How about Mariska Hagitay kicking ass in an R-rated Liam Neeson-style action picture? I'd go see that.

After so long, it’s still possible to watch Airplane! and spot a new joke you’d never noticed.

Robert Stack on car radio on his way to the control tower.

“Keep them at 20,000… No. Feet.”

What did they think? Inches? Miles per hour? Amazing. Every time, new jokes.

Reading every word of this certainly made me uncomfortable in ways I didn’t expect. I’ve always thought of Musk as a nepo-baby that’s going through a mid-life crisis.
Over 2+ years of working on a biography of Elon Musk, I've learned that his ambitions are significantly grander than anyone realizes. He wants to be the first trillionaire ever. He wants to be the most famous human who ever lived. He wants to rule the world. He wants to live forever.

All literally.

“Consistent schedule: Look forward to a continued reliable lineup—news on Mondays, interviews mid-week, and talk shows on Fridays.”

The syntax.fm model of success! I hope it works for the Changelog folks as well! Exciting stuff!

Holy crap.
Requiring your employees to denounce violence against executives — and only executives — while calling it a “Solidarity Pledge” is some I don’t even know fuckin what

One of the biggest problems with UI development is about to be solved!

Customizable brings allows us to create totally custom dropdowns with HTML and CSS.

Accessible, gracefully degrades and requires no JS!

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

That little countdown on 2FA apps stresses the shit out of me. I feel like I'm diffusing a bomb.

If it gets into the red, I just wait. I can't handle the stress.

A good litmus test for how much you actually love yourself is dropping a roll of dog bags on the floor.

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time
