Slouching Towards Sensemaking

Slouching Towards Sensemaking There’s a particular quality to the confusion of our current moment that reminds me of standing in Dolores Park at dusk, watching fog roll in from Twin Peaks while the Mission stays stubbornly sunny. We’re between weather systems, between worlds. The old information order – built on broadcast towers and printing presses, gatekeepers and institutions – is visibly dissolving. The new one hasn’t quite condensed into recognizable forms yet. We’re in the interregnum, an

If you’re anything like most people, you’ve probably lost a charger or two over the years, bent a few cords, or found yourself with a slow adapter that just doesn’t keep up anymore. It’s normal. But it doesn’t have to persist. You could just keep things where you’ll remember them. But hey, that’s easier said than done.

There are a few very modern inconveniences that we just can’t escape. Never being 100% sure what the cables in that bag are for. Wanting more days off, but also wanting more money. Always needing a bit more coffee to get you through the day. One of the most frustrating ones is about running out of storage digitally, which is only becoming more common as file sizes increase.

Sharp pencils for hard times

theverge.com Allison Johnson 2025-08-19 13:00:00

Allison Johnson is a reviewer for The Verge who writes about phones and mobile technology. “Occasionally,” she adds, “I yell at your wireless carrier.” I asked her if there were any items that she especially liked using, and after thinking about it, she eventually came up with… a pencil sharpener. Where did you first hear about the Blackwing One-Step Long Point Sharpener? Last year, I told my husband all I wanted for Christmas was a nice pencil sharpener — and he understood the assignment. In

TVs can be pretty darn expensive nowadays. Sure, they’re better than ever, but keeping on the cutting edge will cost a lot, and sometimes high-end features are just going to be wasted on what you want the TV for anyway. There are a lot of times when you’d be better off going for a more budget option that’ll get the job done without all of the bells and whistles, but even then, you might be looking at a couple of hundred bucks. It’s a good job that deals come around here and there then, isn’t it?

Researchers Uncover Hidden Ingredients Behind AI Creativity

We were once promised self-driving cars and robot maids. Instead, we’ve seen the rise of artificial intelligence systems that can beat us in chess, analyze huge reams of text and compose sonnets. This has been one of the great surprises of the modern era: physical tasks that are easy for humans turn out to be very difficult for robots, while algorithms are increasingly able to mimic our intellect.

If you live with pets, you know how quickly fur, crumbs, and dust seem to collect in every corner of your home. Even when you’ve just cleaned, there always seems to be another clump of hair under the table or a fine layer of dirt around the baseboards. It’s kind of the life you’ve chosen when you think about it, because you invited pets into your home. But that doesn’t mean you should have to be punished for living with adorable, furry animals.
