Asked Codex for a simple fix to something, and it went way off in the weeds and wrote its own Ruby and Python shell scripts to test its theory about the bug. Too thorough! Sometimes I really do just want the quick, possibly wrong answer that I can then tweak myself. 🤪

I looked in my home directory in my desktop Mac, which I don’t very often (I run a tidy operation here), and I found a file I didn’t recognise called out.html. Here is out.html. For the benefit of the tape: it is a half-baked GeoCities-style homepage complete with favourite ...

Trump’s National Design Studio has an executive order to “modernize the interfaces that serve everyday citizens”. That means rich/white people (but not the ‘disabled’ kind). The US government had digital service agencies that cared about a performant and accessible web until they got the DOGE treatment.

On Monday, President Donald Trump warned pregnant women not to take Tylenol, claiming without evidence that it was a cause of autism.

The last few times Defector staffers have gathered to read a book, we've chosen sports novels. Namely, baseball and cycling. Well, we're continuing that trend with the sport of chasing down your wife, Norma, and her lover, Dupree, who have taken off in your car with your credit cards.

That's right, we're doing Charles Portis's 1979 comic masterpiece, The Dog of the South. Bill Hader loves it. So do the Coen brothers. Some people (me) claim it's the funniest novel ever written in English. Other people (Giri) have never read it.

This week, we discuss being journalism dorks, our new lawsuit against ICE, and working on bullshit.

Well, here we are! October is creeping up on the horizon, which means it is almost time for the playoffs. Except it is not quite time yet. The final few days of regular-season baseball (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) still must be played. For many teams, these are irrelevant games. They can pick their noses in left field and nothing will change for them. But big baseball things can still happen this weekend. And for me, a lover of big baseball things, this is good and fun. Here are a few I'm keeping my eye on this weekend!

Welcome to The Backlog, a series in which we will take a look back at 12 games from 2020 that, in one way or another, had a lasting impact on the video game industry.

How much can I praise a game that I am objectively terrible at playing? That's the conundrum at the heart of this month's Backlog post. I have previously written about my struggles with the Hades franchise, so I won't recap it too thoroughly, but the takeaway is that I have been very bad at Hades since its release on Sept. 17, 2020. In the five years since, I have put in a bunch of hours but have only managed to beat the final boss a couple of times, and I consider my failures with it as one of the biggest of my gaming life, alongside my sheer ineptitude at Hollow Knight (I hope everyone is enjoying Silksong!) and all of the FromSoftware games.
