Meanwhile. In England.

Southwestern Lamma is one of my favourite places in the world. Mount Stenhouse is absolutely worth the climb. Heading beyond the summit, you kinda do want some decent GPS resources to re-acquire the trails when you lose them below your feet. It's a rugged space and you're on your own.

Ruin a song by adding the word ‘literally’ to the title: We're not gonna literally take it

American resident friends: how much of the current silliness is visible in your daily life (outside of media)? It can be very hard to gauge when our only window is media

Just for fun, name two completely unrelated movies that share the same director

People don't really factor this into the future of Gen AI - The very real risk that your bots simply up and quit.

Sunflowers will grow ✌🏼

The bear is annoyed with the duck's antics.

In a world full of Bill Cosby's, be a Cliff Huxtable

When the Germans voted in a literal Charlie Chaplin impersonator, you would have thought they set an extremely high bar in clownishness for a candidate autocrat. Never has something so silly been taken so seriously by so many. I understand the perspective of places with high poverty or low ...

Iran's nuclear threshold situation has been deliberately constructed as a kind of balance against Israel's nuclear weapons status while not forcing Saudi to also become a nuclear state. Iran's strategy has been to develop the most difficult components of a nuclear program (highly enriched, but ...

www.tomshardware.com/pc-component... Ok this one is a bit more interesting than just art work, and has security implications too. Normal CDs are "pressed"... the data dots are physically pushed into the plastic disc, which is then spin-coated with aluminium. Recordable CDs can't do that, they...

ADHD probably evolved to give human communities some peripheral vision.

These videos from america of ICE agents wearing facemasks and balaclavas bring back a deep sadness of when the HK police took to hiding their faces. When the police began hiding their faces, we started to see who they really were.

Kids these days have absolutely zero idea of how to set the graphic equaliser.

British colonialism has much to answer for the world over. But as the lingua franca, the gift of the English language allows for the Hungarian to communicate with the Italian without resorting to speaking German. #LinguisticaMonoglotia

How I arrived on bluesky

Realistically, it's probably the British that have the best claim towards being the time's new Roman.

As an off-colour Asian migrant to Europe I am amused by my stereotypes a) I regularly walk around in public carrying a large piece of bread. The locals see this as normal b) I complain about the supermarket's small bags of terrible quality rice. Locals don't understand. #JustTheCarbohydrateThings

Post a warning

One of the great crimes of the last 90 days is that none of the scandals so far have been named 'Elongate'.

The soviet-style solution to this- Import the computer whole, have a factory dismantle it into parts, and then send the parts to computer factories to build back into computers. It creates twice as many jobs too. #GiveThemSpoons

I read the news today, oh boy #IJustHadToLaugh www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Congress, if it chooses, can stop this madness. It is not the actions of a single madman.

I don't know why all the pessimism. VIX is up 99% this week.

I read the news today, oh boy. #IJustHadToLaugh

The most powerful country in the world portraying itself as a pathetic victim of others is a critically dangerous narrative. It is the PRC model, it is the mid 20th century German model, it is the Putin model. It is aimed as a mechanism of internal control but has horrific external consequences.

America's trade deficits are an essential link in the chain that causes an accumulation of overseas capital investment in the US. That capital seeks out the non-profitable peri-ipo tech assets cashing out silicon valley VCs freeing them for their next juicero. Elon et al have sunk their own boat.

We have a lot to learn from Hong Kong in the arena of cultural integration. I get regular phone calls checking if I can speak chinese.
