Ellen Ripley:

Omni? Does the app give you 30 seconds to pay the meter after parking your car?

The VCs' brains are just pudding at this point. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Citizen Cancelled

I love how movies that star a famous foreign actor have a backstory to explain their accent. Jean Claude van Damme grew up in the Louisiana bayou. Jane Birkin is a journalist for the Daily Mirror. For some reason though Arnold Schwarzenegger is just presented as a plain American, no explanation.

Ironically AI-pilled execs are the easiest job to replace with AI

"If AI Is Sentient Then So Is Age Of Empires II" by Harlan Ellison, 1967

Give me a time machine. Now. No, I don't care if it's a one-way trip to the Neolithic.

America's degeneracy is not mental, it's moral.

Yes, they really are that stupid. Which makes the whole idea of meritocracy total bunk.

Si j'avais un resto avec un grand frigidaire j'y poserais des tables et des chaises

Sometimes science fiction does an incredible job of accurately imagining the future. Here Frederick Pohl predicted my struggle with system Python and virtualenvs

Disclosure Day was pretty meh. Disappointingly below par for Spielberg. Close Encounters or ET it was not. CGI effects in particular were *really* bad - 2006 quality not 2026.

Everyone gets a crystal on their hand at birth, when they reach 30 it starts flashing and they go to the Carousel or get chased by Michael York

People who live in shithole countries filled with armed government goons who murder with impunity and regular mass shootings should not be telling others about how great their constitution is

Jodrell Bank: Prime Minister! A meteor is about to hit London! (Starmer checks the 2024 election manifesto, no mention of meteors) Sorry lads, I'll just have to let the meteor know it's completely unacceptable to hit London

If a science fiction writer invented this back in the 1960s as a news headline for a story set in 2026 they would be told by their editor "Hey Ballard/Spinrad/Ellison, maybe knock off the hard stuff".

Project Hail Mary: a last, desperate attempt by Disney to save their Star Wars brand by releasing a film with Ryan Gosling in it

Thus announcing an effort to create a group of techies to form a computational mutual aid collective. The goal: help individuals and activist orgs leave US-based tech which is a threat vector. More info here: monroelab.com/2026/06/06/c...

Her husband was Cro-Magnon so she has some explaining to do

The American C-suite are brainless herd animals

I always thought it was hard to go door to door carrying cans of oil if you were a snake

There was an argument put out here a few months ago that the rest of the world would welcome back America as global leader with open arms. Those people were and are morally vacuous.

Titanic completes mostly successful transatlantic crossing

This right here is why nobody takes Labour seriously any more. If you think Brexit was a mistake and is holding the country back, fight to reverse it! But no, more drifting and pointless triangulation.

America's only significant exports nowadays: Slop and Hate.

The reason they keep saying "in the long term": we need to wait till every Brexit voter is six foot under

Battlefront 2 code leaked

I immediately thought that was a euphemism meaning the orange fucker had croaked

Rightly or wrongly, my brain now automatically goes "yep, written by AI" when I see a sentence like "GitHub is not slowing down on AI features. It is doubling down on them. The outages are what doubling-down looks like in production."

Starmer failed to make Brexit work for the same reason Gorbachev failed to make Marxism-Leninism work: you can't tinker your way out of a broken foundation.

Was it British Airways or a Virgin airplane

"Alko on suljettu": Akseli Gallen-Kallela, 1897

Europe needs independent social infrastructure, not just an app. This is what we're building. eurosky.tech/build/

Take a look at my big choppa! Heh Heh heh

One thing I've noticed over time is the disempowerment of developers through frameworks such as Scrum or SAFE and the proliferation of "product" thinking, OKRs etc. Kind of an industrialisation from craft to assembly line.

You can tell Musk is a teenager trapped in an older man's body because his mother caught him using a sock.

I wonder if this is because Pauline Kael was a movie critic who saw dozens of movies a week/month, and became jaded with that much input - ordinary people went to the cinema once a fortnight, and maybe saw TV movie once a week. Now we're all on streaming, we're becoming jaded like Pauline Kael.

Bamboo plastic is all very well but what if your room-mate is a panda and he eats your Playstation when you're out

I reckon the Greens should retaliate and put gigantic wind farms on all the golf courses of Reform voting strongholds

Software Engineer position open at U. Copenhagen and @aicentre.dk on the Narratives project, co-advised by @ysiglidis.bsky.social, @mariaa.bsky.social (CU Boulder), and me: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

The real conspiracy theory is not why there are so many attempts on Trump but why there are so few

The Labour parliamentary party - all 400 odd MPs - are so awash with talent they need to borrow a mayor from Manchester to be PM
