"The statement that “in 1902 Australia became the first nation to introduce equal federal suffrage” cannot be accepted."

the Azadi (freedom) tower in Tehran suffering airstrike.

"Tower of freedom" in a creepy, beautiful, style that Sauron could have penned. But I'm not one of the convinced that bombs are the answer. It's like we have gone back 100 years. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

if true this is inexcusable.

The man wrote a whole book about this:

Well done Australia, that shows how independent you were/are ... www.news.com.au/national/pol... "the tax cut was effectively ‘a handout’ and that supporting it restricted their ability to spend more on defence, in line with the new expectations of the US Government.”

Charmed and fascinated by Chess Wars, a DOS game released in 1996 that features live-action cutscenes of medieval melee when playing pieces engage one another in battle.

"Digital art: I want to be confused. I don’t want to understand. I want to see something for the first time again. Rarely a game does that, and when it does it’s a precious thing."

"1. Trying to learn sinner man on piano. 2. Man." So you are halfway there already!

I think maybe the people corrupting the system to take status from the system (a degree) have some responsibility for this...

Even without the moral issues, Altman seems to think AI developed itself, no, human energy and investment did. www.news.com.au/technology/i...

Why does the UK seem to be arresting people over Epstein associations but not USA given he was American with mostly American contacts? It is a strange world.

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Thanks @ign.com and @duckvalentine.bsky.social for following along on this for the past few weeks.

really impressed by their desire to tackle this TikTok issue..

Fascinating article, thanks! Raises the eternal (archaeological?) question: if no current existing proof certain things (such as hierarchical social order), how confident are we that they didn't? It's also a great challenge for visualization/virtual heritage, no kingly tombs, impress us differently!

"Lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas" I think right there is a reason I never learnt Finnish, but what an amazing language! (I can say two sentences and cheers in Estonian, but they are rather bizarre sentences).

my initial tweets were glib, apologies. Yes I see anarchy from a simplistic reactive 80s UK punk aesthetic not an ancient Greek philosophy. My question to my self however is can we (humans) avoid hierarchical social order? Apparently there are exceptions in other species.

ah, but in a way a clock is a mechanical ruler, not a social arrangement between free agents...

so it will be expanded to criminal dogs? I find it easier just to leave treats out the front...

You should know better than I but Swedish architects from/in the Klara School had shallow coats of paint so as one walked past they kind of shimmered (borrowed perhaps from Byzantine architecture)

That's a brilliant idea for those of us who experienced overlong papers that were utterly unbearable!

you steampunk'd him!

If they've organized a set time with you then it's not looking good for anarchy ..

maybe it means benefits *for* the AI?!

I went to architecture school with Michael Angelo (he told me his father Mr Angelo was an artist with a sense of humour).

That would be Richard I. Pervo?

I didn't realize with FSD that Teslas became fully submersible! Also funny it is on X! x.com/i/status/202...

I can only dream of receiving book reviews like this "preposterous in its thesis, destructive in its purpose, and tortuously numbing in its content."
