Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

There’s a basic messaging problem when the value proposition of your technology is human obsolescence.

@cstross.bsky.social so assuming the vampire traditions are real, what happens to someone who is turned if they have a big ol’ cross tattooed on their pec? And if they’re alcoholic, do they crave booze but can only drink blood? Just idle curiosity.

Text of a NASA over the air message from Artemis 2, accompanying an image of the Earth rising over the lunar surface: "No joy seeing the device in the list of available devices when I attempt to re-pair it after doing the Bluetooth forget."

Damn but this sequel to the Apollo Mission Reports is deeply disappointing:

My pocket calculator was a tool. It never lied to me.

When I overloaded it by attempting tasks for which it was not calibrated, the answer was 'E' for 'error'.

It didn't hallucinate or lie to me, insisting it was correct.

Their version of Xtianity: Revelation seems to be, what, Ragnarok with Loki played by Trumpenchrist, all preceded by a Fimbulsommar? Did I get that right? With Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, excuse me, Odin? I think I’m confused.

In the proper context, I suppose it would be appropriate. Might make a good protest poster on May Day.

@edzitron.com did you see that the courts revoked permits for a data center complex in Prince William County Virginia?

Was the Iran War Caused by AI Psychosis? | House of Saud AI sycophancy, RLHF bias, and Ender's Foundry simulations shaped Operation Epic Fury. 7 planning assumptions failed in 23 days as the Iran war defied every AI prediction.

Yeah. I'm getting the sense that a number of people who want fate to bypass them are working to give Hegseth the full, spelunking, underbus tour in their place. House of Saud published a hit piece a few days ago, as others noted here. (houseofsaud.com/iran-war-ai-...)

While I much prefer resilience, it has two problems for modern capitalism. One is that it does not normally maximize shareholder value. Perhaps the bigger one is that resilient companies can be good targets for hostile takeovers. The problem is capitalism’s current iteration, unfortunately.

We’re about to see Earth’s magnetic shield like never before YouTube video by European Space Agency, ESA

For four billion years, Earth has been under attack.

Travelling at 2 million km an hour, the solar wind heads directly our way.

Luckily, we have an invisible shield that keeps us safe.

Understanding this shield, how it holds and how it breaks will be Smile's goal 👉 youtu.be/XS3INI9IsME 🔭 🧪 ☀️

Don’t let anybody tell you small towns don’t matter. 🤠🔥 Weatherford, Texas — population under 8,000 — came out today to say no kings, no exceptions. Deep in red state America, democracy is alive and fighting. #NoKings2026

My daughter Z (4) is currently very into space. She's now encountered the concepts of lifespan and death, but only in the context of stellar evolution. If Grandpa gets sick it's possible she'll expect him to expand to thousands of times his normal size, explode, and collapse into a black hole.
