Halt and Catch Fire made the 100 Best Shows of the 21st Century.
This drama began in the early days of the personal computer evolution—before social media, before FOMO, before AI angst—to tell the story of a Quartet of tech pioneers, who looked at those clunky beige desktop boxes and saw kaleidoscopic future. Computers were “the thing that gets us to the thing,” the latter thing being connection, empowerment, even a new kind of art. What began as a familiar tail of business-suite intrigue—“mad men” with processors—became a rich, heartfelt, human exploration of the cost and rewards of work and the necessity of failure. Its portrait of 80s and 90s techno-optimism may seem quaint now, but its rendering of the love of creation remains bleeding-edge. —James Poniewozik

boss, the fascism
Tumblr post by user Nitewrighter that reads:
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
Confused about Chat Control 1.0 (being voted on TOMORROW at 12:00!) and Chat Control 2.0? See fightchatcontrol.eu/chat-control...
 There is not one proposed “Chat Control” law — there are two, and they are moving through the EU institutions in parallel. This is why the news can seem contradictory: one Chat Control was "stopped" in March 2026, yet another is still being negotiated, and the first is now being revived. This page untangles the two.

As the 5th trilogue finished without agreement, Council and the European People's Party (EPP), with Germany's SDP and CDU being the driving forces, are attempting to bypass Parliament and reactivate the already expired #ChatControl 1.0. No, believe it or not, means no! fightchatcontrol.eu

Sarah’s book is jaw-dropping, and Meta has been pulling this clown shit for over a year. As the article points out, it’s clearly a personal vendetta rather than good crisis comms. Too bad the Streisand Effect exists!
