This won't kill this technology, it just makes pharma a sector dominated by European, Chinese and Indian corporations

Usha Vance Catches Husband Measuring Her Skull Again

TL;DR: we killed a bunch of people and blew up a bunch of stuff, all to end up in a worse position than we were in with Obama’s nuclear deal. (4/4)

Energy consumption graph from Home Assistant, showing that my 1000 Watt bathroom heater has used 10.7 Gigawatt-hours of energy today. That explains why it’s nice and toasty at 53 million degrees now ;-)

This is when everyone needs to put on their ape costumes.

Trump is announcing he plans to commit war crimes, and Republicans in Congress are apparently fine with that. Whatever he does, they'll have blood on their hands

Every news source needs to publicize what Trump actually said. Not sane-washing. Here is how CNN did it just now.

President Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”

This post by Trump is next level crazy. He is clearly desperate about Hormuz, but it's an almost impossible problem for him to solve. In this video, I explain why. (And also why the Europeans won't just do it for him.)

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

"The uncritical adoption of AI can lead to students not developing essential academic skills such as critical thinking and writing." www.ru.nl/en/research/...

It's systems design. It's understanding the purpose of a system that you build and making sure that system is accessible and not byzantine. My most favorable position re: AI coding tools is that it will empower humanists to replace technologists. But I'm not that hopeful given the hype.

"Developers who fully delegated to AI produced working code but failed conceptual quizzes afterward. They couldn't debug what the AI had written for them. They had the output without the understanding."

lol, overheard someone say that nowadays everyone wants to be part of a village but doesn't want to be a villager. And I can't stop thinking about it.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is an ineffectual king because he lacks the lived experience of his constituents

If I ever had a DNA editing robot I’d probably name it Gene Hackman as a little joke.

He comes off more desperate with every post

He KNOWS he violated the Constitution!

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

Most honest reporting in the past few weeks.

Is it happening again?

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

Eid Mubarak. Here is my daughter fending off a Beirut cat who belongs to the cafe but wanders in and out depending on the menu. If you celebrate, may your meal be as tempting as the makdous bi labneh was to this kitty.

Coding faster is not the problem. “If station A produces widgets faster but station B (the bottleneck) can still only process them at the same rate, all you've done is create a pile of unfinished widgets between A and B. Inventory goes up. Lead time goes up.“ andrewmurphy.io/blog/if-you-...

In 2024, Europe spent circa €375 billion on imports of fossil fuels. [consumptive: burn it, and only CO2 remains] In stark contrast, investment in renewable power and grids remains comparatively low: Europe spent €100 billion on those in 2025. [delivering clean energy for decades, and avoiding CO2]

> The question is not whether Cofnas should be permitted to hold his views[. It's] whether a public research university in Belgium should be [granting] credibility to those views, funding their dissemination, and providing them the cover of academic legitimacy. www.brusselstimes.com/2020728/the-...

Harris accused Altman of being the “Goebbels of the Trump administration.” But on Tuesday, Harris said by email: “It was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels… I should’ve said Friedrich Flick.”

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

And if you have not watched Orphan Black Tatiana Maslany was sometimes tasked with playing four different versions of characters that looked exactly like her with different accents and back stories in the same scene. I said what I said.

1. Elon didn't create PayPal. He sucked at his job so bad, that Peter Thiel fired him. Seriously. Look it up. 2. Elon did not found Tesla. He bought it, then pretended that he founded it. Seriously. Look it up. 3. The hyper loop makes zero sense and is fake. High speed rail makes sense and is real

The Thailand cave rescue where Elon threw a hissyfit and accused one of the lead rescue-divers of being a pedo because they wouldn't use his non-existing custom submarine that wouldn't fit in the cave was 2018. After that it should be obvious to anyone paying attention how Elon works.

The supply chain for seats, cabins and aircraft interiors is immensely complicated — and creaking. We now have a podcast for that. Out now: The Chain, our special limited-run, free-to-listen series running up to the Aircraft Interiors Expo next month.

Zelf mogen ze wel symboolpolitiek bedrijven met triviale kleuteronderwerpen. Splinter balk. Ook veelzeggend: altijd de polariserende pijlen gericht op LINKS; nooit op de fascisten die op kieslijsten staan.

Two things here. One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well. Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

Media & police commonly report that “speed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much. But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.

“US plan…collides with realities”: a headline appropriate for the entire Trump era

TIL Trump didn't bother to refill the strategic petroleum reserve last year when oil was dirt cheap. what can you even say www.ft.com/content/d546...
