Peter Mandelson, a man being comprehensively disowned by the British prime minister, as I write this, is just one of many who have, consciously or not, exposed their countries and others to great potential danger. /11.

I've started reading Vibe Coding by Gene Kim and Steve Yegge, despite @simonwillison.net 's insistence that they're misusing the term :) I'm planning to read a chapter a day and I'll post a quick review of each on this thread.

Industry S4 is here. The big short reimagined as money p0rn. What a show. But could anyone from 90s britain believe it at all?

Keir Starmer often takes 2-3 days to issue very mild criticism of US actions. This is both direct and issued fast. I think there is a serious risk that the US miscalculated quite what a big deal the Greenland thing is to Europe (and in Europe).
