A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

'Day 1 as a Third Century Roman Emperor and the shitheads at the mint have found eight unique ways to misspell my name on all the coinage despite me sending them the drafts of my designs that I've been working on since I was 12

Day 2 as a Third Century Roman Emperor and I have been fatally killed.'

Reading about Japan's first astronaut, who was a chainsmoker and spent most of his mission being violently sick. He died earlier this year, RIP to a real one.
Akiyama was not a trained astronaut, scientist nor engineer. During his time aboard Mir, Akiyama gave live reports each day documenting life aboard the station, but his apparent discomfort led to him being described as the first "antihero in space". He described his struggles such as space sickness and craving for cigarettes. During training, he quit smoking cigarettes, having previously smoked four packs a day. Before liftoff, when asked what he looked forward to most upon his return to Earth, he said "I can't wait to have a smoke". His fellow cosmonauts later reported, in regards to his nausea, that they "hadn't ever seen a man vomit that much."

Being queer means being the target of violence. Every queer person knows this. It's deeply engraved in who we are. We live with it every day of our lives. Not because of terrorism but because it is structurally enshrined in our "free" societies. Violence against queer people is not an exception ...

The decision of so many people to keep using X in its race-war phase has made me a bit more cynical overall about the ability to draw moral red lines. It’s beyond disappointing.

Ich vertrete Positionen, die man als sozialliberal bezeichnen kann und fühle mich in der SP genau am richtigen Ort: Wir haben eine breite Palette von Meinungen und Positionen – aber Werte, die wir teilen. Darunter hat politisch einiges Platz.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
