Theory: the rise of YouTube gamers has kind of ruined new games, especially sequels. Nintendo saw countless hours of YouTubers horsing around in Breath of the Wild, so they made a sequel built entirely about horsing around […] notes.keithjgrant.com/notes/2026/09…

I'll never get over how batshit insane it is that MacOS will let you interact with a window without moving focus to that window. I'll do like three things via mouse right clicks and middle clicks, then start typing, and the text goes to a different app altogether because focus never switched.

for some context, the red circle is where it started about 4 hours ago? it went from 50 acres to close to 2000 acres in a few hours. this will probably be the worst fire in spokane since 1992-ish

I rarely go to the theater anymore, but The Odyssey was absolutely worth it. Incredibly well done. Who knew a cyclops could actually be terrifying or a Trojan horse actually believable?

Grimm is one of my favorite shows of all time. But I never get over the way they never stopped messing with the opening credits. Even after they dialed it in mid season two, the length changed wildly all the way through season six

With style queries now in all browsers, here's my take on the best way to do dynamic color theming with modern CSS: - Custom properties - light-dark() - contrast-color() - Style queries - Relative color syntax (^Features available in all modern browsers) Read about it ⬇️⬇️ una.im/modern-css-t...

Patty Griffin’s Shine a Different Way is such a joyful, hopeful song, but it always hits doubly hard when I think about the entire career of tragic, sorrowful music that preceded it

"In a world first, publishers will now have effective tools to prevent their content being used to power AI features in search, such as AI Overviews." This *is* good, and surprisingly the UK has this first, but also…feels a little like the horse already bolted? 🐎💨 www.theverge.com/tech/942302/...

Google must let publishers opt out of AI Search features, rules UK

Rejoice, website owners.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

I generally agree, with the exception of watching someone enjoy some art (like music or a game) you can never experience for the first time again. I love seeing first time reactions to a song I love.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.

The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

“Me neither…just don’t tell my boss!” Simple normie-coded quip that disarms + sidesteps the awkward comment and puts everyone at ease (incl assuaging their fear) From early career to college to centimillion boardroom discussions, awkwardness mitigation tactics have always served me incredibly well

"What do you do?" "I'm a software developer" "I don't know anything about computers" Why is this always the conversation? What do you say to that? I've never heard anybody meet a doctor and then say "I don't know anything about medicine".

There’s a character in a Brandon Sanderson novel whose intelligence varies wildly day to day. Some days, he’s barely able to function, some he’s an unprecedented genius, and most often, he’s somewhere in the middle. I just realized this is exactly how an LLM functions.
