My money is on Mikkelsen.

yes, i was surprised - i thought i was about to get stung with some oasis type price swindling shenanigans

Online ticketing shock - it was fairly easy to register, wait and get tickets for #nickcave.

Cannot stress enough how it is already possible to report potholes www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

If you fear or regulate AI in *any way*, according to nobody’s favourite billionaire psycho Peter Thiel… …then apparently you are *literally* “hastening the coming of the antichrist”. You gotta keep #prompting4jesus

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

A tiny thing bugs me about a tiny bug thing. If the eye could get in through the food trough so easily, why couldn’t it get out…? #alienearth

Right then. Can’t wait to watch this season finale which I’m sure will totally satisfy its own arc and not spend the majority of the time winking at the execs behind the camera to commission a second season. #alienearth #watchingtvin2025

Existential Dredd “AM I THE LAW?”

I was part of a working group on AI and Fraternity assembled by the Vatican. We met in Rome and worked on this over two days. I am happy to share the result of that intense effort: a Declaration we presented to the Pope and other government authorities coexistence.global

One of the main ways that "gen AI" bullshit and the bullshitters attendant thereto have fucked everything for everyone is that they fully succeeded in their attempts to obfuscate and occult what "AI" means, so now people hate the very concept structure of the term, even down to its far less bad uses

The fox needs access to the hen coop ASAP, to prevent disaster

Writing for Pitchfork used to be a game of Grandmother’s Footsteps where the average review score would creep up slowly until the editors would send an email around saying “the 6.x score does exist you know” and the cycle would begin again

Yes everyone stop what you're doing and just watch it trust me www.youtube.com/watch?v=8al5...

Random question - where might a community build a #wiki today?

RAPTCHA

It’s not too much of a stretch to imagine a pharma lobbying effort directed at the Trump administration to rid the market of cheap pain relief medication like paracetamol.

"I'm worried that all the fru fra about our discovery of bias being systematically uploaded ignores the fact that some people actually, culpably choose to write biased AI" joanna-bryson.blogspot.com/2017/07/thre...

Watched The Big Short again last night. Lessons from the past and all that.

According to the Bible, nobody knows what the date of The Second Coming is. So, if we assign everyone a day where they know for a certainty that Armageddon is nigh, we can delay The Rapture inevitably.

The stretch of London between Victoria and Westminster now gives off proper Peripheral vibes.

Sorry, what? A supplier is to invest $100bn in one of its own customers, in exchange for stock in that customer (rather than, say, actual cash), and their share price still goes… up? #nvidia #openai on.ft.com/46ie8gD Nvidia to invest up to $100bn in OpenAI

In this short piece, I lean on embodied cog sci to argue that we should refuse & resist llms in education (pp. 53-58) unesdoc.unesco.org/in/documentV... "the classroom is an environment where love, trust, empathy, care & humility are fostered & mutually cultivated through dialogical interactions"

like so many products to come out of silicon valley in the last decade or so, AI is a legal innovation masquerading as a tech innovation. the legal theory seems to be that AI is entitled to everything but liable for nothing.

This is very funny

*record scratch* “Yeah, that’s me, Ryan Gosling, acclaimed international film star, looking like Simon Le Bon in yet another comeback video for Duran Duran. You may be wondering how I got into this mess. Well, let me take you back…” #starwars

Queueing for this. Hoping the last second of the video is not some extra jealousy they’re throwing in. #rollercoaster

It was unfortunate to see the right-wing US pundit on #newsnight last night claim the same thing, and go relatively unchallenged on it.

These ones?

“Smart glasses just had their iPhone moment” is the stupidest thing I’ve read today, and that’s amongst some pretty tough competition.

This is not a political party. It’s an argument in the comments section of a Novara Media article. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh wow—just found this piece on the Kaiser Future game. Less corporate diversification and more a far-sighted piece of strategy/futures thinking and marketing content—love the idea of this being mailed to government and business leaders. @willsh.bsky.social this is very relevant to your interests.

That's amazing. There was a great Medium piece a few years ago by Scott Smith of Changeist, who I know through @willsh.bsky.social - it's a small world when it comes to games about predicting the future. medium.com/@changeist/p...

Oh I’m fully with you - my facetiousness got lost in the noise. But yeah - Ethernet is a thing. And it clearly wasn’t the goddamn WiFi. It’s exactly the kind of context failure that routinely happens with LLMs. But easier for him to lie about it obvs and telling that Zuckerberg runs with it.

Guys, I don’t think it was the WiFi… smithery.com/2025/09/18/z...

Sure, this is the future.

Might as well set up a massive Looney Tunes closing screen at the US Border… I’m not sure how a democracy comes back from here.

It is wild that Charlie Kirk of all things is becoming *the* litmus test. Even just talking about the event publicly without a sufficient supply of sackcloth and ashes is cast as "promoting political violence." I haven't seen this kind of mandatory performance of allegiance and piety since 9/11.

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

Can’t believe they’ve recast the actor playing Mudryk. #chelsea

get a load of this stupid

its happening tomorrow #setup ecologicalcitizens.co.uk/upcoming-eve... #museumofmaking #derby #ecologicalcitizens @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social, @sei.org, @wrexhamuni.bsky.social

I thought these guys were under strict instructions not to mention the grooming anymore?

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

This is like watching someone playing FIFA who hasn’t worked out where all the buttons are yet. #spurs

Damn, I’m think I’m talking myself into rebuilding the Smithery site in Ghost.

The new Corbyn/Sultana party is to be named by online vote. Because naming things by online vote is always taken very seriously and never goes wrong… 🤨

Yes, yes you are. Stop cosplaying "legitimate concerns". When you join a far right rally, organised by well known far right leader Tommy Robinson, with a host of speakers who outright say they are far right, you are a racist. No ifs, buts or maybes. There are no excuses for being there.
