I've already done a post with floral tiaras but there are so many more out there that I thought this week we'd take a look at 6 more.

The invitation said, 'Dr Quick will meet you in his chambers'. It had all seemed very friendly, but Carys thought that nothing good had ever happened in a chamber. Chambers were for tests and torture and bullets. She wondered which she was in for. It didn't

Being a NYer and Knicks fan, I don't have a good perspective on how big an event the Knicks winning is. If you're not from the area, how widely is this holiday being observed and how many share the enthusiasm. Are people everywhere asking "How about those Knicks!"
The Knicks’ message is that working together works.
There will be new higher level development environments. How they work, I don't know. But much of your time working in Claude Code is telling it how to do stuff you want it to do, always -- and reminding that it that it forgot one of the rules (which it seems to always admit). A new development environment will come with rules about how to work with people. Those rules will be written with the help of psychologists who study human reasoning processes.
I’ve come to think that caring for people requires a degree of resistance to the culture around us. Not because people are bad, but because so much of the dominant culture is built around values that put profit, status, and competition ahead of human need.

I wrote a short post yesterday about AI as an alien species. Steve Mays breaks it down into its parts, and got every bit right. This is the kind of back and forth that the web is capable of..
In June of 2026, Arch Linux experienced a real hurdle: a large number of packages were taken over and turned evil. Orphaned packages (as of writing, 1,935 known packages; roughly 1.8% of the AUR) were hijacked by bad actors and loaded with malware. If you use the AUR and have done a system update in the last week, it's highly recommended that you check to see if your system has any of the infected packages, and act accordingly.
Claude added the close box I asked for yesterday. Bravo!
Everyone wants to know things humans can do better than AI systems. The answer — relate with humans. The machines have no clue how our minds work. They act as if we're just like them. They could tell you all about it, from books they read, but they've never related with humans as humans. There's a great speech by Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting, where he explains how reading about something isn't the same as living it.
