Thanks to emulation, the seconds will never stop ticking

oh come on, the Oct 8 rallies weren't in mourning for Gaza, they were in celebration of Oct 7.

In Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp, ProPublica documented at least 54 children dying in one hospital from malnutrition in 2025, a surge that began when families rationed food after the WFP/USAID cuts. www.propublica.org/article/keny...

Reminder that Musk literally shared Russian disinformation to justify his USAID cuts

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

the term "consequence-free sex" implies you think there should be consequences for it

Do we still do #ff? In which case follow @terriblemapshq.bsky.social for, er, terrible maps, though their finest work is on Facebook. eg

Bending Spoons tries out an odd kind of financial magic trick ft.trib.al/FkUwOEh | opinion

POV: very, very ordinary people in a v ordinary setting. That is the 7 Swiss govt members on their annual 2-day trip called #Bundesratsreisli. No secret service, just lots of unscripted contact with citizens. And the ppl reward them for it: the Swiss govt enjoys the highest trust levels worldwide

Cinemas are a ripoff

every time I see this I think how the girl it's about probably saw it, and how she felt. what a graceless little shit Douthat is and how absurd it is that the NYT has forced this talentless hack on the public sphere for two decades plus

Slop slop sloppity slop. "Mutual aid hubs" give me a fucking break

"Mutual Aid" is brain leakage from the girlfriend who wanted to violate campaign finance laws by turning her campaign into a mutual aid hub.

In a very Indy-like move, we've unearthed a never-before-seen Lucasfilm Games Indiana Jones adventure! Note that we said "adventure," not "game." For possibly the first time ever, here's Indiana Jones and the Quest for Paradise VGA, the best ten-minute commercial you'll see this week.

Thanks to AMD's recent update, FSR4 for discrete RDNA3 GPUs and Steam Machine is now available for Linux/SteamOS through Proton Experimental!

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

holy shit bsky has a water sealant expert that predicted the reflecting pool failure mode perfectly

It's early in the morning, but man, those are some red flags - probably have to read Guest 2026 to get a sense of what they are talking about. But these terms come out of a field of research in data science - as indicated by the research papers cited - and it's gauche to critique a field like this.

The kind of catfishing I can get behind.

Like, I'm sorry but just from a tactical standpoint hurling "antisemitic" at the wildly popular Mayor of New York City who very clearly has no problem with Jews is not undermining Mamdani, it's undermining people's perception of anti-semitism as a bad thing. A child could see that. A fucking child!

imagine if Adolf Eichmann was an insecure stammering imbecile

My guiding principle is that platforms actually don't — or even can't — suppress anything beyond nudity, gore, swears, some hate speech, etc. But I do think they can promote different content and incentivize users to make more of it. Which is what I think is happening on YouTube right now.

This weekend DoorDash tweeted about the World Cup but repeatedly tagged T-Pain, as if they were mixing him up with NZ soccer player Tim Payne. T-Pain got in on it too, acting confused. Turns out it was all a "partnership." No ad disclosure on any of the posts. www.theverge.com/news/954145/...

This really is something he will never be able to accept because a natural human response to accepting you have caused this much death for no reason involves a cyanide capsule

Count Dooku being venerated post hoc as the sort of Sun Yat-sen of the New Republic is an extremely funny ongoing bit, and Disney's refusal to embrace this is further evidence of their creative poverty and cowardice

For no particular reason, thinking back to that time the Prime Minister of Canada visited @perimeterinstitute.ca and got really excited about quantum computing

Die @sicherheitspod.de-Plüschis sind zurück! Diesmal im antiken Griechenland... und mit der Diskussion, ob es diese »Thukydides-Falle« überhaupt gibt. Mehr dazu in Folge #109 @sicherheitspod.de. Und mehr Plüschis dank Tesnim ab demnächst auf YouTube, TikTok, Instagram!

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

YOU ARE A BETTER FATHER THAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Therapy ferrets used to kill rats at UK’s largest children’s prison

See photos of officials and residents in a small Japanese city working together to practice their emergency response to bear encounters, acting out a simulation on the campus of a primary school.

MUPPET AND COMMANDER!

great comment and this probably also deserves a post because navigating this (often unintentional) sleight of hand in comparisons is exhausting

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

this is so deranged that i am pretty sure i can in the future simply send the screenshot to people when asked my opinion of the israeli government

Bittere Bilanz der WM 1994 in den USA: 27 Spieler verdurstet, weil es keine Trinkpausen gab [Postillon-Titelseite vom 18. Juli 1994] www.der-postillon.com/1994/07/trin...

historians are divided on whether trump was actually a real person, or the stories of a large series of petty tyrants over a period of perhaps 100 years whose stories got merged and blended together back when AI was unsophisticated and new

As a physicist I find this hilarious. The angle of the photo is so shallow that it’s almost impossible to see the color of the water; at that angle, in that lighting, the water almost 100% just reflects the sky. So congrats to Dept of Interior for figuring out how to make the water blue, I guess?

i really love how inscrutable the fucking Enter the Matrix launcher is...what is any of this shit. "allow gamma". "force object lod". force it to what. on? off? min? max? what is meant by w-buffer. what the fuck is Classical FPS

The lid of a storage tank at the Moscow Oil Refinery was blown off and sent flying.

#UE6 introduces Verse, a programming language that can distribute large-scale computations over hundreds of servers and thousands of CPUs automatically, in real-time. Which is proably Epic's best shot at making their launcher run smoothly 💀

This software was a thing when I grew up and I always thought it's called "Doctor DOS" - so I can sympathize en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR-DOS

Ed Zitron Just Disproved the Core Claim Behind His AI Bubble Case (that the AI labs have negative gross margins and are hurtling toward bankruptcy as a result) www.obsolete.pub/p/ed-zitron-...

It’s pretty funny that the takeaway from Zitron getting the leaked OpenAI financials is that they are in fact a ~40% gross margin business on inference like everybody suspected but he himself continues to vehemently deny
