„X again marks the Spot” - John Gruber, Oct 11 2026 “X is having a moment” - M.G. Siegler, Oct 12 2026

This is great, because most parents think of their children as callous dullards who hate animals, so it's really picked out the traits that makes her daughter unique, here.

Jesus this is so bleak 🫣

Das Leben in der Ukraine 2026: Die Luftalarmapp zeigt inzwischen, wohin ungefähr etwa die Drohnen fliegen, während die App der Bahn die Menschen seit ein paar Tagen beim Kartenkauf darüber informiert, wie oft der jeweilige Zug während der Fahrt im Schnitt evakuiert wird.

New Update from my favourite side-hustle:

Liebe Menschen in meiner Bluesky Bubble! Gemeinsam mit meinem Team von Eat 30 Plants haben wir diese Woche endlich die lang versprochene Android Version unserer App gelaunched. Hier könnt ihr sie downloaden: play.google.com/store/apps/d... Mehr Infos gibts auf unserer Website: eat30plants.app 💚🫰

This US administration’s whitewashing of Russian atrocities will go down in history as a dark and shameful chapter. I can only hope Trump is impeached and held accountable for his actions.

don't threaten me with a good time!

Hab ja geschrieben, dass ukrainische Gegenschläge auf russische Rechenzentren wegen der starken Zentralisierung des dortigen Netzes viel effektiver sein könnten. Das stimmt. Dieses Massenteilen von ausgedachten oder kontextlosen Grafiken zu Botaktivitäten bringt jedoch niemanden weiter.

Weird, quite a few high profile accounts I follow are following this pure AI slop account

Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.

The future we were promised vs. the future we unfortunately have and need

Weekend Reading: Lest diesen Blog Eintrag von @tante.cc

Tonight I took the car and drove across all of Kyiv, just to see how my beloved city feels at this time. It’s a strange feeling.

That there is no one in the whole organization who could say: "Ladies. Gentlemen. These examples do look quite desperate, if I may so myself. Do we have anything actually useful to show, or should we, perchance, skip this during the presentation?" is so, so very Corporate America in 2026, too.

These are not serious people

»But we gotta keep making the most unpleasant and unrelatable people on the planet rich. That’s the main driving force of the last decade. And it leaves us all poorer, not just economically but scientifically, spiritually and emotionally.« 💯

You’ll find that some “uncharted waters” are actually well charted but the people driving the boat are not interested in looking at maps, because wrecking ships is just part of nautical culture.

Ridiculed Zelensky for his outfit but sends his own son in law like this to Putin 🙃

Oh Look. Another one of those super insightful essays of a „tech leader“: “AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice…” Wow so deep 🙄

Oddly relatable

Reading a NL about AI & Design Systems and of course it‘s written by AI. The paragraph still looks normal. The sentences build upon each other. It stops being an engaging read altogether. 😑

Es ist doch verblüffend: Da wählt die CDU einen 70-Jährigen aus der Provinz zum Vorsitzenden und zum Kanzler, der noch nie regierte, nichtmal auf Lokalebene, der zwar immer "Wirtschaft" brüllt, aber noch nie ein Unternehmen führte, und schon erweist er sich als Pfeife! www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...

Seems like situational awareness only gets you so far… 🥁

Please use AI…

Fire in the sky, political fracturing, a reduction in naval trade, economic uncertainty, agriculture is suffering due to plague, and the Odyssey is premiering? Welcome back, Greek Dark Ages.

Wilhoits Gesetz schlägt wieder zu. Spahn ist ehrlich genug nochmal deutlich zu machen, was Konservatismus wirklich will: In-Groups (Spahns Familie), die vom Gesetz beschützt aber nicht gestraft werden & Out-Groups (wir), die vom Gesetz gestraft aber nicht beschützt werden.

Oh, those European bottle caps :)))

FIFA? more like FAFO 🤓

Russia hit a residential building in Podil. ㅤ Another Kyiv home was torn open tonight — not a trench, not a base, not a military target. ㅤ This is Russia’s terror when it cannot break Ukraine at the front: it comes for ordinary life. Support link is in our Bio.

»Goldman Sachs builds an altar to Benjamin in their lobby and cuts out the heart of a junior analyst on it every Friday. They call it “Blood Sacrifice Friday.” The name isn’t catchy, but the event becomes a management favorite nonetheless.«

Wenn wir statt "Künstliche Intelligenz" oder "KI-Software", nur noch "Maschine", "Gerät" oder "Automat" sagen, verschwindet sofort der Harry-Potter-trifft-2001-Vibe, von dem die "KI"-Branche profitiert, und Sätze wie: "Ein Automat formuliert meine Texte" hören sich einfach viel ehrlicher an.

How would you caption this image? I'll start: "Did you see the lid blown off?"

Versteh beim besten Willen nicht, warum das nicht alle wollen.

this sounds like a very cool thing? 💙

This review perfectly sums up Widow’s Bay: “[…] a horror-comedy that manages to be both an incredibly funny and dense laugh-out-loud joke machine and a genuinely scary and menacing fright fest. Neither generic marker takes precedence over the other; they are mutually, ecstatically intertwined.”
