This reminds me of the (now sadly deleted) JohnnyPixels tweet @davidallengreen.bsky.social always reposted in response to Brexit:

"EU lays down a royal flush. UK looks at own cards: Mr Bun the Baker, Pikachu, a Shadowmage, a fireball spell, and the Fool"

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I still can't set up notifications for your posts, which is the only account I was unable to do it for. Which might indicate there's something off with your settings somewhere.

Krzysztof Ibisz jest starym dziadem.

VANITY FAIR

Last weekend, Iran, one of the world's oldest, most storied civilizations, was attacked by two countries: the US, which adorably is about celebrate its 250th anniversary; and Israel, which is younger than Liza Minnelli.

You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting.
Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.

These are the people who decide for governments whose door gets kicked down and which children get dragged off to camps.

The Delphic Oracle spoke: “If you launch this war, you will destroy a great empire and enemy of world peace, and your name will be remembered for millennia.”

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Keine Entschädigung: Flugzeug in Linz gepfändet Eine nicht geleistete Entschädigungszahlung der irischen Billigfluggesellschaft Ryanair an eine Frau hat auf dem Linzer Flughafen nun eine kuriose Konsequenz nach sich gezogen. Ein Exekutor brachte in...

So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

The Reverse-Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI My speech for U Washington’s Neuroscience, AI and Society lecture series.

“AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more.”
