Thank god for the World Series. Thank god for the respite.

I thought Canadians are supposed to be polite

The Blue Jays are DISMANTLING the Dodgers and I’m here for it. 🇨🇦

The same ghouls who tortured Anthony Boyd to death tonight will screech and holler about how pro-life they are. Hypocritical ghouls. I hope they rot in the ground without an afterlife to wash away their mortal sins.

I dedicate this post to the formidable @annabower.bsky.social

Edinburgh castle failing to render, likely thanks to the AWS outage

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

the aws outage should be evidence that running half the internet on a single company's servers is a terrible idea but i fear nothing will change

Ah, I see they invited Erwin Schrodinger to guest-write headlines this week.

It's not a dungeon, it's a crypt. But not, like, a cool, old one full of past presidents and zombies. It was added because Stephen Miller needed a place to keep his coffin because no one would invite him into their rental properties in or around DC.

At my job we have monthly lunches where we spin a wheel and order from some random local place. Our salaries are hidden somewhere in the packaging. Sadly, after The Incident, we decided we can't order soups or stews anymore, but otherwise I just assumed this is how working professionals get paid.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

To avoid the defeatism here that allowed Putin to consolidate power through the sheer apathy of the average Russian. If it's all inevitable anyway, what's the point? No matter how fast it feels like the window is closing, *right now* we still have normal tools to reverse Trump's authoritarianism.

Here's a sad statistic: Stevie Ray Vaughan was on the planet for 13,092 days. As of today, it's been exactly 13,092 days since he died. Tomorrow, he will have been gone longer than he was here. Today would have been his 71st birthday. Did you ever see him live?

RIP Stevie Ray!

But has it been rewritten in rust yet?

I can't wait for Kash Patel to post the very real and definitely not fake text messages between Aldrin and Armstrong detailing in awkward, stilted language how they faked it.

Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel performing Pancho and Lefty? How great is this?

Realistically, yes, if your corporation is a willing collaborator with a fascist takeover of my country I don't particularly care how many people you employ. If Daimler-Benz had collapsed in the mid-1930s the Luftwaffe would have had a harder time bombing London in 1940.

This is a font joke.

I think South Park has an actual clip of him leading the charge across the desert around Khandahar.
