I doubt if anyone respects me, but: 1. I've worked in AI on and off since 1985 2. I have a PhD 3. I used to manage an academic department of ~40 AI researchers 4. I've published ~100 articles on it This AI tech is a con. It's a play for corporations to steal industries, wealth, & governance.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will skip the signing of US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” in Davos after Switzerland confirmed it would enforce the ICC arrest warrant over war crimes in Gaza.

God bless America

Trump just repeated again that China just builds wind turbines but did not use them themselves. Truth is :they actually do. China has more wind power than any other country.

OH MY GOD THIS. Greenland is a PLACE full of PEOPLE most of whom are INUIT and THEIR LIVES AND SOVEREIGNTY MATTER and every commentator turning this into a US/Denmark thing while ignoring the whole history of land grabs in the Americas by white people is I mean AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

The Nobel parody memes are getting better and better!🤣 #Trump #Nobel #PeacePrize

Every country holding US debt should sell it all off now. Every democratic country including Australia, sanction the US.

A response to GLP1s? Using nostalgia for the Sara Lee brand (which we haven’t seen for years) in treat sizes for people who can’t eat a whole piece of cheesecake?

new rose garden sign is giving "kitchen nightmares"

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

I just got a new Windows 11 and am constantly distracted by the little ad thing in the lower left. Just went and clicked right on a blank area of the taskbar, turned off widgets and presto! No more Daily Mail articles invading my work day (well, on the work desktop anyway)

“Don’t feel for a minute that we don't have power. Don't think for a minute we can’t drive change.” – Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO of The Australia Institute Read more from Dr Richard Denniss on The Point: thepoint.com.au/news/260109-...

so between "if you work for the feds on immigration, seek counsel for the sake of your immortal soul" from the bishop of dallas and now "clergy, update your wills then hit the streets" from the bishop of new hampshire, I feel that a shift has begun in 2026 in the rhetoric from episcopal leadership

Screaming at every ICE agent you see and calling them murdering Nazi scum is praxis. Troop retention is essential for any occupying force. Burnout is a constant risk. Even Nazis can experience moral injury.

Bus to work - absolutely packed yesterday and empty today. Non-electric bus is hot, noisy and like riding a jalopy on a cobblestone street. (AC in the front of the bendy-bus is working, in the rear it’s pumping hot air)

I am grateful to the Catholic family that invited the PM to attend the St Mary’s Cathedral funeral and who called for a ban on the Adler rifle let into the country by Tony Abbott and used to kill innocent Jews at Bondi.

BTW, it’s not “Maduro’s Wife”, she is “69 year old Cilia Adela Flores de Maduro, mother of three, lawyer and politician”. So maybe you could at least make it Nicholas and Cilia Maduro?

These people are going full „We have always been at war with Eastasia“.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Did they only stage the invasion at this time because Dumpy would be sundowning if it was later?

Touching grass is hard when the entire field is ablaze...

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Macron on the capture of Sir Keir: "France has long supported a transition of power in the UK. We regarded Starmer as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime."

In a nutshell.

Wir haben das im 20. Jahrhundert vielfach erlebt, meine Mutter war etwa in Chile im Jahr 1973 live dabei. Als die US-Marionette Augusto Pinochet mit Hilfe der CIA den gewählten Präsidenten Salvador Allende stürzte, tausende Menschen ermordete und Zigtausende folterte. Darunter meinen Großvater. (3)

How in the goddamn fuck do we live in a world where 60 so-called “stars” who’ve never raised their voices (AFAWK) about the slaughter of ~380,000 children in Gaza are suddenly prepared to start yelling for a useless RC into nothing? What in the FUCK are these arsewipes playing at? #NewsCorpse

I wonder what the Brits (and Europeans and for that matter Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders) would do or the UK would do if US troops dropped in to Buckingham Palace and kidnapped KCIII and QC…(oh that’s right, the UK has nothing worth stealing)

With this regime anything is possible…

Megan Cornish, a mental health professional, decided to run a test on her LinkedIn: She recast her profile to seem more like a guy. Within a week, her impressions quadrupled. Here’s why: https://wapo.st/49vW83M

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

Nice that WaPo, the paper of record, is moving focus to handwriting rather than the far older craft of colonial imperialism which one huge orange man-baby is currently trying out for fun.

the real reason that the media wants a royal commission is that it guarantees a content stream for them

I love this, because it isn't even hyperbole or satire. Every word rings true.

As someone who paid for Xbox Gold membership for a year after I stoped playing games so they wouldn’t delete my avatars I understand this attachment and you must ruthlessly cancel any account that does this

UK farmers and renewables - -“heaps of farmers have established solar and wind farms because it's more lucrative than meat, dairy or crops. Renewable power huge over there.”

Make Steve Bannon Go To Prison Again

Sure, they’re moving with the million rich people from NYC fleeing Mamdani’s socialism. Totally going to rebalance the Electoral College once they get to those free market capitalist tax havens, Wyoming & Oklahoma. Any day now. They’re fleeing as soon as possible.

I'm once again politely asking Bluesky developers to allow us to attach multiple photos and videos in one post.
