A sign by the pool says PLEASE DO NOT SWIM, and, in smaller letters, "There isn't an animation for it."

It's also somewhat uncommon for us grayhairs to make a lot of friends in our 50's and beyond (isn't it?). What is striking is how bad COLLEGE STUDENTS today appear to be at it. Things done changed, y'all.

I love this. Brought a genuine smile to my face

Since the World Cup is fresh on everyone's mind - this is a TRUMP OWN GOAL. Doing this by *accident* should have been sufficient to immediately send GOP numbers into the toilet en masse and the whole admin into turmoil. What a sad statement on our electorate that it's still business as usual.

Look what happens when weak politicians are asked fair questions by members of the press! Mans has a podium with bullet points about Talarico on the front of it, but runs away when the press asks him to respond. Leaving a bunch of dazed, behatted gentlemen just standing there. 10/10, no notes.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

Yet another Kalshi offering that serves no legitimate economic purpose. It's not possible to make a rational bet on this without material non-public information. It's a market solely for fraud by both regulators and corporate insiders, and everyone connected to it in any way should go to prison.

Kalshi Inc. is expanding in biotechnology by offering wagers on the outcomes of clinical trials and regulatory decisions, giving traders a more direct way to bet on key industry catalysts.

There's a lot of sordid tales of "above the line" game developers getting screwed by big publishers (and the below-the-line folks have had it way worse), but now you are much more likely to know the name of a guy who streams videogames than the people who actually make them.

Dan Magaha @dgackey.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

When individual game developers started controlling their own destinies, and could break off and form their own companies, they did, and forced publishers to engage in bidding wars. The right name on a box could assure sales the same way a Will Smith or Tom Cruise was "bankable" in Hollywood.
