Other species have tools and technology, albeit rudimentary; no other species creates art – this is what’s at stake here, it’s just *that* important… this from a software engineer, first code ever written on a TI-99/4A as a little kid: trying to create “art” via a machine.

“My parents died years ago. I was very close to them. I still miss them terribly. I know I always will. I long to believe that their essence, their personalities, what I loved so much about them, are - really and truly - still in existence somewhere. I wouldn't ask very much, just five or ten minutes a year, say, to tell them about their grandchildren, to catch them up on the latest news, to remind them that I love them. There's a part of me - no matter how childish it sounds - that wonders how they are. "Is everything all right?" I want to ask. The last words I found myself saying to my father, at the moment of his death, were "Take care." Sometimes I dream that I'm talking to my parents, and suddenly - still immersed in the dreamwork - I'm seized by the overpowering realization that they didn't really die, that it's all been some kind of horrible mistake. Why, here they are, alive and well, my father making wry jokes, my mother earnestly advising me to wear a muffler because the weather is chilly. When I wake up I go through an abbreviated process of mourning all over again. Plainly, there's something within me that's ready to believe in life after death. And it's not the least bit interested in whether there's any sober evidence for it. So I don't guffaw at the woman who visits her husband's grave and chats him up every now and then, maybe on the anniversary of his death. It's not hard to understand. And if I have difficulties with the ontological status of who she's talking to, that's all right. That's not what this is about. This is about humans being human.” ― Carl Sagan

Bolsonaro fleeing Brazil and heading to the U.S. sounds like all of those illegal border crossings MAGA is always fucking crying about.

One of my favorite Milky Way photos from ISS, with the multicolored lights of Southeast Asia streaking across the exposure from orbital velocity, while distant stars remain fixed by my star tracker. The long exposure intensifies the atmospheric airglow into a thick red band!

He’s literally insulting his dumbass poor broke supporters and they just clap.
Trump: You'll be my guest at Mar a Lago. The problem is that for $5000, the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that. No, don't go there. That's not a good place.

La professoressa Ponzani non si scusa, anzi ha dato mandato al suo avvocato per eventuale controquerela nei confronti di larussa. In maniera pacata, puntuale e precisa la prof.ssa #MichelaPonzani ha impartito una lezione di stile, di storia e di libertà al Presidente Ignazio #LaRussa che aveva annunciato di querelarla. E ha ricordato una cosa importantissima: gli storici non servono a celebrare il potere ma a smontare le narrazioni di comodo. Michela Ponzani torna a rispondere a Ignazio La Russa, contestando una concezione del potere che richieda deferenza ai cittadini. A Otto e Mezzo, la storica collega il revisionismo alla riscrittura del passato per condizionare il presente: nella sua lettura, occultare la memoria del Paese favorisce “una cultura dei pieni poteri”. Da questa riflessione nasce il richiamo alla Costituzione: “Non siamo più sudditi, siamo cittadini. Io sono uguale al Presidente La Russa secondo l’articolo tre della Costituzione italiana, siamo uguali”.

