I love that you can show a dangly toy to a kitten for the first time and they instantly understand What Must Happen

#Israel has murdered over 400 United Nations staff in 3 years. #Israeli regime has suffered no negative consequences for this and across much of the world, especially in the West, the murders of UN staff have instead been defended & supported. It's just one of those things Israel is entitled to.

we cannot co-exist with people like this. we either find a way to excise them, or we let them choke us with their ignorance.

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

Just to be clear, we do NOT use AI to make games at PUNKCAKE Délicieux. Honestly it's annoying to have to say it, but since I keep seeing "gamedevs are all secretly using it"... Well, no. AI is for losers. That's not how you make good, creative and/or meaningful games. The art is in the craft.

⚡US delaying Patriot missiles already paid for under NATO initiative, Zelensky says.

Here Chanterelle coooomes!

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times. 92 per cent had not been sentenced. A third had not even been charged. The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state.

This is a pogrom, no different than what the Cossacks did to Jewish communities in the Pale of Settlement.

#ScampiVonMonkeyface has decreed that it am fuss tiem.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

In other news, Binx really loves toast. Like REALLY LOVES TOAST. Like will cut a bitch for toast. So POV of me trying to eat some toast. Yup. #cats #becurious

“Blade Runner” concept art by Syd Mead. Of all his paintings for the film, this one is easily my favorite.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

The US is protecting a war criminal who slaughtered thousands of people with chemical weapons. Where have I heard that one before? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

EVEN IF generative AI... had guardrails against abuse (it doesn't) was good for the environment (it's not) and was accurate all the time (not even close) it was still created by scraping billions of works of creative labour without consent, compensation, or even notification.

They are simply two lil shroom children

Morning greetings from Bungalu! Someone is clearly pleased to see us this morning – although whether that swinging trunk is a greeting or an attempt to investigate the camera is up for debate! Bungalu spent weeks alone in the Tsavo wilderness before he was rescued.

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

AI has not made us better, more productive, more successful or grown the economy outside of GPU sales and data center construction. It has also made the price of every single device of every kind more expensive, depressed the housing market, and increased literally everybody’s cost of debt.

Exxon is now expecting a 2.5 - 3C rise by 2050 But says f*ck you - we are just going to keep right on sucking up as much gas and oil as we can Because even though we know what's coming, we really don't give a sh*t www.reuters.com/business/ene...

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

I went to one of my favorite places in Vermont yesterday, Queen City Cat Lounge, to visit the adoptable cats and just look at this jobless wastrel. www.queencitycatlounge.com

Three Palestinians, including the son of Gaza Health Ministry Director-General Munir al-Bursh, were killed by Israeli army fire in the enclave on Saturday, as Tel Aviv continues its violations of a truce in place since October 2025. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260919-isr...

This is the "moderate" president of Israel, overriding the wishes of the IDF (!) to pardon a cold blooded, cowardly murderer who shot a helpless man in the head as he lay incapacitated on the ground. The problem in Israel is wider than the Netanyahu-led far right. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It's very exciting when I have my legs crossed in bed. Wow so tall wow!

HUGE EXCLUSIVE from @bloomberg.com Inside the US ‘Kill Chain’ That Destroyed an Iranian School Pentagon investigators discovered that flawed intel, outdated imagery & overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Sprite is so neeeeedy!

They clearly want me to get up and feed them, but little do they know it is impossible to get up when they're being cute on me! The irony!!

Hard to believe that I had capacity to loathe this nazi scumbag even more, but…guess I do! May he fall into a K-hole and never get out. www.advocate.com/politics/ele...

Haaretz exposé: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received an explicit warning from UAE President bin Zayed days before October 7. He didn't brief Israel's security chiefs. 🔗https://tr.ee/s78NFy

Socialist leader Salvador Allende became Chile’s president on this day in 1970. Allende’s election inaugurated a unique experiment in radical democracy that was cut short by Augusto Pinochet’s brutal US-backed coup.

The bar for progressive policies is: "did this unilaterally solve the entire gigantic systemic issue without making a single person sad?" The bar for conservative policies is: "did the people pushing this yell out the name of a real problem before doing something unrelated, cruel and ineffective?"
