Happy Saturday, everyone! Here on Global Nerdy, Saturday means that it’s time for another “picdump” — the weekly assortment of amusing or interesting pictures, comics, and memes I found over the past week. Share and enjoy! Demonstrators gather for a protest outside SpaceX and Starlink facilities in Redmond,...
One of Zohran Mamdani's signature policy initiatives just launched -- a tax on pied-Ă -terres. The tax would apply to second homes (i.e., those not occupied as a primary residence) worth over $1 million.I won't claim to be a housing (or tax) policy expert, but this seems perfectly reasonable to me. Admittedly, given...
Not too sure when they got rid of the penny but it was my first time experiencing it since the amount in circulation has supposedly dwindled Some shops round up or down depending on what they have on hand and most usually tell you if they won’t be giving you back the right changeMy worst experience was at Brug, my...
The reliable way to deal with AI-assisted cheating in an interview is not to prove that somebody used AI. It is to collect enough evidence that they can do the job: probe a specific decision, watch them work through a real problem, change a constraint, and ask them to test their own answer.

Natural disasters occur all over the US, and part of the role of the federal government is to help out states in recovery. Except

Contra the previous post, just spotted this “Same settings, new look!” callout in Firefox, on a page I have never visited before, talking about a feature I have never used: I mentioned this once – when you get someplace new, everything is new. This redesign announcement’s conditions were engineered poorly, because...
The people who ruined sleeping in Men randomly showed up at my house again one morning this week. This is the part of renovations I knew I wasn't going to like. The unreasonable expectation that I should be awake when everybody else is. I spent over a decade waking up earlier and earlier trying to...Read More
Hola Darling Ones, When I turned 26 during my AOL days (geminmat@aol.com, y’all) in June of 1998 a guy I was IMing with on the reg wrote me a song. The only thing I remember is it ended with “you’re twenty-six years old.” It was a sweet gesture and I treated it like the cherished artifact it was. I downloaded that...
Hi! I’m back from Rhode Island, having spent less than a week there, hanging out with family, and taking a bit of a working vacation. The weather was lovely; it was nice to be outside for a change, even if it was still with my laptop. This month marked my two-year anniversary at Mobius. It’s wild how much has...
