I AM FUCKING *DECEASED* LOL Spanish equivalent of The Onion or The Beaverton announces "Denmark changes the name of Greenland to Epstein Island so that Trump will quit talking about it"

Today's phrase to add to this is "I don't need international law"

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

If you're an officer and you need a JAG opinion to determine whether being ordered to engage in armed force in Greenland is a blatantly illegal order, your oath became meaningless years ago.

Outside: it's snowing Local newspaper: OMG IT'S SNOWING It's like they don't know we're in Norway

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

So, what's in the black pages of the Epstein files, then?

Feels like a metaphor for a lot of human endeavours

We're spending a couple of weeks in #Lisbon, and if there is a city that needs @brenttoderian.bsky.social to come save it from itself and its car obsessions, it's this one. From the extremely complicated public transport to the car-first-everywhere mindset, a beautiful city disappears.

The Cuban Missile Crisis but trying to nuke the files that connect you to the worst child rape ring of the century.

Finally @mmitchell.bsky.social explains why generative AI hype can blind us to the AI breakthroughs that we should really celebrate. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/15/1...

Hell World. Hell World. Hell World.

Old Russian joke. Every day a guy goes to a newsstand and carefully scans the front page headlines, clearly looking for something specific. One day the clerk running the stand asks what he's looking for. Guy says an obituary. Clerk says those are in the back. Guy says, not the one I'm hoping for.

The number of new Teslas I see on the road tells me a lot about my fellow humans.

This guy can end the world in 30 minutes on a whim

"It’s a bit striking that the Americans are taking the Russians’ position on this issue." No, it really isn't. Effing ghouls.

Because the issue of population change is so widely misunderstood, here's a short thread which seeks to lay it out simply. It explains why there is almost nothing anyone can do to change the global population trajectory, both as numbers rise, then as they fall. 🧵1/13

Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite. This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum. Big issues we need to understand. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Every time you read the news, man. It just gets worse.

MY LATEST: Many religions are heavily concentrated in a few countries.

Totally unconscionable. Internal IT systems should not get a pass on terrible accessibility.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The EU’s top court ruled today that when a same-sex couple is legally married in one member country, any other member country where they move or reside must recognize that marriage.

Dear local supermarket: if you could please stop moving your shelves around that would be great, thanks.

If RN gets into power in France and Reform UK wins, there will be no nuclear-armed states with non-extremist governments. Cheerful thought, that. Sticking to non-proliferation treaties really doesn't seem like the right move in that scenario.

"I would rather have characters speak lines written by humans with something to say, performed by other humans who understand that meaning" @mackeza.bsky.social gets it

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

A very apt metaphor

My dad fought the Nazis in WWII, survived D Day. He passed away in 2022 and right now I'm happy he died before he had to see this headline.

Open sourced Zork today opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11... and ran it on a swarm of containers in the cloud 😂

Chiropractors are now considered more professional than nurses by the Department of Education? All I know is I've never dissected a patient's vertebral artery or sold overpriced wellness supplements that do absolutely nothing except make your pee smell bad

"When the plan was first reported … Witkoff posted on X below a post from the journalist who broke the story, sending what appeared to be meant as a private message and was quickly deleted, saying: “He must have got this from K.”"

What a terrible day to be literate.

Idealism Vs Pragmatism: the seagull edition

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

Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year. Of course I have. The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious. Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

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
