this is going to be an absolute mess and I’m pumped. it will have to have subtitles bc Middle English is largely unintelligible to us. but, even funnier, pronunciation at this time is a nightmare French was still a court language and so they’d have various dialectical French accents layered on top

Oh fuck oh shit this ai better be a machine god so we can live in sci fi wonderland in our elite bunkers or else the game is up and the mob will eat the marrow from our bones oh fuck oh shit why the ribots not working ohhh ffffuuuuuck

Someone said my art is a break from politics and for the record: my art is political In a world where billionaires at the top aerospace companies see space as exclusive ground for white men to conquer and colonize, I offer a quiet contemplative alternative for anyone and *everyone*

Got some more Artemis pieces and night sky pieces coming out of the kiln ✨

How about making the AI companies pay for the additional infrastructure, since they're the ones jacking up the usage?

I was pleasantly surprised the other day when a contractor friend in a red county said that heat pumps are now simply the industry standard. Apparently they’ve outsold gas furnaces in the US for the past four years and are poised to overtake conventional AC. That’s really good news.

the owner of my bar just showed me this “report” he wrote for sunday school when he was a kid. i am fucking crying

Big Tech is organized crime. Most people won’t engage with that statement. They don’t want to confront what it means — how huge the problem is and how hard it will be to fix. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. Big Tech is organized crime.

Watching the Rik Mayall documentary and I forgot that Drop Dead Fred did CG eyeballs 3 years before the Mask 'invented' it.

Artistry on this level is hard to replicate

The Space Shuttle had five general-purpose computers that controlled, monitored, and navigated the Shuttle. Each computer consisted of two boxes: the CPU (right) and the I/O Processor (IOP, left). The IOP connected the computer to 24 high-speed networks. Let's look at two boards from the IOP... 1/N

-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."

Govt pushing for Net Zero too rapidly? It’s the opposite! As a member of Unite, I say that @unitesharon.bsky.social does not speak for me. Neither do I feel she is acting in the interests of Unite members as a whole. For that she should be pressing for a more rapid - yet more just, transition.

Getting interesting. The BBC has requested Trump’s phone records and private schedules from around the J6 Capitol attack in Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster, The Telegraph reports.

Imagine if hundreds of people died in hurricane or floods smashing through Europe Heatwaves have already killed that many ppl. They are a silent killer in that they dont generate outrage or fear. Hope this by @economist.com helps save lives as Europeans wake up to danger bsky.app/profile/eate...

Happy 100TH BIRTHDAY to the king Mel Brooks, who wore a fake extra finger to his handprint ceremony🥳🎂🥳

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

I bought a second hand time machine next Sunday. They don’t make them like they’re going to anymore. 🤭

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Happy 100th, Mel Brooks.

An excellent use case for why people really need to be able to define “AI” and recognize it’s an umbrella term, not a synonym for heavyweight commercial LLMs/frontier models.

The weird thing about today´s information environment is that once an audience for a topic has been created, it becomes this self-sustaining narrative that manipulators, algorithms & crows keep perpetually alive. ... despite it being completely disproven. www.lab-leak-fever.com

Going through older magazines, this @tomgauld.bsky.social is so on point on the state of corporations disdain for their customers and enshittification… (from @newscientist.com )

Sounds like AI is a huge liability and billionaires are mega-crybaby about it as per. "established studios with a positive track record see a "catastrophic" 40% to 60% drop in sales when they use AI"

True story: last week in an engineering meeting I said “MLM” when I meant to say “LLM.

Nice bot trick.

Since dinosaurs are related to modern birds, the next Jurassic Park movie should totally have dinosaurs that can mimic human speech like a parrot. Instead of just roaring at people they could say something like "welcome to Jurassic Park!" before biting their heads off. I'd watch that.

The vast majority of state schools are rated good or outstanding. So what are parents who pay for private education actually buying, if it's not privilege?

Remember the mayor of Paris, the most populous city in France said that home AC is a plague. France's health minister said it wasn't necessary for all parts of a hospital - A HOSPITAL - to have AC.

This heat wave has really messed up my sense of food. I'm hungry but don't fancy anything nice that I've put in the fridge. My brain just shouts "open cold can of beans and eat with spoon."

Dueling Heatwaves ‼️ Europe vs USA in a match no one wants! It’s #Europe’s most severe #heatwave in history w/ Germany to 109 this weekend VS the USA where next week swelters w/ feels like up to 115°! This is boosted by the strong El Niño, steroids on top of the heating climate!

Everything is like this now One of the battles of our generation will be to destroy all efforts to dismiss truth as a central ingredient for how we process the world I remember when JD Vance said he doesn’t regret lying about Haitians because ‘it started a conversation’ It’s why I hate GenAI too.

A friend sent me this 2025 story… there’s a lot going on here. “Buck’s experimental sips of vaccine beer are unsanctioned by his employer. A research ethics committee at the National Institutes of Health told Buck he couldn’t experiment on himself by drinking the beer.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

This is an incredible patch note.

This planning application actually made me laugh out loud when I saw it. And then check and see why the council would require one in the first place. Size and usage wise it would fall under permitted, but I’m guessing the ground engineering clause is what got them
