From the group: "Just to save you time, the only way you can lose is by trying to hold Melania's hand. But its the Middle East, so you can't win either."/
NEW: Secret Handshake installed working arcade games called Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell at the DC War Memorial.
The game features "furious tweet battles against Iranian schoolgirls, low-flow shower heads, and other threats to American freedom like DEI and The Pope..."
A wonderful sentence from this story, describing the video of the man who threw a rock at a seal for no reason getting beat up by a local: "Meanwhile, an unidentified gentleman begins wailing on him."
Dickhead apparently said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine," but was unaware that the fine would be collected with a series of punches to his skull. Some things money can't buy.
People shocked Moderna explored a mRNA #hantavirus vaccine don’t understand infectious disease preparedness.
Hantaan & Seoul viruses are endemic in South Korea & cause Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome. Vaccines for priority pathogens are developed long before the public hears about them.
If you lose a lot of weight suddenly you often gain it back just as quickly. However, this isn’t true in all cases, such as being cut in half by a mysterious ronin who appeared to have not even unsheathed his katana
Sure, the normal people playing aren't noticing so much that they universally "he" that character... but I'd argue that this unobtrusiveness is the correct way to do representation.
One thing I appreciate about Saros, having played it and watched streamers play it, is that normal people don't even notice that one of the characters is a they/them whose pronouns are respected by everyone else in-game, even the heartless corporation.
It's funny, I've been playing Saros, which is a harder game than Crimson Desert and I've been dying much more in it, and not once have I yelled "what the fuck are you even doing! just fucking move! you fuckwit!" at the screen because I'm frustrated at the character's movement 🤔
In a terrible position wherein I want to play Saros because Rahul Kohli is awesome, but I don't want to play Saros because the gameplay loop is not my jam
Listening to the Portland In-N-Out buzz on today's @citycastportland.bsky.social podcast, and wondering if there's some way to drum up enough excitement for White Castle to come here instead
iOS 26.4.2 dropped today, addressing the thing where old notifications (like from signal) stayed cached on the device and were retrievable via forensics
this was predictable, but i don't feel all that good about it. among other things, if she can't fly out of the country she's just gonna wind up driving more.
This is right up there with when I forgot the name of the movie "Requiem for a Dream" and searched "movie with Jennifer Connolly ass to ass" and it gave me the correct IMDB page

The lesson of Y2K was this: if you fix the problem and do a very good job, you will be treated like you didn’t do anything and that the problem wasn’t real to begin with.
New plan: Be a completely selfish sociopath and when people call me out, respond like an LLM.
"You're absolutely right, I did slap your baby and steal groceries out of your cart. I should not have done that. I have apologized to the baby and put the items back." (I keep the groceries and slap the baby again.)
for those tracking John Carmack's descent into right wing total moral disorientation, he's now at "Palmer Luckey should buy Wired and do to it what Elon Musk did to Twitter". he's full fash at this point. totally gonna deliver AGI by 2030 though. increasingly disgusting that he named his shitass company after Commander Keen, a joyful little video game from before he became a millionaire and was empowered to become his worst self.
I got sick of trying to open my map in Crimson Desert and accidentally changing the view to the main character's goofy ass budget bin Verso face, so I made this
Perhaps his fear center in the amygdala was activated while his reasoning center in the prefrontal cortex was impaired? Or maybe he just became mean and weird.
June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”
March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”
UPDATE (2026-03-02): This toot has gotten a lot more attention than what I would ever anticipate. Some clarifications are needed. A follow up is here: https://infosec.exchange/@dazo/116158898983233133
PSA: The Amazon wishlist doxing threat is much greater and more immediate than folks might realize. Attack works like this:
Stalker who wants your address opens an Amazon seller account and lists themselves as a third party seller for any item on your public wishlist. Then, they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Bam, they have your address.
In particular, attack does not depend on an existing third party seller having poor PII handling hygiene, like the articles have implied.

JP![from March 28-30th 2026, Palmer Luckey is quoting a WIRED post about a story it ran.
WIRED: "Like Trae said, we spoke to 37 former and current Anduril workers, in addition to investors, experts, and former military officials, for this deeply reported story, which you should read: https://www.wired.com/story/andurils-real-war-is-with-itself "
Luckey: "This 'deeply reported' piece from WIRED is inexcusably bad. First, it is just wrong. Not nitpicky things, fundamentally false jabs and premises. Second, it completely ignores the stakes of supporting active troops to push r/antiwork softboy talking points. Examples below."
John Carmack responds to Lucky: "It would be delightful if you pulled an [Elon Musk], bought WIRED, and changed the editorial tone to Technological Triumphalism. Then maybe do MIT Technology Review."](https://cdn.masto.host/pdxsocial/cache/media_attachments/files/116/355/757/115/545/554/small/3d0cf1d79dab4a6d.png "from March 28-30th 2026, Palmer Luckey is quoting a WIRED post about a story it ran.
