Some assorted photos from SearchNorwichXL yesterday. Such a great event. Well done to @markwilliamscook.com and the team. Greatly enjoyed @divingfor.fun's "Angry German Man" rant about the state of the web - though it was more a call-to-action to build the web we want. ❤️ #SNXL

This might be one of the creepiest AI hallucinations I’ve seen (yet). A college student on Reddit was using Claude to study German vocabulary when it suddenly said it needed to stop because it was going to be sick.

Me: Ok let's update the privacy page please... Claude: Ok I've created a new email address as requested... Me: Where did you get those emails from? Did you check the MD file it's detailed in there... Claude: Fair — I made those addresses up, and I was wrong about the domain too.

Tested a site with aggressive ads using the new CrUX ad detection tool. BTW, you should learn how the metrics are calculated to understand the numbers. E.g. For an ad count of 2.33, that's a pretty bad user experience. That's how many ads a typical user is seeing *at once* on the site.

Here’s a NYT image of the President of the United States fleeing Turkey *inside an airport catering cart* as he leaves members of his own staff and the entire White House traveling press pool to die in a warned-of Iranian military attack over Turkey Impeach this m*therfucker now

So Trump and the White House lied about which plane Trump was on flying out of Turkey, setting up journalists who thought they were on the same plane as the president to possibly be the target of an Iranian attack while he secretly departed on a different one. Words fail.
wapo.st
Contradicting public statements, Trump took secret flight from Turkey amid Iranian threat
The White House said the president was aboard Air Force One as he left a NATO summit. Instead, his departure included an elaborate ruse that concealed his travel.
