I’m looking to join 1 or 2 fantasy football dynasty leagues. Message me if you have an orphan or are looking to start a new league. Not too picky about size or rules as long as the league is chill.

Sweet baby Moses. So he took the trade deficit with each country and divided by total imports. Then took half of that. And that's the new tariff! ... Or 10%.

Thank you to the Domino’s Pizza scientists for going to extra mile to test the bounds of the theory that even when pizza is bad, it’s still pretty good.

No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you should be appalled that a billionaire thinks he has the right to buy elections like this.

On Tuesday I edited a story about the FTC firings. Readers took issue with our framing — not just us, but other publications as well. And you know what? Y'all were right. www.theverge.com/policy/63339...
We ran the wrong headline about the fired FTC commissioners
Our readers have a point.

I’m not proud to admit it but I ordered Taco Bell the other day. I asked for 2 Diablo sauce packets and got the following. I’m only a few more orders away from a viral internet math problem.

Just finished “Soonish” by @zachweinersmith.bsky.social and @weinersmith.bsky.social and it renewed some of my optimism about the future, a resource that has been sorely lacking the last few months.

#AI coding tools have come a long way. Since my day job hasn't involved much coding for years, I wanted to spin up a project to see what all the fuss was about. Using nothing but free tools, #VSCode with the #CodeGPT extension, I was able to bang out a prototype application in about an hour.

I’d bet money that someone is, at this moment, trying to talk Trump out of including his memecoin in the crypto reserve.
Trump and Musk are doing a $350 billion pump and dump with your tax money. Trump’s “Crypto Reserve” is a money laundering scheme and you are being robbed blind.

Team: “Ok, can you point to the open source policy so we can try to find another compliant library?”

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows.
As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.
