The only thing Musk has ever really innovated is how to build an investment cult. The constant unreality is to keep sensible investors away who might cause you problems down the line. True believers only.

It's been a while that we could watch chimps fishing for algae. They do it with longer sticks when gathering the algae from the bottom of the water source. The other technique we've recently seen is scooping algae from the surface.

"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."

The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.

Wow. Foraminifera! ROV pilots paused and carefully zoomed in to collect footage of these single-celled microorganisms, or protists, at 843 m during the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors expedition w/ @schmidtsciences.bsky.social offshore of Argentina. Read the full caption: youtube.com/shorts/Yv_ud...

This cannot be real.

we dare you to find a museum more ready

For those keeping score at home: I informed Grammarly via email precisely what I thought of their appropriation of my name and reputation and received an email from their head of litigation promising a full response by the end of the week. To be continued...

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

good luck to Thomann I guess

"In the United States, politically aligned actors are actively constructing a parallel ecosystem of academic journals, think tanks, and government-backed research bodies that cite and reinforce one another."

the "which do you like better, these three sentences from AI or from a classic" reminds me of the Pepsi Challenge. People genuinely did prefer Pepsi for one sip, because it's sweeter. But they strongly strongly prefer Coke overall, because no one wants sickly sweet for an entire bottle

🚨🚨Major story of today: Nearly seven months ago, #Ukraine tried to sell the US their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made attack drones but #Trump admin dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week because of heavy drone strikes from #Iran.🧵 www.axios.com/2026/03/10/u...

Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx #ShareGoodNewsToo

This is delightful which of course it is because it’s Tim Curry dammit but it contains two earth shattering revelations for the Curryverse and they are 1) he was considered for Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park 2) he read the screenplay for Silence of the Lambs and wanted to be cast as Hannibal Lector

right to refuse!

Trump's assholery has killed a wonderful advanced X-ray astronomical mission that has been in development for almost a decade.

it's taken a decade, but it looks like Tesla has just about solved self-driving

On Saturday, March 7th Jello Biafra suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by high blood pressure. 

As per Jello:

Oh well. It was nice while it lasted. VC ruins everything it touches. At least the at protocol layer makes it possible to run alternative instances (although not cheap so would require some crowd funding model for running costs like wikipedia). Better get a move on with that.

kinda weak reporting by Wired in terms of bsky "positioning itself as a progressive twitter replacement" since the staff on here have been incredibly clear that that's not what they wanted to do and never wanted to do

OTIO annoyance of the day. Each NLE handles audio channel assignments differenty. It seems to me that something as basic as audio channel info should be part of the standard, not everyone doing ti different. I just suggested doing this. github.com/OpenTimeline...

And I’m one of the many authors suing Anthropic, so i guess does anyone wanna sue me, and we’ll see far we can go with this “there was an old woman who swallowed a fly” routine! 😆

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music Several dozen folks did Some even dubbed music over the original clip. I haven't been able to get this out of my head. So I give you A Bluesky exclusive: Reservoir Ducks 🐣 🪶

That's hell of a camera shot. Location work ftw.

So maybe we don't need all the planet-killing lithium mines after all? And don't need to be desecrating sacred Indigenous lands to sate the billionaires' and politicians' lithium appetites? [Spoiler: We never needed any of that, but now there's literally no excuse.]

It’s mad how cheap drones really have changed everything about war. It doesn’t matter if you can shoot a few down. Just flood the zone with so many targeting all is impossible.

I hate that entire groups are being prevented from existing in mainstream art because of roughly 200 shrill lunatics who can't be normal about anything.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americans—and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for it—was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

Another Iranian gone down the conspiracy route. Sad. Many such cases. Topic of a famous Iranian novel that my grandfather loved.

AI research: Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers. Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats. Headline: Anthropic Says Claude has "A Fully Developed Digestive System"

The corporate ladder over a certain level stops being about competence but becomes "who can bullshit other bullshitters the best." You only need to be competent at lower levels. I worked at companies where we tried to exclude managers as much as possible because they got in the way of the job.

Interesting look at energy production vs consumption. Compares energy usage (useful stuff we want) vs energy source (what happens now to get it). If you account for energy lost in conversion i.e. electric motors are 90% efficient vs petrol 30% efficient then energy rhetoric looks very different.

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

LOOK AT THIS SQUIRREL! ❤️

If only they’d used that cue in the actual film…

you know shit is about to get REAL when the 4:3 aspect ratio hits

how bad can it be, it only fuels half the world's population

Last repost. I enjoyed the 2017 version of Susperia. The original is so beloved it had no chance really but I liked it so much I did a “Perky Horror” picture

Lol. I heard a couple of months ago that British kids are now using "AI" as slang shorthand for stupid/bullshit/bullshitter. I actually heard it in the wild for the first time tonight while getting some Chinese food! The kids are alright.

he's right and he should say it and also the fucking audacity of the *Tories* complaining about cost as if it wouldn't have been a tenth of the price if they'd done something about it back when they first took power
