If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.
Michael Collins, the chap who took this photograph, remains the only person on earth to have taken a photo that had everyone in shot aside himself.

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

The underlying problem: “Digital natives” are increasingly being raised in an online system which just lies to them, constantly, for money. And they can’t even feel it. It’s the water.

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"
Keir Starmer: I've already returned over 24,000 people with no right to be here. And I won't stop there.

twitter user: @grok Is this post misleading?

Grok: The claim of white genocide in South Africa is highly debated.  Some evidence, like reports of farm attacks and political rhetoric, suggests violence against white farmers...a user asks Grok to translate Chinese text on a photo, and it responds with a translation of "Kill the Boer" into Urdua user asks if something shown in a video is an effective way to clear sinuses, and Grok says the query is unrelated to "the provided analysis on white genocide in South Africa"

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

It really fucks me off that a week consists of 7 days. No equal pattern of days goes into it. Shower every other day? Doesn't fit. Groom dogs every third day? Doesn't fucking fit. The week should be divisible by 2 and 5. And yes. I have been told I should be tested for ND.

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.
