This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.

Post a TV show that starts with the letter B.

Reminder: even if you're sure it's a legit transaction, DON'T pay for a publishing- or marketing-related service w/ wire transfer, bank apps like Zelle, or the peer-to-peer option w/ platforms like Cash App. Scammers love these because they are hard or impossible to reverse. 1/3

So this just happened in my timeline... #NoSuchThingAsCoincidences

Always found it rather adorable that Orks make their war machines in the image of their gods.

Do russians actually think that inviting freakazoids like Owens, Carlson or Tate to one of their two semi-decent-looking cities and getting their praise for... *checks notes* having churches and supermarkets is a big brag or something...? 🤔

This is a long shot, but does anyone know of any youth centres/charities in the Salford and Greater Manchester area who would like a free pool table? My dad has one he'd like to give away and he's having a hard time finding anyone who wants one.

Good news, ladies: Richard Dawkins is single again.

"Sorry boss I can't be creative and visionary today, the Regurgitator™ is not working"

oh no how will we generate pure unrefined mediocrity from the midden heap of stolen human interactions where will I get my fresh artbarf, my hot steaming infoslurry

Oh shit. You know that iconic AI chat where the user asks it a basic msths problem and it says something ridiculous? I’ve just encountered that in the wild with a coffee order. The system has sent me 250g and billed me for 1kg. Initially it sees no discrepancy. Prompted, it escalates to a human.

🍿🤣

The other present that keeps on giving.

now and forever

New toilet guidance From the new Private Eye, out now.

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

December 1988 and the glorious cover of White Dwarf 108 depicts titans during the Horus Heresy era! Adeptus Titanicus being the first separate 40K game released. exploringwarhammer.substack.com/p/another-ke... #Warhammer

I’ve been thinking a lot about the shifting baseline concept as applied to everyday life. People in their 20’s now have no memory of highly functional systems, products (from blenders to sweaters) that were so well made you could hand them down across generations, or even helpful customer service.

Discworld QOTD, from The Fifth Elephant

The thing about the “give it away, make it indispensable, start charging” method - which is a time honored, if somewhat annoying, business practice - is that if you misjudge how indispensable your thing will be…it all falls down. And when the only people you’re listening to is other AI evangelists…

Looking for a cultural consultant who has lived a significant amount of time in Tokyo for an upcoming board game set in Tokyo with a silly take on Kaiju. DMs open or reply here.

As probably no surprise to anybody it took longer to apply this Cope scheme™ than the naZi truck spend on the road (in working order).

Yet more proof that if God exists he's a sadist 😅

According to Imperial Armour Siege of Vraks part 1, an example krieg infantry company has around 740 individuals. If you were to make an entire regiment in miniature form, how many companies would be enough to give an adequate sense of scale? (ignoring the cost of the minis required) #nerdlings

Graham Platner: ‘I Didn’t Know Extramarital Sexting Was A Symbol For Cheating’

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

One of the really challenging things about being a con/heist writer is keeping up on all the security systems and clever ways of breaching network security, and i’m a little offended at companies just installing giant AI backdoors into their own systems and taking the fun out of it.

Oh no. People are going to have to actually need the skills to do their jobs. The tragedy. I wonder how many 'coders' this will implement, and how often Bluesky's about to go down in the next week?

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

if you drew the fucking Joker like this they'd tell you to dial it back a bit

It's Monday, it's the beginning of June and this is a #RandomWhiteDwarfCover Issue 7. June/July 1978

Weightwatchers 40K.

Well, yes, of course. No EU jobs for No-EU-ers. Shocker.

All the more reason to take away their money.

I always go back to this photo when thinking about colours.. All these... German Fieldgrey... It is perfectly acceptable to have a slightly different uniform colour. Wear and tear, sun damage, different producers, supplies, raw materials, or rationing. Hundreds of reasons for a slight change.

Crash and burn, baby, crash and burn 😅

So, everyone just going to let them steal your retirement to build data centers to surveil you, steal your electricity, your water, your land, public land, the future? I mean WTAF are we doing here?!!!

naZi trucks go boom

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Obviously before he joined Take That.

In hashtags, it helps if each new word starts with a capital letter. Otherwise, sighted users could see a string of letters and not immediately know where one word ends and a new word begins. Capitalized words also help screen readers properly read out the hashtag.
