Department of Homeland Security stooge Tricia McLaughlin went on Fox News to explain why Portland needs a federal invasion. Apparently, it was overrun by imaginary hordes of 'mass assault' protesters that only the Trump administration can see. The rest of America, including...
California's lighthouses once guided gold rush ships and saved lives. Now they're mostly guiding tourists to gift shops while slowly collapsing into the Pacific. The Coast Guard has moved on to 'virtual buoys,' which is bureaucratese for 'we give up.' The elimination of...
Transportation Secretary and reality TV participant Sean Duffy says he's ready to 'shut the whole airspace down' if the remaining unpaid air traffic controllers get too tired to keep the skies safe. That's not leadership; it is extortion by incompetence. Forty years after...
Captchas have largely vanished from the web in 2025, replaced by invisible tracking systems that analyze user behavior rather than asking people to decipher distorted text or identify traffic lights in image grids. Google launched reCaptcha v3 in 2018 to generate risk scores ...
The Trump administration has recast Binance founder CZ as a martyr—and his pardon may have unintended consequences for the US crypto industry.
OpenAI has committed to buying billions of dollars worth of compute from AWS—the latest in a string of major deals brokered by the AI startup.
In this episode of Uncanny Valley, we run through the top stories of the week and dive into why the promise of a tech-forward school in Texas with software instead of teachers fell apart.

Barry Warsaw, writing for the Python steering council, has announced that PEP 810 ('Explicit lazy imports') has been approved, unanimously, by the four who could vote. Since Pablo Galindo Salgado was one of the PEP authors, he did not vote. The PEP provides a way to defer...
A developer operating under the handle @XenoPanther has stripped Windows 7 down to 69MB. The OS boots but runs almost nothing because critical files like common dialog boxes and common controls are missing. @XenoPanther described the project on X as 'more of a fun proof of...
The most widespread reaction I've seen to Amazon laying off 30,000 people from its gaming division has been 'Amazon had a gaming division?' That isn't surprising in itself; none of Amazon Games' releases (mostly generic fantasy MMOs) ever came close to breaching the...
I would say 2006's Bully was like Grand Theft Auto for kids if we weren't all playing GTA as kids anyway. Even so, this private school sandbox from the days when Rockstar actually put out more than one game a decade has held onto an enduring fan base over the years —...
I am usually up for any unholy combination of flavors that Oreos come in. Coke, Sour Patch Kids, Kyber crystal, I bought them all. But Mondelez International/Nabisco has gone too far this time with Thanksgiving Dinner Oreos. The Thanksgiving Dinner Cookie Tin contains...
I'm blown away by cellist-turned-photographer Charles Brooks' images of the interiors of rare musical instruments. Each instrument appears as if it's straight out of a dream — some look like futuristic structures, some like fantasy castles, and others like secret lairs of...
