So the 15 tracks released for the Protomen Act III Pre-order are absolutely incredible. Even without the liner notes, the story the album paints is beautiful and tragic. I can only hope there's another track or two waiting for the full album release because yikes, that ending...

Assuming the Steam Frame is reasonably priced (and actually comes out) I'm getting one.

And to be clear, "reasonably priced" would be under $600, preferably under $500, GABE.

If anyone wants to explain the purple category in today's Connections to me, I'd appreciate it. I can't imagine anyone guessed it for any reason other than "probable surnames", but the actual connection they give for it makes like 0 intuitive sense.

This is what pivoting right to "win" always accomplishes.
”If Keir Starmer had sought to hold the door open for Nigel Farage, he couldn’t have done a better job. He has manufactured disillusionment and alienation on an industrial scale. By adopting Farage-like positions on asylum and immigration, he legitimises Reform while delegitimising Labour.”

It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

As an IT guy who constantly advises against cloud-based solutions in favor of on-premise solutions, I'm feeling pretty vindicated today.

If Fuentes' 4channer fascist movement is found to be a primary source of radicalization for Charlie Kirk's assassin, his trial is going to be a disaster for that entire ecosystem, and it's going to be interesting to see what that ecosystem looks like in the aftermath.

Sometimes I feel like the only nerd who's bullish on Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom. Like, I get the kneejerk reaction to the optics, and it certainly COULD go badly. But like... if he had never been cast as Iron Man I feel like we wouldn't find this casting weird.

Nate Silver’s thoughts on Bluesky culture, a platform he insists he does not read, are worth pretty much what you’d expect based on that information.

Man who thought Marco Rubio was a shoe-in for the 2016 election and got fired from ABC believes he understands what appeals to average people because he looks at lines on charts.

As someone who has spent too much time looking at Nate Silver's lines on charts, they're not actually all that helpful.
What is Blueskyism?
And why is it so toxic for political persuasion?
