Another fucking lunatic who should take a good long one-way swim in the ocean

These people are completely broken.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I absolutely stopped caring about university life

I don’t think you can understand the weirdness around “AI” without understanding how it’s become this thing for people to project their acute superstitious worldview on. “If I can imagine something, it can be done, by an AI” is the mantra. Ungrounded in physics or mathematics, pure superstition.

Every ai booster believes that college is about doing homework. They think there’s a homework goblin that pays the colleges for their homework. Their dream is that they can have a machine that you can pay $75,000 to and receive a college degree from in four years.

What kind of president would say something so disgusting? It’s downright unAmeric— Oh wait… I forgot that Abraham Lincoln & Thomas Jefferson said the same thing. Never mind

The markets are resting on NVIDIA selling GPUs to companies that are propped up either by existing cashflow, debt or venture capital, and the customers that those GPUs are rented to are also propped up by debt or venture capital. This is a stress test of the world's free cash, and it will run out.

Hate to be a downer, but almost no one knows their history. And it’s essential not too. Mythology will get you out of bed in the morning, with history it’s all you can do to stop screaming.

tech bro: i just invented drugs

The President is actively dying right next to his team of simps yelling about what a Big Strong Leader Man he is. Just sitting there, eyes closed, croaking in front of our eyes.

George Washington was very pissed off he was never commissioned into the British Army while he was colonel of the colonial Virginia Regiment.

Is there a single instance of local cops preventing (or better, arresting) ICE goons when said goons start in on their disgusting raids?

Hey we’ll get the four star guy to brazenly break the law because we can’t convene a court martial of five star guys (we sacked them all).

China has both more ton-km per route-km than the US and more p-km per route-km than any European country - and China achieves this on the same network, whereas the US has rounding-error p-km and we have rounding-error t-km west of Ukraine.

Germany is always a masterclass in nearsightedness. They based the core of their economic policy on 1) selling to China and 2) getting cheap energy from Russia. It obviously went great. /s

This is the funniest school photo of all time.

Just going on appearances there’s about a dozen potential dark genius comic writers in that line-up.

Gisele Kapterian must pay Nicolette Boele's costs following her withdrawn CDR petition against the result in #Bradfield.

Most of it is demoware. Solid use cases fairly thin.

I like how every six months or so we get a big "This Obscure Fasicst Thinker Is Key To Understanding The Modern Right" and without fail every one of those is the biggest loser you've ever heard of writing the stupidest articles you've ever read for Racism Monthly

The worst business in the history of business.

it's not as simple as "hardware has gotten better, software has gotten worse" because a lot of companies making physical devices are lost in the wilderness from a design perspective, but a rule of thumb that anything that charges you monthly gets worse over time works pretty well

There was an FT column a few months ago arguing the key target voter implicit in British politics is, statistically speaking, dead.

It turns out that 15 years of governments who specifically reject economics in favour of appeasing deranged pensioners will do this

cant unsee once you get this, the only thing you want in your country is FAR more public investment

It actually might be the better option.

can’t stand the mona lisa. I hate it when women smile. What’s so funny? My tiny penis?

Finally getting some theological clarity on the ethics of reclining in one’s plane seat

"No war for oil" is a satisfying slogan in a way that "No war for Marco Rubio's right-wing south Florida exile grifter friends" really isn't

Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

I caught the first train through the Melbourne Metro Tunnel today. Massive crowds of very excited rail fans, train nerds & infrastructure geeks, mixed in with police, politicians, media & rail staff, all making history together. This tells me 1 unavoidable, irrefutable truth: Trains are good.

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

Stoppard's writing, often philosophical or scientific but consistently funny, gave rise to the term Stoppardian.

The amount of people warning us that we have to do everyone in our power to fight fascism while simultaneously telling us it’s too difficult to leave Substack is astounding.

Always shits me they give trinkets to the Bamfords.

When a proper professional sport gets up and going, it’s imperative that a team arises that takes it by the scruff and hugely evolved the way the game is played, improving and enriching it enormously, dragging the rest with them. NMFC women’s team is exactly that.

Fair dinkum this Kangas side will out muscle and out think every other side. Fun to watch.

Big tricky carry-on the next century, more and more it'll be fretted over, is people living too fucking long (not stupidly too long, ten years is more than enough to cause massive mayhem). Gonna be every second op-ed by 2060.

Barnaby Joyce is doing what he’s always done: playing the lazy and compliant Canberra Press Gallery for the mugs they are #Auspol
