I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic

People are like snowflakes. Individually small and ineffective, but if we work together we can make my step dad crash his car into a tree.

A graphic of the beloved old Twitter Fail Whale. Except instead of being held aloft over an orange ocean on strings held by little birds it is little white butterflies. Text above the graphic reads: Bluesky is all fucked up again. Not because we are distracted wedging in more AI no one wanted. Probably it was something you did.

Get his ass, Your Holiness

Absolutely grinning my face off about Hungary. Can’t wait to get back to Budapest and cook myself in progressively hotter baths 🛀🏻

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

Ooooo ironically named, innee?

A cute figurine of a bear made from amber. It looks like a gummy bear

A figurine of a hippo with a hole in his back and a loop of gold going through the hole. The figurine is made of a transparent glassy material. Rock crystal, perhaps. It looks not unlike a Foxe's glacier mint.

A carved bust of a bearded man in a brown material, against a red background. If you told us it was carved from chocolate, we wouldn't argue.

A figurine of a hippo in a green material (nephrite, apparently, whatever that is). It looks like it could be a wine gum, but one of the green ones that no one really likes.

Today we will be mainly posting pictures of artefacts that look like sweets. 🍬🍫

Naturally.

I can't listen to the song as I'm in the office, so I'm gonna assume you sing it to the tune of Hallelujah

Sam Altman Says It'll Take Another Year Before ChatGPT Can Start a Timer An $852 billion company, ladies and gentlemen.

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work*

Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

The quality of photos from Artemis II of the moon surface is incredible to witness in real time.

I absolutely love this animation showing Artemis II's path from Earth to the Moon and back, especially because it shows the solar wind and Earth's magnetic field.
