Child evangelist/B-movie actor Marjoe Gortner has died. He was in FOOD OF THE GODS, STARCRASH and MAUSOLEUM. The Oscar-winning 1972 documentary about his preaching career should be watched. youtu.be/6XdpMkDpJXw?...

literally herzl's sales pitch for israel to european states was that it would be "a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism." sounds...pretty racist. and it hasn't changed since then even a bit.

Stage one of the Islamist assault on the Green
Party is now complete. Let's see how long
Polanski lasts before they come for the
leadership. As has been warned a million times,
these Islamic extremists were never going to
stop until a policy of dismantling the Jewish
state (the ultimate force against Islamism)

I loved Ramona Fradon, who would have been 100 today, and the horror shorts she drew for House of Mystery, House of Secrets, et al. So when I got a commission, I asked for Cain and Abel. She returned not just a character drawing but this delightful one-panel gag that captures their relationship.

Cain cuts the rope on Abel’s boat from the dock, setting him adrift

Per Reuters, Anthropic has $252 billion in non-cancelable compute obligations across Microsoft, Google and Amazon, and $161.2 billion in Broadcom TPU lease obligations that are "largely non-cancelable". Truly insane. $413 billion in non-cancelable contracts. www.reuters.com/business/ant...

The company said it plans to spend at least $111.1 billion with Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google, $110 billion with Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab and $31.4 billion with Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab under long-term infrastructure service obligations over the next seven to 10 years "regardless of ⁠usage."
Anthropic is separately carrying about $161.2 billion of Broadcom (AVGO.O), opens new tab-related equipment lease obligations that are largely non-cancelable, according to the prospectus. Anthropic filed for an IPO confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June but its paperwork has not been publicly disclosed.

Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the filing.
The company said it committed to pay Google between April 2026 and July 2033 and Amazon between May 2026 and April 2036.
"If our actual spend falls short, we must pay Google the difference," the company said, adding that similar terms apply to its Amazon agreement.
It added its commitment with Microsoft of $31.4 billion between November 2026 and May 2033 "is non-cancelable except in the event of Microsoft's uncured material breach."

Thing is, this is made even harder by the fact that people are organizing against the data centers that they need, and the chips that they've already paid for aren't necessarily in use yet. Their path to having the infrastructure to make that money is full of potholes and ruined bridges.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.
