Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Has anybody collected pro-Trump headlines from UK newspaper commentators in one place? First & second term. Especially ones attacking his critics. If not, bung me your favourites & I'll do it myself.

Canadian PM Mark Carney delivered a pretty incredible speech in Davos. It's a vision for a way forward for smaller nations, in a world where the U.S. can no longer be counted on as an ally.

Watch it. Something tells me it might be one of those speeches that we'll read about in history books.

Trump, who is not mad, has made 30 Truth Social posts in the last 30 minutes, topics including Muslims in the UK, Biden stealing the election, how right he is on Greenland, and other topics.

AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.

Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

The Resonant Computing Manifesto
Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

What makes this *exceptionally* weird is that when Gareth Sheridan announced his candidacy for the Irish Presidency after everyone finished saying "who?" searches of his social media footprint indicated that he was virtually apolitical, with very few posts/interactions with Irish or US politics...
"Gareth Sheridan went to Tucker Carlson's Christmas party" is already crazy, but "Gareth Sheridan took a photo with the world's most famous antisemitic conspiracy theorist, then voluntarily posted it on the Internet" is blowing my fucking mind
