South Korea promises to
'communicate closely' with US over warship request UK 'intensively looking' at how to help reopen strait says energy secretary EU ministers to discuss naval mission option for Strait of Hormuz, says official Hurdle 'very high' for Japan to send warships, says senior politician

Personally, my favorite allied-country expression of naval non-commitment is “intensively looking”. What’s yours?

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

It's hard to believe that this is the first in the world, but damn, can we follow their precedent?

The frothing noise my Nespresso machine makes is the exact same sound as the very end of Karma Police, by Radiohead. Drives my wife nuts that I robotically transition into 'Fitter...Happier...More Productive.." everytime I'm making a coffee.

Makes a mockery of "mutual obligation". If the government wants more unemployed why should the unemployed have to jump through hoops to receive benefits?

If for some reason a totally pointless war with Iran becomes a financial Rube Goldberg machine that pops the AI bubble that’d probably be among the funniest ways it could end.

I'm not sure your definition of "simple" is the same as mine.

TRUMP: in the UK you have to marry windmills now. it's illegal not to. I asked my friend Nigel about the sexy windmills and he said "sorry Mr President my name isn't Nigel now, it's Mrs Windmill." Why? A certain Prime Minister called Sharia Law. Very bad.

one of the dumbest possible outcomes here is that donald ends up remembered as a senile, directionless fascist and pedophile who, completely unwittingly, blundered his way into forcing the rapid decarbonization of the global economy

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

A job offering by Giant Freaking Robot to hire a freelance writer who hates Starfleet Academy to write hate articles about the show

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

I think it's simultaneously this and the fact that many enthusiasts seem to have a narrow sense of what job tasks are/can look like. There's a lot of "you don't understand what AI can do" coming at some of us and a legitimate response is "you don't understand what I can do, and need to, in my job."

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Starlog #237, from 1997, in which you see the last shot of Empire Strikes Back except instead of looking at space, Luke Leia and the droids are looking at a giant angry George Lucas head. Also there's a blurb reading "DAVID CRONENBERG DEFENDS HIS KINKY "CRASH""

now THIS, my friends, is how you design a magazine cover
