How people can use the *unpatched* YouTube app, I will never understand... The Revanced version is soooo much better. Removing most of the 💩 Google put in (not just ads), adding useful features, etc.

💣💥 Another bombshell poll from Hungary: Péter Magyar’s opposition TISZA party leads PM Viktor Orbán’s ruling Fidesz-KDNP 51–36 — a 15-point gap. Under Orbán’s own gerrymandered system, this could mean a two-thirds majority for TISZA. Poll by Medián, Hungary’s most trusted pollster, for HVG.

The Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

veo 3: "three toy ships, one made of iron, the other of wood, and one out of loosely packed sugar, are dropped into a pool of water" AI video tools really do seem to be able to simulate physics well (but not perfectly) without having an underlying physics engine. Signs of a world model?

Demonstreren mág, vindt dit (demissionaire) kabinet – zolang er maar niemand last van heeft. Dan moet er ingegrepen worden. Maar wie braaf op het Malieveld staat, wordt door niemand gezien of gehoord. En wie zich niet gehoord voelt, roept de volgende keer wat harder. Lees verder: corr.es/efd723

Always... follow the money.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? “Falsifiability” does not demarcate science from non-science.

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

😄!

Good point, though recent Presidents of both parties have all argued that limited-time airstrikes alone do not count as "war" in the same way that earlier Presidents didn't get Congressional approval every time a gunboat lobbed shells at someone who had annoyed us.

🇺🇦Zelensky: We need to make the war unbearable for the Kremlin, only then will there be a chance for peace. ▪️Russia is modernizing Iranian "Shaheds" and transferring the production to North Korea - this is a threat not only to Ukraine. ▪️We must continue to press in all directions to achieve peace.

The New York Times asked me for a new job that AI will create. I suggested "sin eater." (lots of good discussion of many other jobs in the article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/m...)

I shit you not, people

Mail from Skoda: "Would you please tell us what you think of your new car and help us improve by filling out a questionnaire?" Me: Sure, why not. Skoda: "Thanks, here are a gazillion compulsory detailed questions Tell us your exact km estimations of your future use, etc etc etc." Me: No, GTFO 😆.
