And somehow we've put the future of humankind in the hands of people utterly devoid of normal human emotions, empathy and humanity. I do not feel good about this.

Imagine how fucking rotted a person's brain has to be to submit a 50,000 line pull request and not perceive that what you are doing is *incredibly* embarrassing and antisocial. A vibecoder can no longer notice they're greeting people by spraying hot dogshit all over the place.

yeah, and I think we'll have to start sending kids to brain gym young (like 5 or 6), obviously with age & developmentally appropriate brain workout content that they can work up through in, like, graded levels with qualified brain fitness instructors.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

As we join the great theoretical scientist, he is deep in thought. So still, quiet and focused that he might almost be asleep. But inside that brilliant mind, what new idea is forming? What certainty is being meticulously interrogated? What ingenious theory is ready to change our world forever? (the scientist snores lightly) Ah, it seems he actually is asleep. And that's fine. Science is hard and not every day can be a success. We will come back another time.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

The Arthur C. Clarke Award @clarkeaward.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Some scams are easier to spot than others. That said, we get these semi-regularly and they are only getting more focused and custom-tailored, so be careful writers! And, no, we didn’t reply, but it was super-tempting.

Text from a scam email message which reads:

Hi Arthur C. Clarke,

I recently came across 2001: A Space Odyssey, the 25th Anniversary Edition, and wanted to reach out.

I’ve been connecting with authors whose books are available to readers but may not be reaching as many new audiences as they could.

I’m curious how has your experience been with book visibility and reaching new readers? And have you considered exploring new ways to promote your book or expand its reach to additional platforms?

I’d genuinely be interested in hearing your thoughts and experience.

My modified Agfa Click with a ridiculous f:600. I think. I wrote .2 in it, but the .2 hole is in my archive and the only one missing is the .1. Hence f:600

I turned a Agfa Clic camera into a pinhole camera. The hole .1 mm, so it is incredibly slow. So many minutes, sometimes hours

And for creating depictions of false realities, versions of the world that don't exist... which right-wingers need, because that's their entire worldview: insisting upon a false reality, a version of the world that doesn't actually exist.

thank you to @mgiraldi.bsky.social, who pointed me to the insta acct for the photographer (www.instagram.com/kevinlohmanp...). the story and the other two photos are 24k gold.

Are You Kidding Me?
Can this Great Horned Owl's eyes get any bigger?
I'm excited that my photo "Are You Kidding Me?" was selected as one of just 43 finalists in the Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, from more than 10,000 entries representing 112 countries!
The story behind it is just as crazy. I was photographing this seven-week-old owlet when a squirrel suddenly launched from a nearby branch and landed directly on its head, knocking both of them out of the tree.
And believe it or not, a squirrel knocked this same owlet out of the tree THREE TIMES that morning! Fortunately, the owlet was fine and eventually settled down next to its mother.

(photo depicts a squirrel in mid-flight from a tree branch, apparently about to attack an owl who has the most "are you fucking KIDDING me" look in history)

second photo showing the squirrel in question making contact with the owl like the lil furry-tailed (if short-sighted) badass he is

As a high school teacher we’ve always had to encounter this from students. But you’d think the people who go into academia would have a love of knowledge. We’re so focused on knowledge as a means to an end rather than it being an end of itself and that attitude is permeating society more and more.

Truly enjoying Last War in Albion, vol 2. I can’t believe I am so invested in the minutia of the comic world at the time and I find the fractal digressions so much fun. That’s life with ADHD I guess @eruditorumpress.com is a great writer that totally goes for the details. Microscopic details 😁

Cover of The Last War in Albion vol 2. I read 1 a long time ago, but it is still vivid in my memory. Neoreaction a Basilisk is great too, but a little more depressing

I rescued my PSP from the depths of oblivion. I am loving it. This thing is 20 years old, but still sports its claws I was impressed when I found out that there is a large community supporting the PSP. You can even switch the screen for a better one

My 20 years old PSP model 1004 on a cafeteria table in Barcelona. The day is now a quite sunnier than before. Maybe I finally got to the point of using my Agfa Click camera modified to be a f600 pinhole camera

Opening this thing takes some time. Only 8 exposures. You try to make them count. Or not 🤣

When the film is finished, you keep rolling it till you see black. As 120 film can be used for different aspects ratio, the paper backing has numbers in at least three places and the cameras have this little windows to see what you are doing

A fast release plate, because I live in the 21st century and there is already too much suffering

When I was a little kid, the future (very far future at the time) was going to be much better than the present, almost a paradise, close to a utopia. See, we believed in the idea of progress. But come on, this is ridiculous

Partly the fast release plate is because this does not really sits well on a tripod

Ilford makes very good film. I like then

Today's thought I can't get out of my head: There's eight billion people on Earth. The average person spends around 25 minutes per day on the toilet. Which means: when the Thanos snap happened 1.73% of people who got snapped were actively on the toilet. That works out to ~139 million people.
