Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Link to the big "idiot" sale (I'm not getting paid for this!)

Headline in plain white text on a bright Ryanair‑blue background reads: 'Ryanair CEO to address/undress Elon Musk Twitter tantrum at Dublin press conference.'

Ryanair has launched the big 'idiot' seat sale (an actual flash sale) aimed at hitting back at Elon Musk.

Can't blame O'Leary for these shenanigans – Musk is literally giving him free worldwide publicity. The Ryanair boss may be a bit of a bastard, but he's no idiot.

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

AI videos have become alarmingly good in a short amount of time.

Was horrified to realise I'd unwittingly, gormlessly, re-shared one on TikTok without knowing it was AI.

There must be a course or some shit somewhere to learn how to recognise them.

Last day at work tomorrow after nearly two decades with the company.

Some will stop by to say goodbye; others to make sure I actually leave.

Had to jump on this redundancy bus, who knows when the next one will come along.

Took part in the next TSD grading today for 5th gup (green belt, brown tag).

Got full marks in the written test, but messed up my new Pyung Ahn Ee Dan form – which the examiners thankfully didn't notice.

Remembered all my one-steps, but didn't break the board this time.

Glad it's over! Tang So!

Benedict Cumberbatch, of BBC Sherlock fame, was answering fan questions on Reddit today! 🎬 A nice surprise. What wasn't surprising was that the thread was so popular (28.2k upvotes). He came across very genuine, definitely worth reading. Engagement there was off the charts, too, with 10.7k comments.

Pievienojos pulciņam, uzliku savu autogrāfu.

Nu jau var papriecāties, ir smukāks tas cipars.

"Tādējādi tiktu nodrošināts, ka šis jautājums, kas skar cilvēktiesības un valsts reputāciju, tiek izvērtēts rūpīgi, demokrātiski un ar cieņu pret sabiedrības vairākuma vērtībām. Mēs aicinām prezidentu izmantot Satversmes 71. pantu, kas paredz viņa tiesības neizsludināt Saeimas pieņemtu likumu [..]."

"Mēs vēlamies, lai Valsts prezidents @edgarsrinkevics.bsky.social izmantotu savas Satversmes 71. pantā noteiktās tiesības – neizsludinātu Saeimas pieņemto likumu par Latvijas izstāšanos no Stambulas konvencijas un nodotu to otrreizējai caurlūkošanai Saeimai vai tautas nobalsošanai."

Only in Peterborough could you pass a "refugees welcome, anti-far right, your enemy doesn't arrive in small boats – he arrives by private jet" protest, then be shoved a "vote Reform, vote Farage" leaflet fifty metres further down. Leaflet met the bin with great prejudice.

The commentary is 🔥 🤭

The lowest of the low. Trigger-happy US military kill innocent fishermen without a shred of evidence of drug trafficking. Read this. Lawless, rage-inducing, sick.

These 'No Kings' protests should be held every day.

When your tie says more than your press release. Sick bastard.

Piekrītu, man tik ļoti patika, ka aizgāju uz kino divreiz, vispirms Anglijā, tad Latvijā. Abās reizēs kinozāle bija tukša (likās nereāli sēdēt vienai pašai Odeon IMAX zālē). Filma labāka, nekā cilvēki domā. Man jo īpaši patīk britu aktieris Deivids Hārbors, ļoti talantīgs, un te arī viņš bija super.
