this is not a problem you can fix with calm, reasoned debate. you can't even fix it by improving people's lives with policy. there is no clear, proven, non-violent solution to this issue. finding one is the most significant problem of our age.

Israel's horrific, in your face conduct, combined with the suppression of antizionist criticism by pro-Israel political and social elites, has created a kind of cognitive permission structure to deny that Jews face any oppression whatsoever.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

Four dock workers cleaning the hull of a merchant ship in dry dock. The ship is wearing dazzle camouflage, and the painting has arranged the sides of the dock and other ships wearing dazzle in the back in such a way as to blend the picture creating some serious eye strain.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

More 2nd edition was played this weekend, with the Imperial Guard taking their turn to feel the wrath of my Cult. We played the Tyranid Attack mission and gave the Guard some sturdy defences, but this wasn't enough to save them from the Cults many grasping arms. #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #Nerdlings

Some brightly coloured alien miniatures advance across a lurid battlefield of ruins and skull shaped idols.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard wait patiently in their defences, anticipating the inevitable attack.

A Cult landspeeder, supported by a small squad of infantry, banks round some ruins to flank the defenders and open fire on their flank.

On the right flank the Cults tank and infantry advances through the ruins, whilst on the main command bunker the patriarch and his brood step out of a warp portal to tear the Imperial commander in to soggy confetti.

The cover to the Tyrant Philosophers Roleplaying Game by Joe Wilson and Jon Hodgson

A flier for The Tyrant Philopshers RPG, which reads:

H A N D I W O R K G A M E S
I N A S S O C I A T I O N W I T H
A D R I A N T C H A I K O V S K Y
I S P R O U D T O B R I N G Y O U

The Tyrant Philosophers Roleplaying Game

There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never
more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand
of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal
underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its
wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse.

What will be the spark that lights the conflagration?

Despite the city’s refugees, wanderers, murderers,
madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always,
will be the Anchorwood - that dark grove of trees, that
primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to
strange and distant shores.

Ilmar, some say, is the worst place in the world and the
gateway to a thousand worse places.

Ilmar, City of Long Shadows.
City of Bad Decisions.
City of Last Chances.

The third page of the Tyrant Philosophers RPG flier which reads

The Tyrant Philosophers Roleplaying Game features a rules
system specially adapted by Morgan Davie (a|state second
edition) from Malcolm Craig’s Cold City Hot War.

Trust, betrayal, hope and despair all meet in the
backstreets of Ilmar. The game is designed to create tense
stories of resistance at both a deeply personal and city-
spanning political level.

Art and illustration from series cover artist Joe Wilson,
Jon Hodgson & the Handiwork Games team

The rulebook will be a tour de force of both in-world
imagery and epic scenes from the worlds of the novels.

Setting consultancy from the series author
Adrian Tchaikovsky
Working as a close member of the creative team, Adrian is
on hand to ensure that this is the definitive, playable guide
to his powerful setting.

System consultancy from legendary game designers
Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi
(The One Ring Roleplaying Game)
Known for their incredible work adapting well-loved
literary works to the gaming table, Francesco and Marco
are ideally placed to make this game truly sing.

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am

A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"
