Why are there two 24s?

Poor Things. I thought The Lobster would be the high watermark for weird films I saw this year, but nope. Artistically excellent, had something to say, a few hilarious moments, and was refreshingly strange.

Summersault in Sydney 1995. Some classic bands, a warm summer evening, natural amphitheatres of rolling grass hills, Beastie Boys counting down to 1996. Perfect.

The terror will continue until you join us, then we will be nice, I promise!

Some chose to do so when they elected Republicans, but many definitely did not.

My kid loves physical fail videos, and there’s lots of skateboarding. Some make me curl up in a ball, but I let him watch them because honestly they are pretty instructive.

I’m not sure what “don’t fuck with immutable anything” means, but distros built with rpm-ostree (like all the Fedora immutable distros) make it easy to switch distros. You can switch from Silverblue (Gnome) to Kinoite (KDE), to Bazzite for gaming, to Aurora for development, to a growing list of other distros with a single command. And it’s not just Fedora distros either. You can try a lot without committing.

Similar here. Left Red Hat for Ubuntu Warty because reviews suggested it was great (it was). Left Ubuntu for Debian because of snaps (not so great). Left Debian for Fedora because immutable sounded like less system admin and more using apps (it is).

Do LLMs not exhibit emergent behaviour? But who am I, a simple skin-bag of chemicals, to really say.

Tanks fired, then people died. How many were killed directly? Any? Did people die in a panic stampede? The headline is misleading by omission, even while speaking basic facts. I suspect people were killed directly by the IDF, but can I support that with this headline? No.

Just tell Pete Hegseth’s wife and the Russian hackers can read about it in The Atlantic.
