@funranium.bsky.social the blessings continue in Nagoya (with added egg and ketchup, wonders never cease!). There's a cracking free wetland bird observatory here, saw a couple of osprey and a shitload of cormorants, 11/10 would recommend

Wakayama is bringing the good weather

A view of a large intersection in front of Wakayama station, there are many mid-high rise buildings, blue sky, and distant mountains in the background

Further observations: big fan of the toilets, once you get over the shock the bumhole jetwash is pretty nifty especially after an epic; also the fucking sunsets!

1/x Captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama is taken hostage in a lifeboat, and US Navy SEALs end it after five days. The snipers dealt with the guys in the lifeboat. The Belgians dealt with the guy at the top of the whole trade. A thread.

Never thought to try stuffing in my series of "Christmas themed pizza on Christmas Day", probably for the best. Sprouts and pancetta is still god-tier

I wonder if there's a fussy sous vide way of cooking then such that they're just tender but retained all the tasty goodness

I always seem to underestimate the ungodly amount of time it takes to cook, though

This is a decent article about staying safe online, but it contains a classic & non-obvious mistake. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/s... How do you stay protected when you click on phishing link? "Put in place two-factor authentication […] which means you have two steps to log into a site." No!

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview. IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing. Like making your Wi-Fi password "wifi" embarrassing. 🧵
