burning straw

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.

The US-sanctioned Russian-flagged handymax tanker PEGASUS (9276028) keeps going in and out of the US blockade perimeter, just out of spite. We have multiple satellite images confirming that this is not an AIS spoof.

Totally read that as Dickbusters and thought this was clever advertising for new gender affirming surgery.

Electrification, the most powerful tool to protect the Europeans. Green and smart electricity.

Love this addition to the street name sign on Park Drive in the West End of Glasgow. It's by A Sign Of Humour, and should be read while doing your best Phil Daniels impression! #glasgow #streetart #blur #parklife #sign

More that 40% of the electricity for US data centers comes from fossil fuels. Will the oil shock kill the AI boom?

Immigration make Britain brilliant

Even when it's an entire stadium booing them, the AI hucksters cannot wrap their heads around the fact that no one wants the shit they're selling.

A guy we know pitched a story to a mag about former skateboarders going back to their old haunt in middle age. My BIL(52)went with him as part of the story. BIL is now back home with a broken ankle and the writer is home with a broken vertebrae. The only possible way the story could have gone.

Actual Big Brother winner and trans history maker, Nadia Almada, said yes to being a guest speaker at our event last week. You can tell how thrilled I was about that by this photo. Nadia meant a lot to so many queer and trans+ people. I don’t share personal stuff much - but I’ll share this… 🧵

Reform has gone full pro-Putin following its local election successes. Farage says no Ukraine flags on public buildings (“all foreign flags” but Ukraine was key) and this below from Reform’s Head of Policy James Orr. “I don’t care.” A taste of what will happen if they win power.

Uhhh just let me say as someone who used to work in branch banking: DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, GIVE CHATGPT ACCESS TO YOUR FUCKING BANK RECORDS This is a TERRIBLE IDEA

💯. The solution to the “I should be able to edit my posts” issue is (1) live with minor typos and (2) delete and repost if meaning is substantively changed.

i remember walking out of Force Awakens, annoyed with it. And there was a girl, maybe eight, with her mum. The girl was BOUNCING. "Mummy!! I can be an X-wing pilot!!" And THAT was the point i knew my opinion didn't matter for shit. i would die for the right of that girl to be an X-Wing pilot.
