This sounds like a suboptimal development, but, I have a nearly full bottle of Toilet Duck and live pretty close to Eyam in Derbyshire, so, things should be fine. 🧐🤔

If Burnham were Frodo Baggins he'd have set up a bus service, called it the Bree Network and jumped on the 192 down to Minas Tirith. Short stroll to Mount Doom and back in time for a chippy tea.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

I understand the sentiment behind the picture but it annoys the hell out of me that it's been Photoshopped and presented as real. The photo was taken in 2016, the shadow was added. Fake news is still fake news, even if you find it agreeable.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

There is something jarring about the juxtaposition of that headline and that picture on yesterday's Times newspaper.

Image shows the UKs The Times newspaper page one on July 25 2026, the headline reads Net Zero 'risks blackouts'. A picture below shows a couple sitting on a beach in southwest France as a wildfire burns on the horizon sending a huge plume of ash and smoke into the air.
