I regret to inform Seattle the eternal “locked in demo mode” electronic sign near U Village has been turned off. For years, it has cycled through the demo messages. Several years!

Matthew 6:5 should shut her up: 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others... 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen

I love these stories about turning old industrial sites into thriving ecosystems. Derbyshire’s Willington Wetlands, a former gravel quarry where beavers were released in 2021 after being absent for 800 years, has welcomed white storks, bringing them back to the Midlands after 600 years.

Clearly Trump is so torn up he just couldn’t bring himself to read the eulogy in advance.

I don't know about the UK, but photographing strangers without their consent in places with a high expectation of privacy (bathrooms, locker rooms, etc) is a great way to find yourself in a lot of legal hot water pretty damn quick. Don't ever do this. It's weird and creepy, no matter who is inside.

haven’t seen the movie so i don’t have a strong opinion on emily wilson’s review of it (other than it was unnecessarily vicious in a couple of spots), but “i hated this and i hope many more things like it get made” is a very relatable opinion about art to me, lol

Useful to know, because I can preload Moby-Dick and start reading it aloud in competition.

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

“Two detectives, an Ohio county Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS) caseworker, and a Cleveland Clinic physician met on Zoom to discuss how the 2-year-old daughter of a congressman and granddaughter of a US senator wound up with a broken collarbone... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Declaring that they have broken Zeus's law, I feed the men wearing Meta glasses to my giant snake. Once they've been swallowed, it burps all the glasses up at once, which land in a small pile. I leave this pile alone as a shrine and a warning to sailors: no pervert wearables on my island, thanks

‘Pretty sure he’s wet:’ Immigration agents used racial slurs during LA sweeps, court records show. “Yeah, just plug us in wherever you see some tonks and we’ll jump out.” “tonks everywhere selling food.”  W/ @wendyfry.bsky.social calmatters.org/justice/2026...

Chloe Zhao's THE TIGER IS OUT, coming 2028

AI execs: "we plan to build so many data centers that they we will eventually blot out the sun building them in space." Some experimental psychologist with a substack: "okay but cUrReNtLy ExIsTiNg data centers don't consume all that much energy, compared when you think about it. THIS IS FINE!"

"Even if the number of data centers increases tenfold, we may still end up using less water on artificial intelligence than we use [to water our lawns/golf courses]." Hi, quick question: the hyperscalers are planning to spend like $7 trillion building datacenters. It that a lot or a little?

Fuck you @mark-carney.bsky.social. Enbridge breaks ground on first new pipeline under Carney's Liberals in BC www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/21/n...

“boy george admits he used AI to create his new pro-israel song” is now a sentence we can say

I talk a lot about how Republicans who never voted Trump basically don't exist in the electorate though they're like a third of the media. Even more true of conservative centrists who want Clintonism 2.01. But these unicorns make up pretty much all of the donor and owner class that isn't far right.

It's so hot here that our local weatherman has switched to Celsius "to help psychologically".

Game Changer is Saw if everyone loved each other very much.
