No one could have predicted this.
Quite the thread. Quite the terrifying document. The US' National Security Strategy is openly racist, pro-Putin, anti-democratic, verges on conspiracy theorist and appears to have been dictated to ChatGPT by a 4Chan user with zero understanding of geopolitics. PS far right, Reform etc will love it.
1/ The new US National Security Strategy blames 'undemocratic' European governments for failing to make peace with Russia, takes a pro-Russian position on NATO, reflects white nationalist views on European demographics, and pledges overt support for far-right parties. ⬇️

I suspect you have to be quite racist to stand out as "the racist guy" at a boys public school of the 1980s.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

You'd think us violating Irish neutrality in an apparent attempt to assassinate Zelensky by forcing his plane to crash would be bigger news.

The results that @marinelives.bsky.social is getting using Gemini 3 Pro, transcribing and translating Armenian ms materials are stunning. Historians, teachers and archivists really need to be discussing where we want to be with this stuff. open.substack.com/pub/generati...
A New Lens into the Archive
You are in an archive. You find a document in a language you don't understand. You take a photo, input it into Gemini 3 Pro. 60 seconds later you have a transcription, transliteration, and translation

This is a staggering cool JWST image of one of the most terrifying star systems I have ever seen. Apep is a monster… *three* monsters, actually, and blasting out radiation and dust and junk at speeds to freeze the soul.

Two years ago I had lunch with the dean of a department at one of Toronto’s major universities and she told me she had instructed all her profs teaching first-year classes to do exactly this. It sounded sensible and I wonder if it’s now more widely applied

Seeing as a pressure vessel designed to deal with steam can look like this when it fails, bringing up Cthulhu seems appropriate.
