Yeah, but here's the thing, peon. My time is important and yours is not.
What on Earth? You're posting an article about the same thing we're already discussing. If you want to contribute to the conversation you owe it to the people who are taking time out of their day to engage with you to read the material under discussion.
Somewhere in time and space, things are happening.
Where in the world is Zagreb?
Is NVDA popping off tonight?
Sometimes the grand jury doesn't indict the ham sandwich.
Finished Shift (Silo book 2) and it was okay, but honestly enjoyed the author's postscript as much as anything in the book.
Intrepid reporter dares to venture inside a Cracker Barrel to find out if Uncle Herschel is cancelled. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2025/08/26/cracker-barrel-logo-peg-game-controversy/
I missed putting this in the changelog, but honk 1.5.2 supports inlining mastodon quoots, so we are all set for takeoff.
Going forward, I suggest you concentrate on what's beneath your feet. No more of this business with the stars, okay, son? We know where most of them are.

Mama foundation is like I can't believe the mind control mutant controlled minds. Has she not been reading the memos?

Anyway, if you're looking for a new restaurant with quirky aw shucks charm and a fun yellow logo: Potbelly! They only have 427 locations, which makes them 35% less corporate than Cracker Barrel (658 locations).

Big Sesame says put me in all the breads.

I'm staring at the new Cracker Barrel logo trying to figure out what makes it so woke. Like, oh no, imagine walking into a store and your children see this logo. Definitely worth seething over. What if they grow up thinking this is normal? This is the future liberals want.
Feature request: replace block button with balefire that retroactively eliminates target from reality.
"blocked-by-Mastodon-in-retaliation doesn't have any public repositories yet." Maybe someday.
Really amazing that the mastodon team could not be persuaded to fix this eloquent and thoughtful bug report.
I agree that it's various kinds of dumb that Facebook suspended Neal Stephenson for impersonating someone famous, but it's unclear how this proves they didn't read Snow Crash. Are the very smarts expecting every social network to ban people based on a virtual sword fight? You read Snow Crash and decided that's how things should work?
"I don't have any sources, but it's basically established fact now."
Your best friend's psychic says to buy crypto. What should you do? Consult your own psychic, obviously. https://www.wsj.com/articles/taylor-thomson-ashley-richardson-billionaire-court-crypto-ccb51865
"Y Combinator says Apple's App Store has hindered startup growth" Extraordinary claim considering everybody uses Android. YC's official news site, HN, has never even seen a person using an iPhone.
Would be nice if a single news article about bernie's plan to take equity in Intel would mention he voted no on the original chips act, instead of making me look that up.
Something I just noticed on iOS. Pushing the volume buttons draws a small black outline on the side of the screen, as if the screen were pushed in.
The drugs you have a resistance to are not in the pills, Donny. The reason people stop taking the pills is because they begin to remember, not the other way around.
All this talk about bluesky bailing on Mississippi, but nobody mentions whether twitter complies? Imagine a journalist who journals.
The 200 IQ reader will note that at no point in this article about college expenses does it mention the subject's parents' income. https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/college-cost-financial-aid-3b3df06d
It's not communism, it's national security socialism. https://www.wsj.com/tech/trump-to-announce-u-s-taking-nearly-10-stake-in-intel-1a38225d
Stochastic stoicism.
"By taking part of a discussion about the editor, they are contributing." Have you ever wanted to contribute to a project, but didn't know where to start? Just start yapping about the features you want. Now you're a contributor.
Mindlessly repeating a story about a dumb thing an AI did 10 years ago as if it happened yesterday is also pretty dumb.
You and your three friends, a fox girl, a goat boy, and a cabbage kid, are trying to cross the river but you only have one canoe. They're all friends, not cannibals. How do you get across?
Going to revise my captcha scheme to make the user drag and drop a bunch of anime characters into the correct cat/dog boy/girl quadrant.
Oh, noes, the bots are solving my challenges. It's definitely still blocking many more stupid crawlers, but interesting. All that work to end up with a 500 error anyway because that file revision doesn't exist. Heh.

Holy smokes, the Tavis Anubis thread made it to 800 comments on HN. Literally nothing more important to discuss than whether it's a cat or a jackal.
