"What's that dark part over there?"
"That is Euston, my son - you must never go there."

Euston’s great because over the tannoy they say running anywhere in the station is forbidden, and then release the platform number for your train 30 seconds before it’s due to depart.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Streamins service UI is increasingly bad deliberately. It's dark UX patterning as access to show catalogues narrows.
If you let the user search, they will look for shows you no longer have (or never had).
The goal is to hijack that journey and force a show they'll feel is 'okay' in front of them.

I do not know what editors are supposed to do about the flood of AI-generated pitches. I can't be the only editor who's been caught out once or twice over my career by a writer (or a source) who was making something up. Now you can make up a whole article in seconds.

Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

The hidden chemical attack that forced the Northern line’s extraordinary repair
Thirty years ago, an entire section of the Northern line had to be replaced because it was under attack from acid, and hardly anyone noticed that it was happening.

Three flavours of mouse - click, click, click!
I remembered that Eye of the Beholder for MCD has mouse support, and here it is in three different flavours: JPN, NA, and EUR.
Dwells in the shadow of its SNES rival in terms of being remembered, but a fresh spotlight gleams on its sleek black body.

According to the Wiki, Freakazoid has "Enhanced strength, endurance, speed, and agility, as well as **access to all of the Internet's knowledge**"
Which, yeah, sure, in 1997, would be a super cool power.
But here, in 2025?
Is Freakazoid Alright now?
