Put me in coach, I'm classically trained for naval campaigns for key maritime terrain!

Lovely thick fleece on Lady Elgin.

like, the guy who the mummy used to be paid a huge proportion of his mortal wealth to make sure that the mortuary cult would take care of his immortal soul if his family forgot to. he would not understand the argument that he should not be visited and, in a sense, on display.

i do think that if you are going to put egyptian mummies on display, that the room they are in should at least have a Ka door, and that there should be food placed on the lintel. the Rosicrucian Museum has one of those upstairs in the Akhenaten exhibit and it changed my opinion on repatriation.

War is relational and these guys suck at relationality that isn't abusive.

Home - Human Authored In a world of generative AI, recognising human creativity is vital This is why we’re developing a Human Authored mark to enable all types of writers and literary translators to label their work as Hum...

The @societyofauthors.bsky.social Human Authored scheme launches today. I am really interested to find out what verification process it's going to use.

You may not like this but the future of modern warfare is just striking each other with domestic shahed copies

Never forget that that the modern brand of fascism is built on the conspiracy theory that a woman had sex with a guy in order to get a good review for her free browser game

Make it agentic and let’r rip.

Clankers always have each others’ backs.

Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.

AI-fuelled scams build fake experts to manipulate investors Generative AI and LLMs help scammers build fake experts, websites, and content, fooling investors and even AI tools into validating lies.

Scammers are using AI to build fake experts & media ecosystems that fool investors & even the chatbots users consult to check the facts. Writing for Financial Times, ISD’s Siddharth Venkataramakrishnan explains how these networks exploit tech/platform gaps to gain trust before manipulating victims.

This is incredibly on point.

Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks.

It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.

Pierce Brosnan as James Bond and Denis Richards as Dr Christmas Jones in the film, “The World is not Enough”.

I give you Dr Christmas Jones.

Today is International Women’s Day.

Over 70,000 women serve in 🇺🇦Ukraine’s military.

Thousands fight on the front line.

Medics. Snipers. Drone pilots. Infantry.

They are not just defending Ukraine.
They are defending freedom itself.

'Pervert Glasses' isn't bad. 'Mark Zuckerberg's Pervert Glasses' for formal occasions, I guess. I'll do my bit for the trend. But one of the comments on the quoted tweet suggests 'Pedoscopes' which is more catchy. Meme-wranglers assemble!

I’m a deep ecologist and this shit can fuck off.

How Elon Musk’s Sci-Fi Hyperloop Failed Before his misadventures in government efficiency, Musk promised to revolutionize commuting with a subway that would speed passengers between DC and Baltimore in a matter of minutes. The project was a...

A year long investigation into the Hyperloop found …

“The truth was far simpler, far dumber, and far more prescient: Musk and his lieutenants truly had no idea what they were doing.”

Ok but it really is his best movie.

The cover of an issue of the pulp THRILLING WONDER STORIES. A Roman Legionnaire about to blast a gorilla with a ray gun in an alien arena while the woman clinging to him (blonde, of course) looks at us, the viewer.

Sometimes the pulps cut to the heart of the modern condition. What else is 21st century life, after all, but Roman Legionnaires with blasters fighting gorillas in an arena while the women clinging to them break the Fourth Wall by staring at the viewer?

People can’t bring themselves to say, “this is my frivolous hobby and I am prepared to spend too much money on it.” It has to be *serious business*.

Of course, I have just the right amount. It’s only people who have a bigger collection that are frivolous.

“Once and for all”? Fucking hell that’s the most delusional thing I’ve heard al week and, you know, it’s been a week..

Your job is to pick the worst possible actor to play James Bond. Go!

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

That’s exactly why I’m watching it (again). Clumsy scripting and, um, uneven acting aside it may be the best techno-thriller around.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Actor Bruce Campbell says he was diagnosed with a 'treatable' but not 'curable' cancer Campbell, 67, said he plans to “get as well as I possibly can over the summer” so he can tour this fall for his new movie, “Ernie & Emma.”

Wow, this sucks. Love Bruce Campbell. In fact, the wifey & I are going to see him at his new movie’s premiere in about a month. I hate this news! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The outcome of war is not a karmic judgement on the wisdom of entering into it, and we should be wary of interpreting developments within a narrative of this. Chance is always operative in war, and things may turn out unreasonably well as often as they turn out unreasonably poorly.
