Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

It's amazing listening to Starmer listing his achievements and they're either: 1. Things that are bad 2. Things that he's not done 3. Things he initially opposed upon taking office Truly a generational talent in being a delusional prick.

A company that makes a no-tech, repairable tractor is having trouble keeping up with demand from farmers sick of John Deere's repair monopoly and simply want a tractor that turns on and works: www.404media.co/demand-is-bo...

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Ooh, look! I did a newsletter again! This time: How do male professors explain the gender disparity in academia? Even though the Nordics are considered leaders in gender equality, only 26% of full profs in Danish social sciences are women. This skew is so obvious it's hard to imagine...

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS

Another framing of the toxic CEO problem - because they've never worked in a biz and learned it from bottom to top, they've never experienced the full range of human skill, craft, expertise and personality that MAKES the biz work ... Hence IMHO having a deeply under-developed appreciation for people

This is an off-the-cuff reckon, but it feels very different to looking back at, say, Cold War-era dramas, in which everything was always on the brink, pulled back at the last minute. Everything existed in tension rather than in escalation.

Meta explicitly enabled its chat bots to engage in sexually explicit chats with young children. This company is fundamentally evil. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

This screenshot claims that a Reuters investigation revealed Meta allowed its chatbots to engage in “sensual” chats with minors, according to an internal document titled "GenAI: Content Risk Standards." It alleges that the document included examples of permissible chatbot behavior involving romantic engagement with kids, and that CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed for more engaging chatbot interactions after finding cautious designs “boring.”
