Heroes don't always wear capes.
I work at an indie bookstore and there’s a guy who orders hundreds dollars of books at a time because he’s worried that books will be abolished and he doesn’t want knowledge to be lost.

The dotcom bubble popped because the investors had 10s, sometimes 100s of millions.

The companies and people behind AI have hundreds of billions at their disposal.

This bubble is going to be a lot harder to pop, and that is assuming they even let it pop.
I still think the internet is the best comp for AI. It was a bubble that popped, but the underlying tech turned out to be real. It enabled a bunch of psychosis and slop, but also some genuinely cool stuff. Massive labor market disruptions, but employment levels look about the same.

This is why Donald Trump is president.

Man I got spoiled by NHL game coverage. The Olympics coverage is shit, just shit. Is there any site that does the games like TSN or even the NHL site does for NHL games?

And given how important goal differential is why is TSN the only site that includes that in their standings?

Politicians want you to own a car. It’s that simple. Have you ever heard of a road audit? No. No you haven’t. This is rage-baiting shit and pathetic that people advocating for this are being elected and not utterly shamed into oblivion. Fucking pathetic

Newsom making throwing away homeless person's belongings, into a smiling photo op was his Trump mocking a disabled reporter moment.

If you support these people, you can fuck straight off, when you get there, keep fucking off.
Anyone who actually paid attention during mass took one look at what Newsom did to the homeless and went, "Wow, that guy would have beat Lazerus to death with his bare fists just for being homeless. He's definitely going to hell."

Another in the list of absolutely vile things happening in the US. I have known women that have suffered miscarriages and every single one of them has been devastated.

Criminalizing them is just another in a long list of cruel behaviour of the current administrations in that country.
NEW: For the second time in 2026, Kentucky state police have charged a woman with homicide after a pregnancy loss.

Both were criminalized after seeking medical care—one for a miscarriage and one for self-managed abortion—and face charges of abuse of a corpse and concealing a birth @autonomynews.co
Second Kentucky Woman in 6 Weeks Charged With Homicide After Pregnancy Loss
Both women were criminalized after they sought medical care, one for a miscarriage and one for self-managed abortion.

I wanted the NHL in the Olympics to see players I was familiar with. That was the extent I wanted the NHL in the Olympics. Adding NHL officials to international play is a fucking travesty. Taking players like Wilson and Bennet should be a serious detriment for a serious team. Fight me.

I have said this repeatedly. Democrats would still be deporting your brown neighbours, they would just be doing it quietly. Democrat supporters are more interested in decorum than they are human life.

Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

The goal differential things makes you feel a bit bad for the weaker teams in the tournament tbh. I normally don't give a shit about running up the score, especially in the NHL. But here it just feels... kinda gross.

@gdinnes.bsky.social why did Slovakia win Group B? Finland with the same record but they were +11 in goal differential. Slovakia and Sweden both at +2?

It feels like it should have been Finland, Sweden and then Slovakia since Sweden beat Slovakia head to head.

The democrats showing how much better they are than the fascists by bragging about doing the same things the fascists are doing, but slightly nicer, and certainly not as publicly.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
