Nothing says "I'm human" quite like clicking a checkbox.

This is a pretty big deal. These vaccines are personalized for your genome.

ANOTHER crazy allegation: OpenAI tricked one of Apple's partners into showing OpenAI its secret metal-finishing process, telling them that Apple had given them its permission (lol)

OpenAI's Chief Hardware Officer apparently directed former Apple employees to bring confidential hardware components TO THEIR OPENAI INTERVIEW for "show and tell." Wild... (from the court filing):

The Chicago Bulls in their entire history have 39 playoff series wins. LeBron has 42.

This is pretty impressive given that Apple does not have access to any of the indexed data, and I'd never grant a 3rd party access to most of my phone or computer data.

Watching videos of Rush playing their first show back. Could not be more impressed with their drummer Anika Nilles.

I admit whenever I see a company trying to onboard me to passkeys, I get nervous and try carefully to not sign up.

643-1!

Beato interviews Geddy Lee. Nice interview. I'm so so excited to see these guys again coming up later this year.

Neat mac app that does lots of tweaking. But the one I like is change it so clicking yellow stoplight on any app hides instead of minimizes. Also, clicking dock icon of active app hides. I rarely minimize but like hiding apps.

Big fan of the Dear Hunter. Just recently discovered them. Kinda like modern prog.

In World War I more U.S. soldiers died of influenza than from combat. In America's first 145 years of war more soldiers and sailors died from infectious diseases than from enemy action. In every single war in human history more combatants have died of illness and disease than bullets and the blade.

“We have a population that has learned — correctly — that pharmaceutical companies have lied, that institutions have failed them…But the response has not been better skepticism. It has been the migration of trust from one set of financially motivated actors to another.” Great point here

Wow - huge win across the board for plaintiff Kaley G.M. in the landmark social media addiction case against Meta and YouTube. On the heels of Meta's loss in New Mexico just the day before. www.theverge.com/policy/90065...

Funny article and kind of surprising (even that the authors hypothesized it). Go sparkling water. medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02...

Not a gamer myself, but if my kid is to believed, most of her time playing a game is just being away from the keyboard. Sure sounds like fun to me.

One of my pastimes is looking at Facebook marketplace at all the used drum kids and how ridiculously weird they are setup. These people do not play.

You’re better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

I suspect the folks at FarmArt didn't think about how their logo would look with the van doors open.

Every time I hear the Mission Impossible theme song, I think, can you believe they asked Limp Bizkit to record this theme for the second movie?

Steph Curry Finally Finishes Eating Mouthguard

Happy 41st Birthday LeBron James 🎂🎈🥳 LeBron has redefined what is possible for an NBA player in his late 30s / early 40s

Cool song by Flea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmyj...

I have several of these built. But you shouldn’t have to essentially write code to toggle a light switch.

A little ridiculous that HomeKit doesn’t support toggling lights on and off with a single button so you have to write silly little shortcuts

Give the person who thought of this the Nobel Peace Prize, please.

Yeah science for all the science, in both development and in assessing safety. Need math to make sense of the noise and anecdotes.

LeBron James put up eight points in the Lakers 123-120 win over the Raptors. It's the first time since 2007 he hasn't reached 10 points in a regular season game.

as I said on the Playback, that was the ultimate LeBron play, really. Individual streak on the line and still made the right pass

Kinda sad to see it end.

For the first time in a regular season game since Jan. 5, 2007 -- a span of 1297 games -- LeBron James has scored in single digits. He passes out of the paint to Hachimura for a buzzer-beating 3 to win, losing the streak in the process.

If I could remove any social media post that’s older than one day that contains the word “breaking”, I would definitely do so.

I’m pretty sure 1980’s era King Crimson is too weird for my dog. She keeps giving me weird looks.

One of my hobbies is looking at used drum kits on Facebook marketplace to see just how ridiculously they are set up. No person is possibly shaped to fit on some of them.

At least it’s also rendered its search function useless

16 year old nilay still watching, judging from behind a tree

Don’t they already get paid like $5000 a pitch?

This is getting to be a problem.

Very much enjoyed the Billie Eilish billionaire shade. I hope this increases.

Not a slant to basketball, which I love, but this excludes the 10 million Canadians that tuned into Sportsnet to watch game 7. Maybe the most watched anything in Canadian history.

I’d have liked that season more if the Jays had won that game, sure. But kind of in the same way that I’d have liked a filet mignon more if it had one more bite. It was still pretty fucking good!
