A cross-border trade in Sally Rooney books has developed after they were removed from UK distribution for her support for Palestine Action. Northern Ireland bookshops buy them from Dublin wholesalers and they quickly sell out, with many orders online from Britain www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

I was just reading about an MS executive complaining about receiving obviously LLM generated reports from their underlings. Even the people selling this fantasy are starting to realise it only has a small set of useful applications.

The problem here is not just the boom, but that AI does not leave behind the same sort of network infrastructure that can be profitably reused later. So even if this investment is just ahead of its time (as fibre investment was) it’s still wasted money.

Whether this is down to an explicit conspiracy between Washington and Moscow or a lighter form of alignment, we can see that one partner uses the pen, the other uses the bomb, with the common goal of making it much harder for Ukraine to defend itself.

"Black voters are turning out in huge numbers in NC. Interestingly, the biggest increases in turnout are coming from younger Black voters." Tom doesn't post here, but this is super interesting. www.threads.com/@tombonier/p...
Most of the 2026 early voters in NC voted in 2024, but about 10k of them did not. White voters account for 66% of those 2024/2026 voters, but only 53% of the non-2024 voters (a long way of saying the new voters in NC are disproportionately voters of color).
