Jonesy cartoon in Private Eye No. 1667

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Second that

A joke for the history buffs.

A dark blue mug with an American flag reads “AMERICA 1776 – 2026”

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Såg den turnénav Neilan o Pearl Jam i Roskilde när det begav sig. Grym konsert.

The Nobel Foundation makes yet another statement:

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff.
Game on.

If you consider that France(supported you during the War of Independence), the Dutch(the first to acknowledge USA with the First Salute in 1776) and Sweden (the first neutral nation to recognize USA in 1783) are all on the other side, ie your oldest friends and allies, it makes it even worse.

Skrivits om både i DN o Guardian. Enl Guardian inte lika bra som S1 men ändå bättre än det mesta på TV nu.

Someone bought the domain Nazis.us and pointed it to the DHS website. #GoodTrouble

Well, Aragorn, Le Chiffre and Mr White are all Danish. I think they can take out Litte Rubio any day of the week.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

TESLA NEW REGISTRATIONS IN SWEDEN -88.7% YEAR-ON-YEAR IN OCTOBER, MOBILITY SWEDEN DATA SHOWS

This was a tough but necessary decision - I posted my own notes on this here, from the perspective of a current PSF board member simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/27/...

Updating my LEGO White House

Flying electric boat to showcase cutting commute times in half in Washington D.C. What if your morning commute didn’t involve gridlock on the 395 or the Orange Line crawl, but instead meant silently...

Swedish flying electric boats coming to DC! The company, Candela, is located in the same building as my art studio and they have been testing their boats on the bay below our house for years.

The 🇬🇧British television drama series "THE ONEDIN LINE" created by Cyril Abraham, starring Peter Gilmore, Anne Stallybrass, Jessica Benton and Howard Lang was first broadcast in the U.K. #OnThisDay in 1971 on the BBC Network, it ran for 9 series with a total of 91 episodes ⚓️

This seems like a mistake.

I'm beginning to suspect that a key skill in working effectively with coding agents is developing an intuition for when you don't need to closely review every line of code they produce. This feels deeply uncomfortable!

🤮 Surreal: Iran’s regime covered the legs of Finland & Sweden’s foreign ministers on State TV, afraid their men would be “tempted.” Can we all agree: when a regime needs to hide women’s ankles to keep men from ‘sinning,’ they’re not a government, they’re a frat house of horny ayatollahs?
