If you've ever played Mastermind this is maybe the best thing on @mcsweeneys.net this year. Every line is spot on. Also, I might have PTSD from every time I ever lost at this game.
"Smug is the emotional tone of Mastermind. I want the buyer to feel judged by the box. Like the box is already disappointed in them. If you don’t want smug, don’t name the game Mastermind. This isn’t fucking checkers. This is a duel in a seminar room at Davos."

In a sane world this would be illegal discrimination.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

10 scientific truths that somehow became unpopular in 2025
Scientific truths exist independently of public opinion.
But when we disbelieve them, we embrace misinformation instead, and that harms more than most of us realize.

I need help. Zim needs your help I should say. She has a broken tooth so I think they want to pull it. Since it's dental, it's surgery. And they said to help her, it's gonna cost close to $500.
Wouldn't ask, but it's for Zim. I have to help her before the bad tooth makes her sick.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

People don't understand what is meant by "literacy" and the "literacy crisis".
Literacy isn't just not being able to physically read. Many people know how to see words and say words, which is basic reading. Literacy is being able to infer the correct information from what you read.

If anyone knows of a good resource to get A4 or A5 parchment document paper, let me know. The search is irritating me.
When I search for something on Amazon, like say A4 or A5 paper, I mean I literally want that size paper and not pretend Americanized versions that have been marked inappropriately. A5 is NOT 8.5” x 11” paper.
I’m driving myself into a tizzy trying yo figure out if any of these listings are right.

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

It is genuinely impossible for us to imagine what a world where nearly *half of us* don’t make it to 16 years old! and the general comfort/expectation level all societies had about it! but yet: was the basic experience of almost everyone from our great-grandparents backwards…forever! everywhere!

This thread is me sharing how I deal with prioritizing self care when I'm too fatigued or depressed to do self-care but I need to do self-care to stop being fatigued/depressed. Breaking it down to be as simple as possible in case you're on your last brain cell (and therefore most in need of it).
