A comics about generating infinite energy from a rotating cat with a buttered bread fastened to its back

Somewhere in there lies the recipe for an invincible party

The Onion headline “Marilyn Manson Now Going Door-To-Door Trying To Shock People”

Palantir posting its cringe manifesto

Macron on a podium with a nuclear submarine and a huge French flag in the background

Most other big techs made efforts to distance themselves from the current admin, engaging in “sovereignty washing” and softening the rhetoric, but Palantir hardens its stance. My guess is they assume that a) customers find them irreplaceable and b) tech sovereignty is all talk no action

Palantir is sponsoring POLITICO’s British newslettes to counter the opposition to its involvement in the NHS, while pontificating about “a moral debt” to the US. They try to talk out of both sides of their mouth: keep the customers abroad and integrate deeper with the American admin

What’s interesting to me is the underlying assumption that the sabre rattling and nationalist posturing are still good for the business. “The Technological Republic” came out in a very different political climate, yet Karp decided to dig his heels in

They’re German, so they do software for offices that still use fax

The fact that there is no viral browser game about crossing the Strait of Hormuz is yet another proof that the web is dying

4.7 rating despite no zapiekanka with cheese and mushrooms… Łódź is a baffling place

Polecam włączyć 22 kwietnia streaming, bo skład panelu (@jarekko.bsky.social, @dstanderski.bsky.social, Jan Oleszczuk-Zygmuntowski, Maciej Kossowski, Karolina Sznajder) zapowiada świetną rozmowę!

The relationship with the Holy See being a proxy for wider geopolitical tensions is another argument for the neoroyalism framework

Simply put: you can't do Mamdanism without doing Paul Williamsism, and not many European leftists are aware of the latter

New six-word story just dropped:

"For sale: shoe-turned-AI company"

BTW "center-right, far-right, far-right" is basically the composition of the Idaho House of Representatives, and the state has about the same population as Hungary

Thank you, playing Timberborn (which I wholeheartedly recommend!) reawakened my fascination with beavers, so this is extremely my type of content

It would be much more enjoyable if there was less tanking

Those are rookie numbers, I blame inflation and toxic “fitfluencers”

I’m hearing sad news that the hype for geese might’ve been astroturfed. Who else were we lied to about? I’m pretty sure that the capybara craze was faked, which is one of the reasons I never bought into it, but I’d feel betrayed if there was a conspiracy behind the popularity of beavers

Orbán and Fidesz, famously known for their cultural progressivism and aversion to the idea of the welfare state

Yeah, I think you’re right, but the very fact that you can use terms “semantic shift” and “enshittification” interchangeably shows that the latter is rapidly losing its original meaning and - arguably - usefulness in the process

The lesson from Hungary is that voters “want the government to help”, and that they are “unhappy with an elite cultural progressivism”. Yeah, sure, NYT editorial board, if you say so

Soon:

Feels like the concept of enshittification is getting enshittified: first it was useful as a description of a specific process in a narrow domain of digital platforms; then it became fuzzy as more and more people started to shoehorn into it different phenomena; and now it's becoming meaningless.

Help, Peter Thiel isn't letting me eat my leftover basmati: he says it’s the ANTIQUE RICE

My bet is something UK-based, he studied at Oxford (on a Soros-funded scholarship no less), and his British beneficiaries have to pay him back somehow

And Andrzej Duda is a visiting fellow at Heritage

Świetna była jego książka swoją droga, choć dość doomersko mnie nastawiła do tych wyborów

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵
