The light aircraft spent around half an hour between 2,100ft and 4,150ft above the sea near the Essex coastal town zigzagging to mark out the shape of a bin, according to data from Flightradar24.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.
The Times: Net zero risks blackouts. Below a photo of French wildfires.

NEW EXAMPLE FOR FONT LESSON JUST DROPPED
It’s a Portuguese add and it’s “Final” volleyball but it looks like “anal” which is confusing cause they’re all women and men are the ones more into anal cause of their prostate gland orgasm potential? I’ve heard?? Can’t say that in the lesson shoot

Classic study gave 146 economist teams the same dataset & got wildly different answers New paper reruns it with agentic AI. Claude Code & Codex land near the human median but with far tighter dispersion & no extremes This suggests that agentic AI is now useful for doing scalable economics research

A humourous image likening AI company logos to an anus. An outline of a human posterior is covered in AI company logos, with the Claude  AI logo centrally and humourously placed for effect.

"o3, You are a consultant hired by the Dark Lord, analyze the org chart of Mordor. How would you improve it for today's changing Middle Earth" o3 does some actual satire, ending with: “One Org to rule them all, One Org to find them, One Org to bring them all, And in the darkness, align them.”

todays satirical diary from @hugorifkind.bsky.social
Elon Musk: 

Tuesday
I'm speaking to President Trump about getting together all the major players who care as much as we do about the abuse of young girls in the UK.
So that's me, him, Andrew Tate, Matt Gaetz and that guy from Reform UK who has a conviction for getting drunk and assaulting his girlfriend.
"We're the feminists now!" I say.
"Fact!" Then I get distracted, because I've just seen a really cool meme on X about a hot milf getting stuck in a tumble-dryer while wearing yoga pants.
"We're going to protect women," says Trump, "whether women like it or not"
"Most Brits don't care about women at all," I say. "Have you heard of Jess Phillips?"
"She's probably never even met one," says Trump.
"She should be in jail," I say.
"We'll do that after we invade."
"Slow down, Elon," he says.
"We're invading Greenland, Panama and Mexico first."
"Oh sure," I say. "Priorities."

A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as
"Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator.
"The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."
