Yo, it's midnight and I need to buy a ticket for your public transport (because it's 2026 and you don't have tap to pay), your ticket machines have an English translation, helpfully, but Google maps is showing the names in German and your ticket machine is showing the names in English.

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

Rather odd request, and a very long story, but do I have any followers in Badajoz 🇪🇸 who could lend me a bike Saturday morning to cycle to Elvas 🇵🇹, buy some Interrail reservations, and then return to Badajoz before a 14:00 train? #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail

Jerry Falade and Jason Arday are two sides of the same coin: a Black person can’t be this smart, so it must be plagiarism/AI/pick-your-poison. AI will make this worse. Every Black intellectual achievement can be dismissed as Claude/ChatGPT with no evidence while the accused suffers the damage.

AI token budget consensus I'm hearing from friends at >150 developer companies is ~$3000-4000/mo per developer. Which is equivalent to buying every developer a new Macbook Pro every month. My guess is we spend more and more per developer going forward, but hopefully on raw compute not model APIs.

This documentary is an excellent reminder of how much Soho has changed in the past 50 years. There are tiny pockets of the old Soho that remain but it's so close to being made just another bland corner of London trading off the memories of the place it once was. youtu.be/LGpHpwD4_yA?...

No, but i don't think people are keeping up with expectations. These days doing a History/Geography/Humanities type degree does not always mean walking in to any random job because you have a degree, unlike what people in the 60/70/80's might have experienced.

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

From a Reddit forum, a photo of a can of coconut milk with a blue label, papyrus text and a flip-top, on a sidewalk. It seems to hover because there's no visible shadow. The pavement is sort of unevenly colored, with bright spots, and the grass along it is green and lush.
