With all this talk of Greenland, I recommend having a look at a map that doesn't make it look as big as North America. Personal favourite, Fuller's Dymaxion projection. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxio...

Loved Carney's speech in Davos (didn't have that on my bingo card) but I can't stop imagining people in small and/or poorer countries thinking "bro, unequal world order? D'uh! we could have told you this decades ago, nice of you to finally catch on."

I'm assuming this has already been memefied?

My iPad upgraded to iOS 26 a couple of hours ago, without asking. What the hell is this redesign? We're they trying to break everything on purpose?? (I know, it's been around, I've just been dodging news of this 💩. Microsoftian changes.)

This is really cool. It feels important to add that, as reported in the news story, this research used a neural network tool called Pythia, specifically designed to work with peptide sequences & structures, and which is nothing like LLMs such as GPT.

He should have renamed the company to FacePalm instead of Meta. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ gizmodo.com/meta-reporte...

Hard to disagree.

In case you're like me and wonder, every few hours, what have they done now? I threw this together ... a year ago? whathavetheydone.now

The absolute dumbest possible timeline. That's what we live in.

Really looking forward to my shoelaces' look back on 2025, I think it'd the only review I haven't received yet.

In my opinion, it's not at all impossible that Melon Husk's name ends up going down in history not as a real life Tony Stark, but as the guy who caused the Kessler effects that ruins space for everyone. techstartups.com/2025/12/18/s... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler...

Plur1bus but not focused on uber-Karen. Who's with me?

This news is all over my timeline, but it might not be making its way into yours, so I’m making sure it is. It is a very bad development for both science and maintaining a safe society.

So if I understand correctly, every app icon "upgrade" for IOS now needs to look like 💩. Did I get this right?

'Her library estimates that 15 percent of emailed reference questions it receives are now ChatGPT-generated, and some include hallucinated citations for both published works and unique primary source documents. “For our staff, it is much harder to prove that a unique record doesn’t exist,”she says.'

"The US gov. gets a 25% cut." He's really running a racket/company and not a country, isn't he? www.cnbc.com/2025/12/08/t...

Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth

SYTR Saved, Yet To Read. For users of read later apps who's pile of un-reads is ... healthy? Out of control? In need of a trim? cc @readwise.bsky.social

“Planned in an area battling drought, the project’s water needs would also be vast, rivalling the annual use of hundreds of thousands of Alberta households.” www.theenergymix.com/exclusive-ol...

Nicely put.

I wonder if he's going to change 30% of the new name too? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“At least eight projects are underway to build hyperscale data centres in Canada, according to the federal government. But as such projects face greater scrutiny around the world, Canada is jumping into the AI construction race with few mechanisms to protect its water supply.”

Black Friday, when every tech publication looks like a pile of coupons.

Maybe I'm not a business genius but WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP GIVING SAM ALTMAN MONEY?

I wonder how many of the thousands upon thousands of Youtube and Medium productivity and growth hackers and whatever who keep using "development goals" as examples and inject it into their prompts, vaults, courses, tricks, tips, etc. actually, you know, ... develop?

The Vatican returned 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, a historic restitution that is part of the Catholic Church's reckoning with its role in helping suppress Indigenous culture. n.pr/43T2xmD

Also, I swear there's more golden 💩 everywhere each time I see a picture of the oval office.

Timeline cleanse: Yesterday I was introduced to the teporingo (volcano rabbit) — it’s like a rabbit crossed with a pika and is only found on Popocatépetl and three of the other volcanoes near Mexico City: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano...

Favourite term of the week, “bragawatts”. (Speculative/announced multi-gigawatt data centers.)

Bahahahahaha The New York Times just printed an opinion piece declaring "AI is intelligent, so long as we redefine what intelligence means to include it. And soon AI will be conscious, because we'll just redefine consciousness too!" Nothing means anything! Yay! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

Absolutely the greatest thing to happen to a bookish teen with a sense of drama. '“I didn’t want to say immediately it was me,” he said. “With this photo there is a mystery, so you have to make it last.”'

Who could have possibly predicted this? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Who's surprised?

Instead of their headline, I'm going to go with "People are having fewer kids. The world's economy is limiting their choices." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
