scrunched up photo of a sad orange cat captioned "oh no, cringe". preceded by an article excerpt reading:

Also present on the plane in the countdown to Operation Epic Fury was a veteran film star, Dennis Quaid. At some point in the flight, Cruz filmed Quaid sitting next to Trump and persuaded the actor to reprise his role as Ronald Reagan in a 2024 reverential biopic, so that Cruz could frame the encounter as β€œtwo great American presidents”.

Speaking as Reagan, Quaid declared Trump was β€œlike me on steroids”. It was a highly stylised passing of the flame from the patron saint of Republican hawks to their current hero.

article excerpt:

Senior Labour politicians across London have warned the government not to take progressive voters for granted, with concerns the party faces a β€œpolitical earthquake” in the capital in May after a surge in support for the Greens.

They have been privately circulating new data that suggests Labour could drop from first to fourth place in London in the May elections – losing control of all but two of their councils – with the Greens soaring into first place to take nine.

a crt filter over a pixely image from an MSX emulator showing 3 hand drawn cat sprites. the cats are red with yellow eyes, magenta with cyan eyes, and peach with green eyes.

the cats are looking down, and one eye is squinting slightly, the ends of two whiskers are frayed in a curl. he is going to eat you.

well its more like 24 sprites? each cat is a 2x2 grid of 1bit colored sprites, and a set of those for the base color, and a second for the eyes/mouth/booper/whiskers.

the upper house is certainly flawed, but overall we're better for it. this is good news for the fight against hypercapitalist slop machine vendors who believe they're entitled to the fruits of every artist's, writer's, musician's etc. creativity for free

as a recently-retired from the industry web dev with experience dating back to the 1990s, it's deeply upsetting to me how accurate this is. and how many of the terms in it I recognize from developer discourse and awful jobs in corporate environments over the last decade

felt motivated over breakfast to watch, for the umpteenth time, the Pan-Am / space station / Moon landing segment of 2001: A Space Odyssey and reflecting once again that nothing can or will ever outdo the design aesthetic and physical production of this vision of space travel. absolutely flawless

you know what an actual use for smart glasses would be? automatically recording any time I cross a road. so I could get video of dipshits like the woman who just drove across a zebra crossing in front of me while I was halfway across, looking down at her phone

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true.

p.s. I had to tell off a man for having a phone call on speaker while I was looking at a display of bullet casings and a shovel blade, recovered from one of the places where village Jews had to dig their own graves before being shot in the head. some people have a breathtaking lack of common sense
