My Bolt Thrower LP arrived today but I can't listen to it because my turntable is covered in unpainted Tyranids. #warhammerproblems

the sweaty desperation of Hollywood studios to try and find SOME way to spin “Sinners” as a flop to keep other artists from following Coogler’s brilliant example just looks more and more absurd with each passing day as we see what the actual numbers look like

Interestingly enough, I saw an old friend who's doing well tonight. Felt like a 3 year stint on a superhero book, oddly.

Finished Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Nightwing run tonight. Damn near perfect. The whole thing felt like a great night with an old friend, who's doing really well.

I remember those. #lcfc

Every time I get US ads on a podcast it's like stepping headlong into a Philip K. Dick novel.

tl;dr the CIA have spent the past century or so developing spy networks across the globe, & Elon & Trump just announced their existence in a tweet & cut their entire budgets, because both of these supposed geniuses were too dumb to know what the euphemistic project names actually meant. Incredible.

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer.

Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

If you choose to go on holiday to a country with a poor human rights record, you are a total psychopath. "Beaches are lovely, didn't visit the stadium where they behead homosexuals though, it wasn't open."

Raw potatoes for tea!

In purely mercenary terms, it's a VERY silly week for them to make this call too.

Remembering Horror Maestro GEORGE A ROMERO on what would have been his 85th birthday. 🖤🖤🖤

Look, mutants can't get AIDS and we have this man to thank!

fitting that the first big air disaster after years of loud, insistent warnings that understaffing would cause exactly this outcome, happens at the airport named after the guy who crushed the ATC union

OpenAI reportedly claims it has evidence China’s DeepSeek ‘used its model’ to train AI chatbot – business live White House advisor David Sacks says there is ‘substantial evidence’ of DeepSeek using OpenAI technology

Boo fucking Hoo.

Update: I have lost about 40 quid personally off the value of my stocks. Worth it.

Oh yeah that’s the good stuff

Re: the US stock market: fucking LOL.

Stock prices for tech companies over the last hour and a half of pre market overnight trading.

Chat: is red GOOD or BAD?

It's objectively funny to see DeepSeek — an open source, high performing AI model trained by a Chinese startup for less than $6 million — wipe $1 trillion off tech stocks only days after Trump, OpenAI, and SoftBank announce their $500 billion Stargate boondoggle.

Ok, quick thread on why DeepSeek is blowing up assumptions about LLMs and maybe the whole (U.S.) AI industry. DeepSeek is an AI lab funded by a Chinese hedge fund, their AI code is open source, meaning freely available to use, which most big U.S. models (aside from Meta’s) are not. That’s the start…

Well, this was superb. Academia, intrigue, suburban witchcraft. All the fun of the fair.

If you watch the most impressive NFL clips back to back it's almost as good as rugby.

No one is USING AI. They are TRAINING AI. No LLM is ready to be fully deployed. It's all early beta testing they are trying to convince you is actually a product. It is nowhere near its target goals for its intended uses. People aren't paying to use it; they're subsidizing its training. It's a scam.
