"Who Goes MAGA" by Mike Masnick is pretty good.

"The Normie" is the one I worry most about; I have so. many. friends who have said just that kind of thing -- hell, my dad was a bit like that ! -- for me to be relaxed around the attitude. https://www.techdirt.com/2025/07/08/who-goes-maga/

What I want to know is, does John Oliver walk the walk? Is his show / he himself on Fedi?

Oh gods, right, in a few weeks we'll be inundated with “BLANK of the year" and “BLANK in the new year" posts.

Ugh.

@cstross I feel like you're already treading this ground a bit with the Laundry Files, but yeah, I'd read the shit out of something that both a) took this on and b) took it seriously. I feel like the temptation to play it as a joke would be hard to get past for a writer.

Whatever you think about the killing of the insurance company CEO a few days back, I think we can all agree that the amount of effort being put into finding this killer far outstrips the amount of effort put into solving the murder of "regular people".

@vaurora even without ADHD, I haaaaaaate doing expenses. May your concentration never flag.

Now that Transgender Day of Remembrance is behind us, I want all of my trans friends and trans no-relations to know that I will also remember you the rest of the year.

@cstross STOP PREDICTING, CHARLIE

@glyph @hynek @brettcannon you forgot:

HOA: how dare you attempt to make filthy capital out of this massive project that you devote your days to!

Now I think I have a reason.

“Kids need to get answers from humans who love them”

Neal Stephenson, personally putting a stake in the heart of the AI industry's claim to a moral high ground in education.

@annika @phildini ... I'm very curious, what's the post?

Play La Bamba, baby! #GoOil #HNOM

I think we really missed an opportunity a couple of years ago when we didn't call NFTs “grift certificates”.

Protect #trans kids... and as we go into Father's Day weekend, fellow dads, it's your job to do this. Whether it's your kid who's trans, or someone else’s.

(I'm not CW'ing this toot, but the article? Yeah, that has some rough stuff in it. Don't click if you're not okay with a discussion of Texas politics)

@nova I've noticed you folks have some excellent grafana dashboards for sidekiq. I've been having a hard time finding reliable search results covering how to get that... is that something you and your team have checked in somewhere so I could crib from it?
