Epstein’s War

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I never played CoD and now never will

"UAE, a fossil fuel exporter with a GDP per capita on a par with France and Canada, received more than $1bn in loans from Japan that were logged as climate finance. The projects include $625m for an offshore electricity transmission project in Abu Dhabi and $452m for a waste incinerator in Dubai."

Another point: I cannot say 100% certain but the quality of video changed drastically the day Sora was released. The videos look like they're Sora videos, and they follow Sora tropes (Walmart, McDonald's). The biggest, most "valuable" companies on Earth are enabling and pushing this shit on people

10 years ago : blockchain is the future of banking. if you don't understand you're an idiot 5 years ago : you're a dumbass if you dont get in on the ground level of the nft-do-not-copy.jpg Now : you don't understand the stock market. NVIDIA can only grow until it's the only company in the world

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Every post from @anatudor.bsky.social is 🤯 Amazing talent and thoroughly-researched techniques.

One more time, to see if I can reach anyone…

Short version because people aren't reading the blog - "dislikes", essentially just a "not interested" button, private, doesn't effect anyone but yourself - "Social proximity", puts people you know at the top of comments - "Reply context", shows people full thread before they reply

So, I have a nearly-teenager who's into graphical art and is starting to poke around in digital. She likes pixel art. What apps, tools and courses would you recommend to get started? She has a Windows PC, and we have a small, little-used Wacom tablet. #Art #DigitalArt #NoAI

I tend to promote @economist.com a lot, and I've been an on-again, off-again subscriber for decades. This is gross.

Jesus. How can anyone still justify buying anything even remotely related to Tesla or Musk?

Farage: epic grifter

Dear @theguardian.com, I give you money every month. Please don't make me regret it with crap articles like this.

"What are you going to do, shoot me? I would die for this shit." Until congress responds with the rage, fear, and courage of this man, they are letting me down and they are letting you down.

"Epstein Ballroom" has got to stick

One of my favourite pieces of software—Affinity by Serif—sold out to Canva and has removed its products from sale on their website. The forums have gone read-only. Their Bluesky account is gone. And there's "an announcement" coming in a week or so. All-round bad vibes.

You can still find really good journalism.

"President Faeces" has a certain "eternally memorable historical figure" ring to it. He might have achieved immortality.

Hey @sarahedo.bsky.social, career-ladders.dev is looking a bit borked. It seems that the content of the fonts.css file is gone.

You know I lived in London when the nail bomb went off in the Admiral Duncan on Great Compton Street twenty five years ago. I worked around the corner. Even then I couldn’t imagine something like this happening. Absolutely. Fucking. Horrific. humanists.uk/2025/10/09/h...

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

I hate to think what boys and young men are learning from watching such behavior and how it makes girls and young women. Parents need to teach that this is not acceptable.

every day I wake up and ask important questions like "how many floppies would it take for a watchable copy of a Star Trek episode?"

Sound on! 🤣

You know that the day has been long when you're waiting for your luggage at the airport and experience two seconds of panic—where's my phone?!—while scrolling through Bluesky on said phone.

It’s time to wake up — if you aren’t using ChatGPT to optimize your work (and your life!) you’re getting left behind. Watch this for 5 simple, lesser-known ChatGPT prompts that geniuses use! youtu.be/IS65dBNlng8

Parents outraged as Meta uses photos of schoolgirls in ads targeting man

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

My great-grandparents were murdered in Buchenwald. I know what I’m seeing, too.

"Portugal fica de fora." Lucky Portugal.
