Excellent #keynote from @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy from @pycon.us last week - "we must build the new good internet". Cory Doctorow advocates for real regulatory settings that dissuade the funnelling of technological benefits from consumers to shareholders.

Bloody shallow underground electrical cables only care about your clothes, like "are you even wearing this year's protective equipment?" and not about the true person you're on the inside, like how beautiful are your vital organs.

One of the (unintentionally) funniest ongoing bits in the Mission:Impossible franchise is that they keep casting badass beautiful women to play the female lead and then randomly off them so Tom Cruise can do a few beats of sad-eyes acting

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

As a past guest at these events, including when Obama took Trump apart, I agree. Cowards like the White House correspondent’s association need to not only “not be rewarded,” but also actively shunned.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.
