Do you remember how embarrassing it was that the NYT got the Mamdani Columbia admissions thing from an open and proud Nazi who goes by the handle "Crémieux"? That guy isn't a hacker. The hacker uses a handle containing the n-word. The NYT, is exactly the paper you'd think it is.

We have a @lopatto.bsky.social piece on the hacker who breached Columbia and acquired Zohran Mamdani's college application. It's not great for NYT to be using hacked materials originating from an anime Nazi but this part especially stuck out to me. www.theverge.com/cyber-securi...

Love this meditation on the the playful glitchiness of DK Bananza by Christian Donlan. "Nintendo makes nearly perfect games, games that seem hermetically sealed... But within that, rather subversively, Nintendo also revels in the idea of allowing the player to go out of bounds."

Somehow managed to turn on a collision debug mode on Bananza on my retail Switch 2 and... all the colliders are banana shaped. I can't imagine that being the optimal collision shape, but it works for them I guess.

@toothyteena

The tour companies need to be more transparent and do better!!! Emerald Cove isn’t green 24/7- ONLY FOR 2 hours when it’s got sunlight inside: being oversold and no training for paddlers makes this waterway unsafe for us all. As a local you know better yet cash is king.
