For a few years, Maggie Nelson was everywhere. The celebrated autotheorist is the voice of, if not a generation, a meaningful corner of one; her 2015 memoir The Argonauts is one of the rare unifying must-reads of the millennial intelligentsia. Nelson is omnipresent within he...

Without much of a spoiler, this end of this week's Pluribus made me both emotional and aroused at the same time. People complain because after the first two or three episodes they thought it was going to be an adventure, like Last of Us or Lost, but it turned out to, at least for now, be more thoughtful and emotional, and sexy.

Some time ago, released the Gemini CLI (Command Line Interface) tool that is pretty impressive. Unlike many AI tools, the

The post Coding With the Gemini CLI Tool appeared first on The New Stack.

Honestly, I don’t know to whom this letter is directed. God? Harvard? (I’m taking a deep, strengthening breath here) Will Hunting himself? My employer-provided therapist told me to do this, and the university committee says to do whatever she says. For many years now, I have...

I wonder if the VCs would fund an entirely fictitious implementation of Twitter with AI of course. All the other people can be exactly the kind of people who make you feel good. On "Your Own Twitter," or perhaps "TWTR 4 U" you'd have the most followers of anyone. Elon Musk would kiss your ass. You could change reality at will, have Trump removed from office and watch the MAGAs wail in pain. You could say absolutely whatever you like and never be cancelled. Don't laugh, I bet this happens.

President Trump erupted Thursday in a wild rage on Truth Social in which he appeared to blame pollsters for failing to register his world-historical success. “When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time?” he fumed. Notably, this comes jus...

President Trump has overseen an aggressive foreign policy, including harsh words about Europe and a lethal military campaign in the Caribbean. Last week, the White House unveiled its new national security strategy, which made Mr. Trump’s true goals clear and alarmed countrie...

Trump is desperately trying to get you to not think about your prices being higher. Why this lie is so much harder to believe than all the others - and Joe explains why the numbers keep getting worse for Trump. His "weave" ain't working this time, folks.  And why is this week's Supreme Court ruling so scary - now that Trump can fire "independent" federal regulators? And what's the most corrupt thing that's happened this year? Why Joe thinks it's so much more than the crypto thing...

If A-spot stimulation doesn't mean much to you, the Pleasure Puff likely won't excite.

Tonight was a lot of threads connecting for me. At Automattic’s Noho Space we hosted an event for Martin Scorsese’s new documentary about Pope Francis, called Aldeas. There was a point in my life when I wanted to become a priest, and I had been inspired by meeting a Franciscan seminary student. I took it … Continue reading Aldeas →

Happy we got the new Android update out today. I worked on a few other web things tonight, queued up as pull requests to deploy in the morning. I think we’ve had a good pace of improvements lately, before things slow down a little for the holidays. Tomorrow: photo challenge announcement. ❄️
