Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❀️

Elon Musk Says He's Epically Screwed Up at xAI, Is Rebuilding "From the Foundations" Musk is admitting that his AI company xAI is in deep trouble β€” and in need of a deep overhaul, a surprising admission.

I am dedicated to living long enough to watch his entire empire collapse

EVERYBODY SAY β€œTHANK YOU” TO @aeriqui.bsky.social RIGHT THE FUCK NOW AND TELL HIM TO EXHALE DEEPLY AND DRINK SOME WATER

One of the leading organizers of #FREELUD and the actual architect behind most of the updates I’ve posted. A fucking hero as far as I’m concerned.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

"What ultimately broke me and my Blizzard career was I got called into the CFO's office and he sits me down and he saysβ€”he gives me a date which at the time was 2020 and was going to slip to 2021, but at the time it was 2020β€”and he said: 'Overwatch has to make [redacted] in 2020, and then every year after that it needs a recurring revenue of [redacted]' and then he says to me 'if it doesn't do [redacted] we're going to lay off 1,000 people, and that's going to be on you.' And that was the biggest fuck you moment I've had in my career, it felt surreal to be in that condition."

Take trans out, and answer this question: do sports like tae kwon do, where u can get seriously hurt in sparring and grappling, exclusively segregate by gender?

If you don’t know the answer off the topic of your head then you definitely shouldn’t be weighing in on the β€œtrans sports” issue

Remember that time just under a year ago when Elon Musk's goons tried to steal a building?

Marisa has been all over this for the entire time and took a ton of effort to force this footage into the public light.

The least you can do is go scroll through her thread!

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police.

Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).

The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

Read an amazingly clever paper today I have to share:


Imagine sourcecode that *looks* correct…but compiles to different logic!


Unicode has to support left-to-right, and right-to-left languages.

Visual order and logical order can be completely different!

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesnβ€˜t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

It's by no means the most important piece of the whole Paramount mishegoss but I feel like we don't talk enough about how Larry Ellison looks like 2010s Mickey Rourke got stung in the face by like 200 bees

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Denshattack is so dang cool. The vibe of the best lost PS1 game you've never heard of, but the soul of a stone cold Sega classic.

What an Xbox founder thinks of the new Xbox CEO | Seamus Blackley interview Seamus Blackley was one of the renegades who got the Xbox started. We asked him what he thinks of the big executive changes at Xbox.

Hey! If you’re pissed about the words media misquotes put in my mouth about Xbox, read the article!
