POLITE REQUEST (yes, it's in capitals) I have no interest in Crypto, TechBro or StartUp Cultures. I don't really require or easily accept glib, anodyne 'motivational' advisors (unless it's me). And I can only really sufficiently manage to read English French or Danish with coherence. #PleaseUnfollow

Dear compounders of generic paracetomol for major retailers, please reconsider your packaging materials so that your product leaves it wholly intact every time. Foil so strong that 50% of caplets break into fragments when pushed through is poor work. #FFS

Yet more reason to consign that inane 'move fast & break things' Fuckerberg mantra back to the infantile Super Mario Bros. context where it might have once had a slim, meaningful utility.

Too Long; Didn't Write

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Surprised that more is not made of the rank hypocrisy of AI Execs wishing to keep their impressionable LLMs & Botbrains well away from accessing the Internet until they have matured in their development enough to refrain from self-destructive, counter-productive & illegal activities.

I’m an officer of the law and what you’re doing is illegal!!! Yes, thank you, NYPD. And whoever’s backing them up. I guess it’s the president. Oops I mean the mayor.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

If you have an hour spare over the weekend have a listen to Michael Kiwanuka's new album 'Fudge'.

Ukraine's railway gets Finnish diesels that don't need the grid Russia has hit almost 600 Ukrainian locomotives. Finland is sending 10 retiring diesels that carry their own power, so trains keep moving in blackouts. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/10/23/f...

In my new Expert Voices column @science.org, I argue that the Trump admin's science strategy (as written in Kratsios' Science: A Golden Age)--which gives more authority & funding to the private sector to direct the research enterprise--will harm science, and further erode its public accountability.

Newsflash. These 300 jobs will still be lost. Some data on UK oil industry subsidies also needed.

I struggled to find much that was funny in 'Little Britain' sketches but "Computer says no" is now even less funny. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are watching a piece of shit US president sell out Ukraine to Russia in real time. This is a moment of shame for America and the world. Stand with Ukraine

This is fucked. Really bleak how entrenched this is becoming.

Rubio, Hegseth, Trump himself keep obfuscating about contributing to civilian deaths in 🇺🇦 by failing to provide necessary intelligence/weapons procurement. Muttering about refinery strikes affecting 🇺🇸 diesel prices. Isn't it jeopardising 🇷🇺 election interference which they now rely on in mid-terms?

Panasonic Holdings is accelerating plans to mass-produce solar cells that can be embedded in glass, bolstering Japan's push into the next-generation technology and expanding renewable energy deployment.

You Know It's True, Donnie DIPSHIT........

What a horrendous proposition.

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump puts new Russia sanctions passed by Congress on hold, saying a waiver is in the US national interest.

Can anyone explain the mass proliferation of data centres in terms of quantum computing/processing advances/research? Because I thought quantum was the real future option. Mass data per se seems more a contain/control hierarchy thing. Is there a symbiosis or are they distinct/competing goals?

Daytime BBC's thirst for renovation tv has them showing RTE's 'Great House Revival'. Window delays, wrangling sustainability into old masonry etc. Hugh Wallace may be a fine architect but as presenter/narrator his language, diction & exposition are painfully over-engineered. Much like his zany specs