This is a historic milestone. This is a revolution in protest methodology. The power of the people has just opened a new door in civic activism. Zionism has faced two significant political setbacks in 24 hours. In Serbia, instead of students just protest against their government—a key supporter and funding of the Zionist lobby—the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won. In Brazil, despite Zionist propaganda and the social media algorithms that promote it, Lula won the election, defeating a candidate backed by the Zionist lobby. Both Brazil and Serbia have once again proven that the power is in the people, and the people united will never be defeated. This is exactly what I have been calling for over the past two years—as a necessary step to stop the genocide in Palestine and Lebanon, the illegal war against Iran, and the war between Russia and Ukraine—extending also to Yemen, Sudan, DR Congo, and beyond. I told you before that we are at a point where a majority of politicians no longer represent anyone but themselves and serving the Zionist lobby rather than their own people. Judaism is not Zionism. Zionism is not about Jewish people, it is a political system, a political philosophy, at its core it is a secret society putting its agents in places of power. And if your politicians really wanted to end the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, they would have stopped military aid to Israel from day one. But your governments was brought to its knees by that lobby. Brazil and Serbia have done it, and you can do it too! Albania could be next to rise—and the list goes on. That’s why I called it the "European Spring" against Zionism. People have come to realize how Zionism exploits the money and resources of their own nations. Europe is angry because their money has been stolen to fund wars and billionaires instead of meeting their needs. The Zionists are terrified because they’re under the threat. Their agents are working overtime to demonize the protests in Europe and associate them with Muslims and immigration. Seeing these victories, and witnessing people begin to wake up—especially Gen. Z—fills me with pride; it shows that everything I lost, and everything this lobby inflicted upon me, was not in vain. Thank you. Don’t let them divide and conquer.

“Non ho mai attribuito responsabilità penali a La Russa per l'omicidio Marino,non risultando una sua condanna per quel delitto.Rivendico però il diritto di esaminare e ricordare (carte alla mano) il ruolo politico che ebbe nella dx missina milanese” 👏🏻👏🏻

Alla vigilia delle elezioni in Israele, una commissione delle Nazioni Unite formula un’accusa gravissima e devastanti contro Israele: sterminio, tortura e stupro come crimini contro l’umanità nella Cisgiordania occupata. A Gaza, conclude la commissione, Israele continua a commettere atti di genocidio. Anche durante il «cessate il fuoco». Il rapporto delinea un quadro di uccisioni, espulsioni, pulizia etnica e violenze sessuali: •In Cisgiordania occupata , dall’ottobre 2023: L’IDF ha ucciso 1.080 palestinesi, tra cui 237 bambini, e 10.940 feriti. •Dai campi profughi sono stati espulsi 34.176 civili: il più grande sfollamento in Cisgiordania occupata dal 1967. •A Gaza, dall’ottobre 2025, durante il «cessate il fuoco»: l’IDF ha ucciso 1.431 palestinesi, tra cui 300 bambini. • Nei pressi della «Linea Gialla», 196 palestinesi uccisi. Israele ha esteso l’area sotto il proprio controllo dal 53% al 60% del territorio di Gaza. Il capo di Stato maggiore israeliano ha definito quella linea il «nuovo confine». Dietro i numeri, le atrocità’ documentati dalla commissione: a Hebron, un bambino di sette mesi ucciso con un colpo alla testa mentre in braccio alla mamma in auto, dopo che il padre aveva alzato le mani. Una famiglia di sei persone uccisa nella propria auto. A Nablus, due fratelli uccisi. A maggio 2026, il generale israeliano del Comando centrale israeliano si è vantato: che soldati israeliani stanno «uccidendo come non facevamo dal 1967». La commissione riferisce inoltre nuovi casi accertati di stupro e violenza sessuale sistemiche nelle carceri israeliane: uno stupro di gruppo con l’uso di oggetti nella prigione di Megiddo e abusi sessuali e torture ai danni degli attivisti della flottiglia.

"an accounting issue" Such as Greece’s use of off-balance-sheet currency swaps use to hide debt and deficits in the early 2000s. Or Lehman Brothers Repo 105 in 2008. Or Iceland's banking collapse that same year. Or the South Sea Company in 1720. Or the Mississippi Company in 1719. Shall I continue?
Everyone is talking about Anthropic’s 1H 2026 financials showing $16B revenue with an $81B loss. But majority of the “loss” is mostly an accounting issue as Sydney Sweeney helpfully pointed out in her latest IG Story.

Per la cronaca, la C3 bianca che durante la manifestazione a Torino contro il riarmo ha rischiato di fare una strage tra la folla era della polizia. Sulla vicenda, il deputato di AVS Marco Grimaldi ha annunciato che domani depositerà un'interrogazione parlamentare.
