Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

The result of AI boosters getting booed at commencement will NOT be them getting a wake-up call about AI skepticism. They will just stop speaking at commencements. But that’s a small win!

This feels like December 2019 all over again. This time however the consequences could be much, much worse if this is not contained.

Harsh but fair

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

That's part of the plan, right?

found this guy on Tiktok who has discovered carpenter's speed squares make an insanely satisfying noise when you bounce them off tires or wood, called @lostcoastedc on there

I'm glad he released this as well www.youtube.com/shorts/w0Z8j...

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

Being covered in ants sounds terrible, while being covered in kittens sounds kind of fun. But what if the kittens were the size of ants? How small would kittens need to be, to make the experience of being covered in them unpleasant?

Today is the 10th anniversary of my Consolation EP. The title track of the EP is probably my most emotional recording. It's a fretless bass improvisation that involves the use of a looper. The piece simply flowed out of me in the week after an uncle had passed away. #ambient #livelooping

One of my favorite C64 at the time. I always played it solo though. Very hard to control at the start until you picked up the floating upgrade.

Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse. I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence. Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

I know there’s a lot going on in the world, and we don’t have enough attention to pay to any of it. But the throttling of Cuba by the US should be a bigger story than it is. There are about 10 million people in Cuba, subjected to horrendous collective punishment. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Knet-ter-gek die Markuszower. Oproepen tot geweld en het vermoorden van vluchtelingen.

Dat is het ook. Ter vergelijking: ik heb één commissiedebat GGZ per jaar (100.000 wachtplekken), één commissiedebat passend onderwijs (70.000 kinderen die niet naar school kunnen), één debat over dakloze mensen en ongeveer iedere twee weken een asieldebat. Geen overdrijving.

Maybe I should create a metal track. I guess I'll have to learn to play metal riffs on my 7-string bass.

ah another one for the evil sports themed metal extreme metal category to go with wimbledoom darktennis.bandcamp.com/album/wimble...

Hallo Heerhugowaard!

Having friends, people who spend time with you because they enjoy your company, is priceless. It doesn't matter how often you talk or over what topics. If a discussion fills you with happiness you know you've found a true friend. Sometimes it just clicks and people make your day. Hold onto them. 🦊

En op 1 juli komt daar de indexatie van 3,3% ook nog bovenop. Misschien toch eens op zoek naar een andere internetprovider.

Wat een mooie draad. Ik kende haar niet. Niet echt. Al was ze sinds ik in 1996 online kwam wel een soort constante factor. Het Nederlandse internet heeft veel aan haar te danken.
