Such disappointment... 😭
Unfortunately Future Ruins will not move forward this year. The reality is, due to a number of logistical challenges & complications, we feel we cannot provide the experience that’s defined what this event was always intended to be. Rather than compromise, we’re choosing to re-think and re-evaluate.

So are the people that slow roll the stop-and-go traffic on a highway and end up smoothing out the ripples, effectively Alzheimer's of the highway? 😝

Someone put up a tile mosaic on a public building in Seattle showing a rat looking to the heavens, with the title “Hot Rat Summer.” The city painted over it. So of course, the rat showed up at a city council meeting to protest

This is a nice thread about The Onion. Thank you for saying nice things, and I can confirm the premise: If you pay your staff well, and you allow them to do what they're great at, it works better than chasing algorithms. The art is better, the truth is found easier, and—bonus!—the revenue is better.
It isn't a surprise to me that returning to print has made the Onion significantly funnier, but it is a surprise to me how *quickly* it has done so.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

You probably don't often turn to the survey methodology world for a good detective story, but here is one from my colleague Anna Brown pewrsr.ch/4isAu2s
How a glitch in an online survey replaced the word ‘yes’ with ‘forks’
Dating back to at least early 2023, a bizarre and alarming technical glitch started popping up in some organizations’ online surveys and forms.

This is the article I've been meaning to write (more poorly) myself for months, so it looks like my procrastination has paid off because now I can just point friends to this instead 😛

Kagi sees an opportunity to convince people to stop turning to Google for search, quit leaning on inconsistent AI answers, and start seeking out a smarter way to find what they need.
This scrappy search upstart is getting thousands of people to give up Google
As Google results grow cluttered and AI runs rampant on the web, Kagi is winning over disillusioned searchers with an engine that puts them first.

The Pebble smart watch was brilliant and I'm so happy it might be making a comeback! Also, it's pleasantly surprising to see that Google open-sourced the PebbleOS code.
** It's happening!! **
We managed to convince Google to open source PebbleOS. Took a while, but they just did it today! github.com/google/pebble
