This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

ICE took two more people from my local courthouse today. The wife of one of the guys who was taken showed up shortly after. She just had surgery. She was worried about paying rent and feeding her kids. This is happening *every day* in Massachusetts. Lives are being destroyed every single day.

If you want to support the work of Christians advocating Gaza, check out Christians for a Free Palestine, the Palestine Justice Network, or my part-time employer, the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship.

Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass. It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots. This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes. Cruz was heavily booed by the crowd -- and heard "Ted, you suck!" chants -- in Austin.

As we all watched the horror of our fellow Americans being murdered 25 years ago today, never forget that the Republican Party led by Bush immediately began salivating over curtailing civil liberties and lying us into war in Iraq.

Just watched an old woman holding two canes step off a bus. She wore a long skirt the hem of which was printed as a piano’s keys. Then the hydraulics that had lowered the bus’s front end exerted themselves & the bus rose. I thought, whoever invented that, the kneeling bus, what a great soul.

ICE's presence and mass kidnappings have largely been normalized in media coverage. ICE is operating aggressively in Massachusetts right now, and while it is being covered, the stories don't really give the sense of scale and the abuses occurring with regularity.

In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo. So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

zeteo.com

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?

While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.

Athletes may also be amazing in private, and often are, since many of them come from disadvantaged backgrounds. What makes them positive role-models is how they play and what they do when they aren’t playing.

And telling people not to feel the way they feel in a hyperbolic manner is unlikely to persuade them. If persuasion is your goal, that is.

Matthew @mfbones.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

So the argument is that people shouldn’t look up to players in sports because some of the players might behave poorly? I’m reacting negatively to your hyperbole. There are, based on my experience, few adult people who think pro players are gods.

Matthew @mfbones.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

“Please stop feeling” is a hell of a way to start a discussion. But I’m still confused about the rest of your points. Is the argument here that we shouldn’t enjoy sports because we might be disappointed in the behavior of some of the players/teams/organizations?
