Tremendously useful, particularly the advice for mobile search. The trick here is to follow the instructions properly, including visiting tenbluelinks.org *first*, then opening a new tab and performing a search.

God I WISH
That’s not a “Conspiracy theory”, it’s the West Wing. I can hear Josh Lyman saying “Look, the Senate agrees to pass the bill, the House comes into session, they force a vote on Epstein, and then we let AOC rally House Dems to kill the budget. We look like the good guys, she gets a win, it’s a 3fer!”

I imagine @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social will be getting the usual abuse for speaking out - solidarity with her and all those fighting against hate manipulated by the wealthy right gleefully creating a distracting wedge issue

The adventuring party thought they’d bagged a gelatinous cube… but they were in for a very different kind of encounter.

Flipping heck. That's humungous. I might wander down and have a gawp in person tomorrow.

rich people do not know any more than the rest of us, except occasionally about the very specific thing that made them rich (and often not even that)

in many ways the process of becoming rich and insulating yourself from ever being told you are wrong means they know significantly less
theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you
Only slightly let down Sandi didn't follow through on adopting Meg's hair colour. I think she'd rock it. 🤘

IRELAND: These folks make GORGEOUS slate place mats edged in copper leaf—and one of the really fun things about slate is you can write on it with chalk, which delights small children (what design will be under their plate today?) and works great to indicate who sits where at a dinner party

Putting the office back together after the disruption of the living room redecorating. Jim suggested I add Judge Death's feet to my "blasphemous altar".

Stupid lore Sunday

Despite presiding over a galaxy spanning empire that has lasted ten millennia humanity is a relatively young race. The Aeldari strode the stars when man’s ancestors still resided in trees. Even the orks, primitive as they are have a long and storied history.

Altman has been quite clear about his strategy.

From the 2008 crash he learned that if you bind enough of the economy to your business you can do whatever you like; government will decide the rules no longer apply.

What he's selling is unaccountabilty.
I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.

And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

What does OpenAI offer the world?

As you may already be aware I'm a bit of a history nerd and I particularly like reading biographies of women written by women. If anyone wants a recommendation from the books I've read, let me know.

Mamdani is going to implement Shannara law. Everything will be extremely derivative of Tolkien and predictable.
Mamdani is going to implement Shisha law. Everyone gets their own pipe and the smog will smell of mango.
Mamdani is going to implement Shalamar law. He’s going to make it a night to remember

Yknow even if Labour summoned dread Cthulhu to shipwreck all the boats and make the channel impassable it wouldnt appease the racists cause there still would be brown people in the town centre you ghoul and you know it
It would now take a miracle for Labour to avoid defeat at the next election
"Predator: Badlands" is a jolly romp then. Not quite as revolutionary as "Prey" but if you enjoyed that, well worth your time. 😎👌

"According to the publication, the communications could demonstrate willful infringement, potentially leading to enhanced damages of up to $150,000 per work, a massive increase from just $750."

The fact that it was ever at $750 is a slap in the face.
