Ahahahahaahahahahahaha! Greek Orthodox Metal! Sadly the gig in London is already sold out so i can't go and see him! i grew up in the church. Noone ever banned music, or instruments or called secular music satanic! where is this nonsense coming from? www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

Last week @jesperfj shared his view on why configuration should be stored in a database. This week, we shared two example applications we built on top of a config database with an API. Now I'm sharing my take. itnext.io/configuratio... #Kubernetes #GitOps

London is scarred by Brexit but resilient. Industrial Britain, the manufacturing heartlands, the red wall, have been absolutely poleaxed. You think the politics align with that? Not a jot.

This is kind of amazing. Sort of sad yet also beautiful.

People ask me why I can’t stand Andy Burnham. It’s crap like this. HE’S A CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH GRADUATE WHO WAS A SPAD AND THEN A MINISTER IN LONDON FOR YEARS FFS enough with the oooooh northern working man of the people me.

by the way folks, and honestly i know it's not terribly fashionable to say it, i mean it's quite a hot take, unpopular even, but racism actually is bad.

We've finally created AI that uses the human body for electricity, from the classic science fiction film Keep the Land Lines and Don't Let AI Use Humans for Electricity. Take that, thermodynamics: you said it couldn't be done

Ok, since no one else was stepping up, here's a first sort of pedagogical stab at how to blend quantitative description with strong semantics, with a link to active inference and the free energy principle in neuroscience. arxiv.org/abs/2606.08552

Happy birthday to Karl Urban, now 54! From LOTR to The Boys, from Xena to Riddick to Doom to Star Trek to Bourne to Thor: Ragnarok to Mortal Kombat 2 to Dredd, Karl Urban is such a figure in SFF. 🤩

Proportional Representation And ideally, pro-europe pro-growth strategy

What I like about this polling is that quite a lot of Reform voters both want a closer relationship with the EU and to loosen ties further.

The Scottish opposition parties really need to be having more fun with the Peter Murrell story. A lot less “comparing it to organised crime” and a lot more “a bald man bought two expensive hair dryers and his wife didn’t wonder where they came from?”

SLUGGO’S TUESDAY

China has developed a battery that is based on sea salt. Not lithium. It is now being used in Chinese vehicles. It’s more efficient, can hold 90% of its charge at -40c, provides a range of 500 kms, cheap to manufacture, and better for the environment. The US is being left in the dust.

How on earth are people delusional enough to believe sturgeon knew nothing about this?? She was party leader AND lived with the guy

Interesting blog post from @figma on their Redis reliability / scalability story: www.figma.com/blog/figmas-...

Russians destroyed the Chornobyl Museum in Kyiv during an overnight missile attack. A renewed exhibition had only recently opened there to mark the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant tragedy.

Gosh, I never knew this 💔

Some random Russian bot will post a picture of post-war London with half bombed out buildings to yer British nostalgia Facebook group and roundabout botherers will still comment ‘when Britain was better’ 🫡

TIL crows only *look* black to us — they’re actually very colorful in ways human eyes are unable to perceive. 🤯 Remember that next time people can’t see your “colors”. Some colors just require different eyes.

"There are other CEOs who are doing what Gary is doing, but he's particularly annoying about it" So many great quotable acerbic lines in this episode and I'm only ten minutes in 😂

This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs

Yes, it's Threads, but I think it's also part of a fascinating way that the sheer scale of space kind of breaks our brains/renders a lot of our political analogies moot.

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Péter Magyar victory speech: "Hungary wants to be a European country again. We want to return to Europe." The crowd immediately chants "Russians, go home" in response.

It’s a special kind of pleasure to see a Russian investment and a MAGA endorsement backfire massively ☺️

Major anti-Orbán protests in Hungary tonight! I really hope these people can take their country back tomorrow and free us all from the burden of dealing with an overgrown russian puppet.
