It’s never been easier for artificial intelligence to spend your money.

Steven Moffat originally wanted to briefly bring back The Rani during the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, but was talked out of it.
What is says in the title! We’ve raised a little over $1,500 over the last day, from sixteen people, out of our goal of $12,500. This helps us cover the changeover of hegemony from America to China, environmental collapse, internal US fascism, what a better society would look like, Gaza, AI, the coming stock market […]
. Känner du också att du somnar varje gång Mats Knutsson börjar kommentera inrikespolitik i Rapport? I dessa tider — när medierna dränks i politikpoddars tyckmyckentrutade ordbajseri och fullständigt intetsägande ‘analyser’ och kommentarer — har man ju nästan gett upp. Men det finns ljus i mörkret! AVGÅ ALLA är ett program där man inte bara […]

California risks setting a dangerous precedent as states struggle to protect people from the oil industry’s buildout of carbon dioxide pipelines.
Welcome, neighbors, come on in. There’s plenty of room for everyone, aside from God. He has no place inside this well-ventilated, open-concept embodiment of runaway capitalism.
What you see before you is my 14,000-square-foot testament to taste, triumph, and unrepentant hubris. A five-bed, six-bath new-construction McMansion with a gaping spiritual wound that can never truly heal.
Let’s start in the foyer, which doubles as a waterpark and triples as a shrine to me. The marble floors are hand-cut from an Italian quarry that geologists begged us not to touch. The chandelier? They found it inside a meteor already shaped like that.
I spared no expense. Especially not on humility.
Over here is the living room. I’ve actually never been in here before. Vaulted ceilings that touch the second heaven, twelve Corinthian columns (structurally unnecessary, spiritually confrontational), and a roaring fireplace powered by a small but persistent coal fire deep within the earth. Is it environmentally sound? No. But is it efficient? Not really.
Roughly three months have passed since AI 1.1.0 was released and we are getting ready for the next step in the history of Drupal AI.
This means that we will have an upgrade path before the next RC release, all major features are developed and any known security or critical bug is fixed. As a developer you can trust that the API’s are set.
One important upgrade path is that we are moving out the AI ECA module, to https://www.drupal.org/project/ai_integration_eca so that can develop in a more rapid tempo then the release cycles of the AI module.
As a developer you can trust that the API’s are set.
If nothing unexpected happens, the plan is to have a RC 30th of September and a production release 7th of October.

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death, there is a frenzied competition to replace him as the face of the young American right. Nick Fuentes, who largely built his following by trolling Charlie Kirk for his support of immigration and Israel, seems to be the biggest immediate beneficiary. The Bulwark has a good backgrounder on […]

Thanks to Samuel J Fell at Rhythms Magazine for reviewing 'LIVE at The Couch Sessions': "LIVE at The Couch Sessions" her vocal is a high-point of the record, in places reminiscent of Susan Tedeschi in its delivery, but always very Robinson, whether soaring on the gospel-esque ‘Hold On’, or soft and warm / loud and proud on the [...]
In August 2024, videos circulated widely on Irish social media showing a dozen masked men dressed in black fatigues and balaclavas at Béal na Bláth in County Cork. The group stood beneath Irish tricolours and banners bearing the insignia of Clann Eireann (Irish Family), an extreme far-right movement founded earlier that year, which unapologetically supports […]

“A comedy festival in the capital of Saudi Arabia has become a cultural flash point as major comedians face criticism for accepting seemingly lucrative deals to perform in a country that was virtually impossible to visit until 2019 and a pariah in much of the West for its human rights record.” — NBC News

Listen, I understand your arguments against appearing in this comedy festival, but I am going to entertain the citizens of Mordor despite the actions of their leader, Sauron, and those associated with him.
So many have come to me saying I can’t perform there because of all the various abuses and war crimes. But doing stand-up for a bunch of orcs and trolls and dark wizards doesn’t mean I endorse that sort of stuff, even though there is a provision in my contract that says I need to endorse that sort of stuff.
Doctor Who icon Colin Baker (Sixth Doctor) isn't buying into Billie Piper as the next Doctor, believing that something else might be in play.
Everyone agrees antics around the spending-bill deadline are nothing but callous political stunts — so why do we agree to be governed like this at all?
