just when you think the israelis can’t get any more depraved, they find a way remotely-operated, crane-mounted machine guns “fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighbourhoods” killing civilians, including children

This is the secret main essential true 250th anniversary event: the brave voice of democracy and justice; the brutal forces of silencing; it's all here.

Just after news that France had to shut down their reactors due to heated rivers, UK announces plans to build small reactors. I can’t find any concrete info on how the Hitachi system cools besides ‘light water circulation’ but i hope they won’t need fresh water. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Today's newsletter is about how the AI industry is losing - its economics don't work, its leaders can only sell its product through swindling and egregious forward-looking statements, and the largest financial institutions in the world are wising up. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-industry-is-losing/

Terrible news, not avoidable at all, but yeah we need profits for shareholders and buy more shiny stuff.. sigh very saddening

Let’s hope Dutch pension funds do the same!

For anyone interested.. sweetwater has Seraton Pitch n Time on sale.. best pitch shifter hands down. Especially on engines and other complex sounds this one has no competition imho

Deeply disappointed in Kassovitz’s unscrupulous promotion of genAI as described in this article. It feels very privileged and opportunistic to state that copyright should get fucked but also admit that he will sue anyone doing ‘stupid shit with La Haine’. Right :( www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ap...

Fascinating new study about men’s friendships. There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.

Artist Teun Castelein has been hiring a street organ every year to play the Ukrainian anthem in front of the Russian embassy, and kept going over the years. He set up a crowdfund. Backers will get a a vinyl record with these gloriously discordant sounds i recorded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLUU...

80% of agricultural land is used for livestock (and textiles), yet this huge land use provides only 17% of our calories and 38% of our protein. 16% of the land used for crops provides 83% of our calories and 62% of our protein. It's past time we rethink what we eat.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident
