Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

Reading The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions and at each page I am like

There are two Lefts. One that offends the Right. And one that is offended the other Left would do such a thing.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

The blue sky, the frost in the grass, The mist rising from the meadow, The grazing sun shining on The orange leaves in the fall. Who the fuck booked a meeting?

The French trashed the McDonalds, looted the Apple Store and Luis Vuitton's hand bags. All run by global billionaires. But they left the French Chicken shop untouched.

My mom got some great images of some paddling witches.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

For 15 years devs have been hating on Producers/Product Managers for talking to them via Jira. Devs appreciated me for not being like that. Now devs want me to talk to their Claude over Jira. We are cooked

The discourse: all up in arms about the Cornell seven My daughter in her quarterly parent/teacher meeting: Boys in the class are sexist The teacher: yeah, yeah, next point Long way to go

Protests that started in Spain and then spread to France and Brazil have now started in Belgium. People are sick of being told there is 'no money' by billionaires who are becoming trillionaires.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

My favorite feature of windows 11 is having to reconnect every USB-C hub twice every time I connect one to my laptop

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Temperaturen runt ekvatorn i Stilla Havet är nu 29.98°C. Vilken dag som helst så måste grafen göras om så att kurvan får plats…. Kurvan som inte bara krossar alla tidigare rekord utan också rör sig åt ett helt nytt håll.

lotta people out here bragging about "training models" but why do that when you can model trains

Jag föddes i en gerillafamilj. Vi var på flykt i fyra länder under två års tid innan vi hamnade i Sverige. När vi fick permanent uppehållstillstånd och jag visste att det var här jag skulle få växa upp var det en oerhörd tyngd som försvann jag inte visste att jag bar på. #stoppatonårsutvisningarna

imagine being a heretic AND getting zero bitches? like pick a struggle

As we enter a new quarter, time for an update on games industry layoffs. As you can see here we're well past 50k people known to be impacted since 2020 in over 800 incidents. with 3 months to go, 2026 could end as the worst year on record. 55% of known layoff waves in 2026 have unknown headcounts.

Really funny how phones now have automated robot answering machines to answer suspected robot spam calls. No human intervention required. Phones now existing as robot PvP devices completely divorced from benefitting society in any way. It rules.

Just needs alt-text:

Clicking Google's fun whimsical throwback logo today sends you to an AI chat pre-filled with a goofy prompt and immediately hits you with a warning that it is potentially dangerous to continue. You couldn't make a better commentary on how badly they have fucked up the internet if you tried.

I don't know if the movie is good, but if all the billionaires are colluding to make sure nobody watches it, I'll signal boost this for now. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

SANDERS: Trump claims we pay lowest prices in the world for prescription drugs. Wow! Is he telling the truth? OVERTON: There has been immense progress- S: Do we pay lowest prices like POTUS said? You just told us you're gonna stand up to him O: We have seen- S: Is it true? O: *more dissembling*

Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors. "[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."

Hey there friends! Unfortunately, I was among those impacted by layoffs at Heart Machine last week. If you or someone you know is looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Technical Artist, I'm available for full time, part time, or contract opportunities.

To become an artist you need: • a pencil • years of practice Democratizing art involves making pencils and time more accessible to all. Claims that the time part can be skipped are as ludicrous as claiming a prompt can make you a professional athlete without a minute of sports practice.

Since a dev shared his game concept last month, Steam has been flooded with vibe-coded slop clones. This is what "democratising creativity" actually looks like. Even with AI, your ideas are worthless as long as they can be plagiarised at scale. Gen AI was designed for plagiarism, NOT creativity.

There's no neutrality when it comes to genocide. You're either against genocide, or you're an Ed Sheeran.

The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour. This is the statement they published on Instagram:
