All evidence I have seen so far shows that there is quite a bit to gain – and no information loss – replacing the phrases - "crypto", - "crypto currency" - "block-chain based" with "poisoned magic beans".

In today's @theoverspill: chatbots asked for a "controversial" take on humans say we're more loyal to belonging than to truth. Where do they get that idea?

They put THREE reporters on this dumb totally oppo story about how Mamdani is playing basketball at a police facility ar 11 pm? www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

Pakistan announced nuclear explosions at two sites in 1998: five at Ras Koh on May 28, then another in the Kharan Desert on May 30. @coreyah.bsky.social identified where the Kharan shot likely happened. I processed 1998 SPOT & LANDSAT imagery and ... she's right! Clear ground disturbance.

Holy shit. "AG Todd Blanche Instructed Maxwell Not to Discuss a Specific Survivor Whose Account Implicated Trump ... Five Women Accuse Trump of Rape or Sexual Assault in Epstein’s Company or Presence ... Criminal Ties Among Trump, Epstein ... Paolo Zampolli and Known Pedophile John Casablancas"

Hearing about friends getting layoff package offers. Laid off myself. Pretty grim tbh.

Getting attendance back to pre-pandemic levels is not a sensible goal. Children need to stay home when sick, and now there's a whole new virus for them to catch. The goal should be finding ways to help children's learning recover from absence. (It doesn't appear to be this government's goal either).

“Liberals are the new racists” - The old racists

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

I didn't watch the 2012 Olympic opening or closing ceremonies. Content-wise amazing story, staging and coreography. Watching on YouTube - the sound mix on the closing ceremony is really just ... bad. Would have thought that the IOC would have fixed it.

SNL UK covers the php crisis better than most mainstream news

Elon's hundreds of millions of dollars are buying wall to wall lies during weekend NFL games.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

Voting doesn’t start in Kaukapakapa until the 31st so I guess i don’t see why we had to rush and close enrollment so early? Bad politicians like Luxon get voted in when good people don’t vote! #NZPol

"Tenzing" on Apple TV+ is a satisfying watch.

About a quarter of NPR affiliate stations are tied to public universities. And as the Trump administration has cracked down on higher education, public radio outlets find themselves in an increasingly precarious position with the schools that house them. lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

interestingly this interest in black voters doesn’t extend to the republican effort to deprive them of federal representation, nor do they seem interested in asking whether republican candidates are burdened by the fact that trump talks like a klansman

pundits are basically bored by the idea that these democratic candidates are not meaningfully behind with black voters and so are trying to conjure a controversy into existence

Turning internet into an inferno of billions of AI swarms relentlessly trying to bring down hospitals and banks does seem like the most solid revenue generator these people have come up with.

‘It’s magic’: scientists rediscover how to make ancient Roman colour-changing glass

Since everyone is talking about cheesecake factory, one of my favorite fun facts about that place is they (unusually for a chain) make almost all of the food of their giant menu in house. The big exception, ironically, is the cheesecake

www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQKu... Feels like Dr Andrew Bagshaw should be mentioned in the dispatches, if he hasn't been already.

This whole thread is 🤣

With just six half-hour episodes, POLICE SQUAD remains, pound for pound, the single funniest television program ever produced.

Ate two chocolate smurfs today; bit their heads off.

It’s your last day to be able to register to vote in NZ. Go register and then go vote!! Make your voice matter. #nzpol

I haven’t been active here for a few years, and for the last 18 months that’s been doubly true because I’ve been building D3 nights and weekends with some pretty awesome folks. If you’re a 5e GM or know one, please sign up for the beta to try our VTT! Or if you want to play a one shot, let me know.

I'm glad that "MUSK" got a theatrical release, not a lot of documentaries do, but I get why a lot of people would rather watch a film like this from home just a few more weeks before you can rent it!

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

Good night. Staying up way too late.
