I have literally no clue what to make of the fact that this is a stirring post about the need for European unity in the face of Russian aggression and US disengagement from *checks notes* Richard Branson.

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

This headline 😅: OpenAI Furious DeepSeek Might Have Stolen All the Data OpenAI Stole From Us I hope people who are suing OpenAI for copyright violations can use this somehow www.404media.co/openai-furio...

NEWS! "DeepSeek copied our work!" whines company that only exists by copying other people's work

I can tell you one thing, the Magic 8-Ball industry never had a $1 trillion valuation loss in the course of one trading day.

an unresolvable tension — between not giving a fuck about all the bullshit and wanting to fuck up all that very same bullshit — lies at the heart of Limp Bizkit,

Microsoft is going to price gouge you by adding their genAI to your subscription without your consent, and they are not transparent about how to avoid this bullshit. Here's how to change your subscription back to "Classic" for a lower charge without Copilot: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffi...

Something I wasn't fully prepared for was the come down after a wedding. So many friends and family seen for so short a time, unlikely to get that mix ever again. Many won't be seen for a long time

I, for one, left Threads because it was an inferior product. If I wanted to spend my time in the best digital Nazi bar I would have returned to X, however, I want to spend my time on the best microblogging platform, which is why I am on Bluesky. Any real or perceived "virtue signaling" is a bonus ☺️

my most metro lib elite opinion is I reckon I'd be really good in the House of Lords

Ok I know nobody cares about this but me, but GOD I care: 1. I have just downloaded your app. 2. You want me to make an account. I don’t want to make an account! 3. When I enter my email, you inform me that I already have an account! This seems like a good thing, but I know it means only pain. 1/2

Wow the players choice final round options on the game awards are awful. A dlc, 3 gatcha games and another souls like. BMWK the only real game on there

So easy to be cynical and glib. No-one is under any illusions about the way events often play out in the Middle East, or the character of the groups who defeated Assad. But it is ok to hope. It is ok to celebrate the end of a dictator.

Massive away win for the little fella.

Bluesky is truly having an incredible run as Threads' head of product

Update: His health guy doesn't believe in medical science. His law guy is a sex trafficker. His intelligence gal is a Russian asset. You're all caught up.

A friend recommended Matthew Yglesias' "Common Sense Democrat manifesto" to me. I think it's pretty bad, but not for the reasons he wants me to. It's not that I want to fight him on any of these "common sense" principles, it's that the premise is wrong. And that clarified something for me. 1/x
