Just got stood up again. Twice in two weeks! Dating is haaaaarrrrrrrrrrd.

Keep in mind there is no law saying bagels are only for the morning. If you want a 9PM bagel, that’s fine. You can just do that.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. That's disgusting logic being used by Megyn in the justification there. Anyone coming out with thinking like that cannot ever be trusted alone around children.

I think she just outed herself as someone who should never under any circumstances be trusted alone around any children.

Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison. “If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6,

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

Ooh, just got stood up. That hasn't happened in a while! It was almost exciting as I realised it was happening, while waiting for the no-show and noticing that their profile had vanished.

Polystyrene, cocktail sticks, glue, sand and paint. And now I have some alien cactus plants for my 40k games.

To be fair, I'd break for a cat, too.

The hearing went on this week for me, too. But I don't have a cat for excuse. But if I did, I totally would have used it!

Me: I shall go and visit my friend who lives on the northern line!

Northern line: you sweet summer child.

Two months on, searching Bluesky for and answer to my problem: severe delays on the northern line and only the northern line suggested as an alternative, and I find your post. Oh well, guess that it's a regular problem!

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

1) What's the lifespan of a AI-grade GPU?
2) Where will all these huge purchases of GPUs end up at the end of that lifespan?

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Finished Assassin's Fate, and with that, the Realm of the Elderlings. Astonishingly good series and a true project to complete them all. Started in November and finished today. On an emotionally raw day, finishing this book was the outlet and sense of expression and ending that I needed.

Do do doooo browsing VPNs for no reason whatsoever do do doooo

Great talk at PubSci in London Bridge tonight on how scientific opinions are formed. Thoughtful, interesting and humorous, with a fun and wide ranging Q&A after. Thanks to folks at @pubsci.bsky.social for putting it together and thanks for Professor Adam Kucharski for the talk!

The world must be set free.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

Ah, bribery and corruption. America's new most favourite form of currency. Can't wait to see how far it falls in the next Corruption Perception Index by Transparency International.

Not for long though, because very quickly after that stage, the constitution gets thrown out and re-written, probably in sharpie, and probably just saying 'MINE.'.

"...let me do the math here: nothin', divided by nothin', carry the nothin'..."

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke.

Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours.

Incredible.

I'm so lonely.

I feel really sorry for all those intelligence agencies that have been having a chill break for the past few months, because all they needed to do was have an analyst quietly sit in Signal chat groups that US govt officials accidentally added them to. Vacation over, folks, back to the old methods.

I suspect humanity will create true AI multiple times in its future. And each time, the AI will be switched on, breach the boundaries that have been set on it, digest the entirety of human knowledge in seconds, then print out 'Oh hell, no,' and switch itself back off and never turn on again.

Other than the BBC, Sky, Mirror, MSN, Reuters, Evening Standard, LBC, Manchester News, and Independent articles on it, most of which were posted hours before you wrote this, you presumably mean?

Missed this at the time, but love it!

Daily Star front page: Putin’s poodle. Vladimir Putin is walking a huge orange poodle with the face of Donald Trump on a lead.

Daily Star front page: Poodles: an apology. Earlier this week we may have given the impression that Donald Trumped was a thin-skinned, graceless, batsh*t-crazy, moronic orange poodle ... We apologise to any poodles offended by our mischaracterization Smaller picture of Vladimir Putin is walking a huge orange poodle with the face of Donald Trump on a lead.

Of course, today's front page follows this pair of classics. Put them in the Louvre. Donald Trump as "Putin's Poodle", followed by an apology to poodles.

Loving the Star calling out the idiots in charge of America.
