Talking about how free kids used to be. Yes, working parents in Harlem had nowhere to leave their kids during the day. ‘the children had little choice but to “roam the streets while their parents are worried half to death wondering where they are.”’ Such a romantic time!

This level of anti-competitive behaviour from Anthropic and the other firms should be made illegal. The power disparities in AI are already stark, baking them in a way so that they can never be levelled is malicious. jonready.com/blog/posts/clau…

The value of real skills is going up day by day for those of us who have them. Learning things *is* hard but that's the whole reason people go to universities. Nobody needs a university education to ask Claude to do their work for them. dailycal.org/news/campus/aca…

A beautiful story of how iteration on an app is a process that's worth it and that can yield something close to perfection like with Pedometer . I wish every app had a person like this behind it who goes the distance and sweats every detail. david-smith.org/blog/2026/04…

Great timing everybody retiring the r-word! Otherwise we’d be using it non stop right now.
“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.

Berlin needs a Mamdani and then it too can have a glow up. Not dipshit mayor after dipshit mayor.

It should surprise nobody that ed tech is mostly an excuse to shovel money to whoever has an open line to the politicians making decisions at the moment. economist.com/united-states/…

Let's say if anybody would look at Veronika Grimm for a plan or any kind of reason, they'd be looking for a long long time.

Sovereign Tech Fund investing in KDE points towards some concerted effort into weaning Europe off big tech. KDE has come a long way and with a bunch more more pushes like this, it could become a more than worthy alternative to Windows. kde.org/announcements/sovere…

It's not so clear cut as it's made out to be here. Of course writing code should never have been your bottleneck to begin with. What LLMs have done is to remove “I need to write the code” as an excuse.

In our local ghetto Lidl it seems customary for people to go through the open tubs of strawberries and while fondling all of them repack them into something they are willing to purchase. Wash your strawberries well and enjoy!

Europe is really backward in a ton of areas. Come to Berlin and see what passes for a "sports bar" here.
