Because all media is rightwing so they forgive or dismiss the real corruption of the right and hammer the supposed corruption on the left.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

PSA: Starting Android Gradle Plugin 9.0 (or the latest stable version of R8): R8 will automatically optimize all Intrinsics.check* APIs in Kotlin automatically ! This should greatly help improve app performance (especially Compose given the large Kotlin library API surface).

You'd enjoy the Acquired podcast. Nelson recommended the mini-series they did about Google to me a couple months ago, and I've been hooked since then!

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Some politicians and commentators continue to talk our great city down. The facts show a very different picture.
Fewest homicides in London since monthly records began. The number of homicides in London between January to September 2025 is the lowest in the first 9 months of any year since monthly records began in 2003.

I loved my MX Master when I had it, but ended up having to move to the MX Vertical due to wrist pain. I wish they'd make some updates to that one, especially as the scroll wheel on it sucks

You can also just use your head unit to control the smart trainer and watch some TV / YouTube for entertainment. You can have your workouts synced to the head unit beforehand or just do free rides

In the last two days I've had two people stop me to give me their opinions on me using my phone whilst walking (on practically empty pavements, not crossings). The latest informing me (falsely) that in Hamburg I can be fined 60€ for it. Why are you like this? Can't you, idk, get laid or something?

Google auto opted in *every* paying Google Workspace user to Gemini. Also adding a nice increase in price, even though no one opted into it. You cannot turn off / opt out. Except... if you open a support ticket. Only then does Google enable the setting to turn it off! I did:

I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.
