Happy Mothra day to all my US friends! This classic film had its theatrical release in the US on May 10, 1962.

This does a pretty good job of dismantling an argument that ha me (apparently a 'data center moderate'?) scratching my head over how it could even happen. General principle, I think industrial structures should account for their externalities. But there is a narrative developing here for sure...

the head of meta comms is threading on bluesky because he's mad about a NYT opinion piece

To distract myself I am reading "V for Vendetta," a story of England in the aftermath of a fascist takeover.

I’m in this post and I don’t like it

Meta isn't dying. Pay no attention to their executive team using other social media sites to assure us they're doing fine. Legs are coming soon.

Mozzarella with Crazy Gremolata is #RecipeOfTheDay! It’s hardly traditional, but I love the contrast between the fierce confetti of garlic, lemon, olives and chilli and the tender creaminess of this milky cheese. www.nigella.com/recipes/mozz...

Sir Keir Starmer's plan to install Nigel Farage as the next UK PM appears to be going very well I must say.

Everything is a conspiracy if you’re really fucking stupid

Is there something worse you could do in your career than representing an asbetos company? I guess you could try to destroy one of Australia's leading universities ... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

John Roberts and Donald Trump share the same flaw. Roberts assumed that SCOTUS credibility was a hard fact of life, and Trump has done the same with American power. Both have spent down those resources not realizing they need to be cultivated and replenished. You see the results.

As I think @jmberger.com noted, it's just a matter of time until prima noctis is added to the Republican platform.

Just got the following email from the NYC bar association: "Update: All attorneys from the United States Attorney's Offices have withdrawn from participating in this year's White Collar Crime Conference."

Anthropic partnering with Elon should be a reminder that the real end goal should be powerful open models you can run on your own hardware China is making great progress there

It's been widely noted that Torres is batshit dishonest in their lossy reductive "TESCREAL" account in ways that writes out the long history of anarchist & socialist transhumanists, cosmists, etc. Today I learned they EXPLICITLY grounds hostility to transhumanism in hostility to anarchism!!

Don't blame me, I voted for Samaritan

this has to have been what the abc wanted when they flat out lied in the headline, there is no other explanation that could explain why they included people taking days off work via sick leave in the stat

Avi Yemini now also trying to recruit members for a "Muslim Votes Matter" Victorian party to direct preferences to One Nation. I don't really like him making my points for me but Victorian Labor needs to stop people even trying these shell games by scrapping Group Ticket Voting.

the thing dem pols need to internalize is this guy and his entire family will vote republican for the rest of their lives, regardless of the republican party literally ending their livelihood

Let’s see how this goes over:

Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...

Incredible stuff from the newspaper that somehow gives you lead poisoning

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

bubble as in dotcom bubble: a few companies hyped as the next big thing are gonna go kaboom, some people are gonna lose a lot of money, the shit’s still gonna be around and unavoidable the rest of your life

What's with the GOP selecting presidents with dementia? Trump is the second in my lifetime already

You know… as part of monoclonal antibody therapy for dementia, repeat MRIs and cognitive tests are part of the regimen… Just saying. Cuz repeat cognitive tests like this are not normal.

wait I’m sorry Richard Dawkins transed his Claude and then immediately fell for her???

Absolutely. The existence of a death penalty is fundamentally incompatible with a civilized society.

I swear these people look more and more like Command and Conquer cutscenes every week

Well, it looks like the PRC paid for the conference center RightsCon was supposed to be hosted in. Guess they didn't appreciate last year's event in Taipei. zm.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/dsxxx/ds...

Next up: "Flowers For Algernon" but where he makes a scientific breakthrough making him even smarter and wins every Nobel Prize at once

Oh man, they're timing this whole Pluto revival so they can re-announce it as a planet on the 100th anniversary of its discovery, aren't they. 🫠 IT'S OKAY THAT PLUTO TURNED OUT TO BE A WHOLE NEW KIND OF THING! NEW THINGS ARE SUPER COOL AND TEACH US MORE THAN ONE MORE OF THE OLD THING!

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
