I am at the airport in Melbourne (again). I’m sitting in the window eating one of those excellent boxes of kale, broccoli, beans, seeds, peas and a boiled egg that I am grateful are now available at airports. Next to me a father and daughter are observing the world – look at how that plane […]
My last post described my attempt to generate a report on housework using Deep Research, and the way it came to a crashing halt. Over the fold, I’ve given the summary from the last version before the crash. You can read the whole report here, bearing in mind that it’s only partly done. As I […]
MS-13 gang members told Hondurans to vote for the Trump-backed right-wing candidate or “we’ll kill you and your whole fucking family.” The post MS-13 and Trump Backed the Same Presidential Candidate in Honduras appeared first on The Intercept. I’ve long been interested in the topic of housework, as you can see from this CT post, which produced a long and unusually productive discussion thread [fn1]. The issue came up again in relation to the prospects for humanoid robots. It’s also at the edge of bunch of debates going on (mostly on Substack) about […]
Australia’s creepiest freaks are tipped to bandy together and challenge the Government’s decision to ban under 16’s from social media, claiming it impinges on their rites. ”The Government can’t take this away from us, who will we chat with online?”... Read More ›
One of the reasons I hired a developer to fix the site is that, on top of the latency issues, emails were being treated as spam because the server was not set up correctly. (I’ve moved to another server company as a result.) Emails are now going out fine, and not bouncing as spam BUT […]
Once eschewed by the Pentagon, the “Jerusalem cross” has been co-opted by the far right — and embraced by Pete Hegseth. The post Official Propaganda for Caribbean Military Buildup Includes “Crusader Cross” appeared first on The Intercept. Both chambers included Pentagon budget provisions for a right to repair, but they died after defense industry meetings on Capitol Hill. The post Congress Quietly Kills Military “Right to Repair,” Allowing Corporations to Cash In on Fixing Broken Products appeared first on The Intercept. “MAHA for airports: Trump officials pitch mini-gyms, more play areas.” - - - Hello, travelers. I’m the airport’s shiny new pull-up bar, and I’m ushering in a bold era of aviation wellness absolutely no one asked for. As my boys, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., explained at Reagan National recently, airports don’t actually need updated terminals or improved escalators. What they’re truly lacking is optics-driven body-suspension equipment, conspicuously wedged between a Shake Shack and a Hudson News for maximum showboating. In his latest broadside, amateur poet (and Health and Human Services Secretary) Robert F. Kennedy...
As the next financial crisis looms, Trump has ordered banking regulators to recite a “humility pledge.”
Both spirits and job security were high for the lobbyists at artificial intelligence startup Anthropic’s holiday party.
MintPress exposes how Stop The Hate UK, an Israel-aligned group, is driving efforts to intimidate journalists and pro-Palestine organizers. The post Stop The Hate UK: The Shadowy Israel-Aligned Group Targeting MintPress staff & anti-genocide organizers appeared first on MintPress News. Jonungs ambition är att leda i bevis att det liberala genombrottet under 1800-talets andra hälft möjliggjorde en svensk tillväxtsuccé som varade fram till och med andra världskriget. Därefter följdeden ”socialdemokratiska eftersläpningen”, som innebar att Sverige halkade efter i tillväxt och levnadsstandard. Denna period varade fram till slutet av 1990-talet då de nyliberala förändringarna sominleddes redan […]
Doctor Who: The Sea Devils mercifully cuts the original six-part serial down to a more bearable 90 minutes, but still can't escape the original flaws.
1. To look something up quickly and then spend twenty minutes fact-checking the AI summary, only to find out that it was absolutely wrong. 2. To search for directions and two hours later end up with five items in your Amazon cart. 3. To receive results as ten-second videos that present a sponsored product as the only possible answer to your question. 4. To attempt to look up basic information about someone you recently met, you have to go through a sequence of “background check” sites, each showing a dramatic loading bar while it pretends to search. After fifteen minutes, it subtly suggests that criminal records may have been found, and you can view them now in exchange for a modest $24.95 monthly subscription. 5. To ask the internet for knowledge and receive a series of articles that mostly remind you what your question was, then repeat the same three facts you already knew, padded out with more ad space than information. 6. To start typing a weird question and stop halfway through because you don’t want the algorithm to decide this is who you are now, and then immediately panic, knowing it probably logged it before you erased it. Billions of pounds is being spent on anti-migrant measures which campaigners warn are contributing to dozens of deaths of vulnerable people seeking to come to the UK
‘Ooh, have you been to see it? Who’s your favourite?’ asks Suzanne in the bakers, as she hands me my son’s second gingerbread man of the week. The Turner Prize isn’t contemporary art’s only prestigious award, but it’s the one which is best able to make an impact outside of the art world’s bubble and […]
