So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.
Sounds like Hegseth!

NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months
* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor
If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far…

Every single thing he says here is absolutely spot on, though.
I make a ginger spiced sticky toffee myself, and it's just a mildly spiced sponge *steamed* not baked so you can't burn it and it stays soft, with a 50-50 ratio of sponge to sauce, and I serve it very simply, hot in a bowl with cream.

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

Annoys me so much. I never wanted *notepad* to be anything more than it was. Incredibly simple, instant open, nothing flashy. Update bloody wordpad or make something new if you wanna add this sort of shite. The irony here is markdown is *supposed* to be perfectly readable in something like notepad!
Notepad was once a lightweight text editor in Windows, but Microsoft has increasingly been adding features to it in recent years. The new Markdown support has led to a Remote Code Execution flaw 😬 msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide...

The stuff coming out of OpenAI is very likely to be the worst and most harmful version of this tech. That's even with Elon Musk working hard to take the top spot. These big players have a lot of influence. But they don't wholly own and control the tech. They're pretty upset about that actually.

Sam Altman is one of the people I was talking about who is actively participating in devaluing labor. He is an active collaborator with the billionaires who want to use this tech to commodify all human activity to enrich themselves. No this is not hyperbole. I mean it quite literally.

To be clear, this topic is worth being upset about. I'm still very upset about many aspects of this. But it's always tough when you want to move past the righteous anger and examine things more thoughtfully. Righteous anger feels great. People often want to stay there. They're allowed to do that.

Virtual Desktops on Windows aren't used enough. Mac has the "maximize to Virtual Desktop" button so I did a similar thing for Windows. Please go test it and file issues.
SHIFT-CLICK on the Maximize button will maximize a window to a new Virtual Desktop. Also a hotkey.

Haha had a scam call from 09 3024800 claiming to be the fraud team at my bank. I declined to provide any verifying data and called the 0800 instead.
Beware the con artists. This one had a New Zild accent!
I shall discuss it on my weekly telco/bank anti-fraud call tomorrow. 😇

Nothing winds me up more than Luxon and assorted other suits saying we need to be wealthier before we can afford doctors, nurses, water we can swim in etc. Meanwhile wealthier kiwi households have stacked up huge piles of savings (cash, shares, equity etc). The economy works for the few. [🧵 1/n]
