A billionaire enters a gas station. Seeing the "Leave a penny, take a penny" dish on the counter, he scoops up all of the coins and pockets them.

"I'm a genius," he says to the protesting clerk. "I earned this money. Anybody could have taken it, but only I had the vision to see what was possible."

What are some good terminal apps for MacOS? I need to quit #iTerm2. Not only does it have AI slop features, but it's being built with AI slop too. #FuckAI

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Transport for #Wales will introduce major improvements to rail services in North Wales from 17 May 2026. The North Wales Coast Line will see a 50% increase in services, with a new standard hourly timetable for easier journey planning. Key changes include an hourly Llandudno–Liverpool service, an extended Manchester Airport–Holyhead service, and an hourly Wrexham–Crewe service. Commuting links to Holyhead and Bangor will improve, and Valley station becomes a compulsory stop. Pay-As-You-Go ticketing will be rolled out at 15 stations, and summer services between Carmarthen and Tenby will increase.

Strong, clear, and short write-up on the social-media-addiction case that Meta and YouTube just lost. I hadn’t appreciated how important this could be: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/opinion/big-tech-meta-youtube-lawsuit.html

The ongoing discussions about whether to ban #LLM code contributions to #Drupal core can be summed up as:
Antis: Using the child-stabbing machines is bad and we shouldn't do it.
Pros: It's fine to stab children in limited and considered ways. Lots of other things are bad for kids. And how would you even know if people have stabbed children? #FuckAI

I dunno what could be worse than holding @drupalcon in the US yet again right now, multiple years into a Trump presidency.

Oh - wait - yes I do. Holding it in the US in FUCKING FLORIDA of all places 🤦‍♀️

This is beginning to feel intentionally exclusionary now…
