(FT) - Lufthansa has cancelled 20,000 flights between May and October to save fuel, one of the largest cuts by global airlines as jet fuel prices double following the Iran war.

Isn't that just Super Smash Bros? Asking as someone ignorant of both games LOL
Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.
Embarassing.
A Plato’s cave ouroboros?
The Plato's cave of software.
Did Young's send that out on multiple/all pubs, or do I just happen to be subscribed to emails from the same south bank pub you got that from?
IOW - got and immediately also deleted this email.
Simple arithmetic. When you already have one home and somehow by whatever means get a second that means you own two homes. How difficult is that to grasp?
Hey is anybody else in tech really stressed
Seems bad that the Trump administration is trying to use the FCC to scare media companies into actively avoiding stories related to trans people, tbh.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.
Anthropic’s CEO makes the case for OpenAI going bankrupt.
Since it takes years to build out data centers, you have to assume a growth rate then start building.
So if you assume $1T in revenue over the next few years but it’s only $800B then no force on earth can keep you from going bankrupt.
RFK Jr no longer disguising his MAHA movement for what it really is: eugenics
Images not rendering right now are actually such an incredible use case for ALT text and a great way to experience what it’s like to want to participate while not being able to see.
If Darth hadn’t included ALT you’d have no idea what this was.
Tags in clothing are a fucking sensory nightmare that thanks to my fibro are actually fucking painful and the year is 2026 we don’t need tags anymore WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
alt text is great, even when images are working
Now is a great time to turn on the toggle reminding you to always post ALT text! ALT is coming through, so some people's points are still landing...others are not.

tale as old as time
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
It says, in actuality, something CONSIDERABLY larger than just that. But to see trans rights be the catalyst for shaping EU policy is jaw-dropping.
Basically this says: you can either be anti-trans or be someone who enjoys the core values and benefits of the European Union, but you cannot be both.
This is an absolutely incredible finding
this piece is absolutely littered with the victimized grievance content crucial for the attention arbitrage grift Kustov is running, outlined below. hate being right about this.
OK, so let's talk about one of the most noxious labor practices in academia: the attention arbitrage strategy for getting eyeballs on and dollars into your Substack/newsletter/etc. the core mechanic is exploiting asymmetries between the reputation economies in academia and conservative social media.
despite being a 10+ yr old strategy at this point, it's a fascinating object. content moderation can't prevent it, counterspeech doesn't help (it's the mechanism!). it's like an evil twin strategy that co-evolved with the moderation ecosystem to be resistant to it. the original online Grendel.
He has turned a non-insignificant portion of the public markets into Kalshi.
Wow, I can see the right wing grievance grift is still viable. Clock is ticking for Kustov to write a piece for the Free Press and have a sit down interview on CBS Morning crowing about how Claude Code will finally defeat diversity in higher Ed.
“We’ll do it dead!”
