Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

South Korea is doing quote-post diplomacy President Lee drew a parallel between occupied Korea and Palestine

Thr South Korean president criticized Israel, Israel got super mad about the mention of the Holocaust, and not the far worse reference. The president compared them to imperial Japan, which is like the worst thing a Korean can call anyone or anything www.theverge.com/policy/91358...

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

we have got to get it together, in like twenty-four hours the astronauts are back

Strategically this is also a bonanza for Putin. His main ally in the Near East defeats the US with his help — and while the US helps him help Iran against the US! And meanwhile the US slanders Ukraine, which was actually helping the US. (6/14)

bluesky is and has always been a posting retirement home for elder millennials

Jag blir så jävla taggad av att klicka runt på nyatunnelbanan.se. Förstår att detta kan vara ett ålderstecken men fuck yeah för yimby-sthlm!

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Another week it would have been great to be off of fossil fuels already

The Rise of the Ray-Ban Meta Creep Between pickup artists and juvenile pranksters, the wearable device is becoming associated with pests of all kinds.

I have a simple solution: just punch everyone wearing ray bans and sooner or later no one will wear them. "but liz not all ray bans are pervert glasses." sorry, gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette. www.wired.com/story/the-ri...

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

So… I've been writing for about 18 years on the idea that if you somehow manage to make meaningfully conscious machine minds & then you treat them as tools, then you're enslaving those minds, and that's pretty messed up. And this ties into something else I've re-upped recently: LLMs can't say "No."

A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading: WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out- stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violence—The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down—Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Stockholm är Sveriges Taylor Swift: på riktigt störst, bäst och vackrast men folk är kränkta för att de inte fattar grejen.

Woooow fuck

Yeah!! I'll ask around if someone has one hehe

Yeeeaah, that'd be cool! I have a couple of headlamps that can clip to my cap visor, it should work to build something that messes with digital cameras

No this is not the cool cyberpunk future any of us wanted but here we are

Could a tech countermeasure for glassholes/Meta glasses be an infrared light beaming from my glasses, overpowering or glaring into a camera but invisible to humans? In addition to shaming the users relentlessly of course
