Apparently Linus Torvalds vibe-codes non-critical stuff now. What a mad lad 😆 #code #llms https://github.com/torvalds/AudioNoise/blob/main/README.md

A friendly reminder that ICE officers are already some of the least trained and least educated law enforcement in the federal government — and then the Trump admin cut both standards even more last year.

not saying it can't get worse but this week really feels like a straightforward depiction of what worst-case 'post truth' information apocalypse ppl were warning of in the late 2010s

"To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: you’ve done enough. I have issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. ...I remind you, a warning order is a heads up for folks, and these National Guard troops are OUR National Guard troops. ...They are Minnesotans."

ICE is a federal agency staffed by terrorists, protected by terrorists and led by a terroristic and tyrannical monster #US www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Denmark's foreign minister says Trump’s claims about Greenland being covered with Russian and Chinese ships are misinformation. It's not. It's narrative. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... It’s the story they’re telling to make you see the world their way. In other words, it's #propaganda.

It is absolutely amazing how much Americans put up with DJT. I sometimes feel like they're even enjoying the spectacular harm being inflicted upon themselves...

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

😱"Two people close to the White House said the president's lack of interest in boosting Machado, despite her recent efforts to flatter Trump, stemmed from her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award the president has openly coveted...an ultimate sin" www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

OMG. They're literally bragging.

Yay

Given that Trump's critics call it a kidnapping, and Trump says it's an apt term, I see no reason for the media not to use it. Literally both sides agree it's the proper description of what happened.

There we go folks. "Donroe doctrine" 😂

This timeline just keeps getting better and better /s

Jesus Christ he really doesn't want us to see those files. #venezuela

Remember how #Avatar predicted Venezuela becoming a frontline? Yeah you keep telling yourself that franchise is crap. I don't like Maduro's regime anymore than the next bloke, but this is not how we do things.

It's not even a week into 2026... #caracas

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Happy New Year. May everything fall into place for you in 2026.

Nice way to summarise the world economy in 2025. #newyear AI powered 2025's economy to record highs. So why are only robots smiling? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-29/end-of-year-economics-analysis-wrap/106176480

🔭 Yesterday I made a last attempt to capture 3I/ATLAS, our interstellar visitor. By now its brightness has faded to just magnitude 13.3, but after an hour of exposure it still showed up. A faint glimpse of a traveler from beyond our solar system. 😀 #Astrophotography #seestar #3iatlas #comet

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

Microsoft refactoring its C and C++ codebase to Rust would be outstanding because finally they'll have a reason to invest more in the language and the Rust job market will boom. I see this as an absolute win for the Rust community. #Rustlang

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas 🎄. This year hasn’t been easy, but I hope the routine and timelessness of the season bring you a little peace, comfort, and light. #Flowers #AllanGardens #Toronto

I didn't know Oona Chaplin (Varang in Avatar Fire and Ash) is Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter. Interesting 😲 #movies #avatarfireandash

What's old is new again. In Mein Kampf, Hitler refers approvingly to how America became “great” through conquest and racial exclusion.

Is Avatar: Fire and Ash good? It's got Hideo Kojima's seal of approval which should suffice as an answer. #avatarfireandash

This is ideology, not health. "Anti-rights groups seize chance to fill void left by US aid cuts. Ultra-conservative Christian organisations look to reshape global health landscape as new aid agreements open door to demands restricting family planning services" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Finally, #NASA has a decent administrator. Hopefully he can make something of what's left of it. #space #spaceflight

Sharing cus, yeah.... I don't have much to say, and honestly for personal reasons no not want to have to think of this person; but he has been doing this for 10 years now and has committed plagiarism in every major pice of artwork he's done within that time. This also extends to his writings.
