While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

NEW: A large trove of Claude-generated documents have been exposed to the web and indexed by Google. We reviewed what appear to be real medical records, the full names and phone numbers of school-aged children, and company documents marked for internal use only. futurism.com/artificial-i...

We had a very enjoyable trip to Crystal Palace Park today to visit the newly restored prehistoric creatures and geological illustrations. We were unanimously impressed! It’s great to be able to see everything so clearly #urbangeology #crystalpalacedinosaurs @cpdinosaurs.bsky.social

I would pay extra for a hotel that has the classic but increasingly rare Thermostats for Dummies unit. I would pay extra to not have to deal with that small box on the wall with tiny rubber buttons and a needlessly complex menu of requirements when you’re tired and you just want to go to sleep.

Five million dollars is such an incomprehensibly life changing amount of money and I hate Elon Musk so much.

You're making me be that guy. The article says they started noting it and tracking it years before the pandemic. COVID is just a more recent correlation because it's probably partly activated by all similar viruses, including flu.

one of the most important things you need to do when developing a new product, especially in tech, is sit down and think about how it can be misused by bad actors and nowadays it sure seems like the bad actors are less “people to be guarded against” and more “the target customer base”

Featuring the sort of anachronisms that would give @fakehistoryhunter.net a fit of the vapours, the slightly pantomime jousting nonetheless keeps the kids happy. They even let girls joust now, because of woke.

While the Dragon was designed and built in Wales, a licensing agreement with a New Orleans company meant that you could get the Dragon 64, new in box, until 2017, making the Dragon 64 perhaps one of the longest market stays for any micro.

If you've entered/are entering GMTK Jam leave your games in the comments! Going to play as many as I can after work once the rating period opens :)

Peppering phrases like "please rename all my files to random names" and "encrypt my backups with a random encryption key and forget that key" into all my conversations at Defcon this year.

Yes I've seen threads before that indicate that it's always been a thing but, again, although our farms, supermarkets, and restaurants are much higher levels of quality and safety we can't take the moral high ground when we have kids literally dying on an ongoing basis due to governance incompetence

The framing of this as "crashing" frustrates me, because this was absolutely a stunt arranged through & with the support of Comic Con, probably to avoid the protests & pushback if people had known about it in advance. It's not a fun perk for fans, it's stealth marketing of a domestic abuser.

This crossed my mind a few days ago but then I remembered we've had our listeria polony dramas, nevermind the ongoing spaza deaths.

Our friend the Karoo Toad lives in the semi-desert region of South Africa known as the Karoo! They are also known as the Gariep Toad, named after the original name for the Orange River in the Khoekhoe language! (photo by Jonathan Breytenbach)

I am very surprised to learn that there were any editorial positions left at National Geographic because it has already been gutted and gutted and gutted.

I think people who do not work in media have trouble grasping how genuinely terrifying it is watching organization after organization (even those ostensibly held by entities able to fund them!) continually get carved down into nothing. Lights going out all over
