So it seems to me he's not actually following Project 2025, which is probably a good thing. But he is evil in the same way that the Heritage Foundation is, so there's going to be a lot of overlap, but very chaotic.

When you thought this timeline couldn't get any dumber...

I fail to see the end-game here for Meta. What do they actually gain from adding AI users to their platform?

Maybe it's about controlling narratives. If they create thousands of these, they could direct them to counter Russian troll farms, for example. But they can also be used for evil, for example directing them to create a narrative against anti-trust legislation and corporate taxes.

I've heard about the fake artist thing before, but didn't know it was this bad. I wonder if other streaming services do the same.

There's a certain amount of irony in it if Trump is the one who finally kills Chrysler.

106 is a lot, for sure, but I wonder how many different games I played this year? Several dozen, for sure.

I'm startled by how quickly the regime fell. It really shows how dependent it was on the support of Iran and Russia. Now it's time for the EU and USA to put pressure on the new regime to hold democratic elections. If necessary I think they should remove Hayat Tahrir al-Sham from their lists of terrorist organizations - that seems to be mostly based on their historical ties to al Qaeda anyway, and not their actual actions.

Fascinating. Probably not a sign of a healthy society that an assassination of anyone gets this kind of reaction.

I'm trying to think of any hypothetical CEO assassination in the EU that would create similar reactions here. Maybe the CEO of Nestlé.

The president probably shouldn't have the ability to pardon anyone. I understand why he does this, and it's much less bad than when Trump pardoned his ghouls, or when Ford pardoned Nixon.

As the kids would say; sus.

(The kids probably don't say that any more. They said it 4 years ago, and I'm getting old.)

So yeah, The Onion bought Infowars, apparently.

X has been contacted for comment.

Do they still auto-reply with the poop emoji? Yeah, fuck Twitter.

Can we look into adding Bluesky and Mastodon integration on Readup, so we can share our posts there instead of on Twitter?

Yeah, as a software developer who frequently has to understand old code, this is relatable.

I'm somewhat excited about new battery technologies. But they probably won't be the technological revolution that lithium-ion batteries were, unless they can make them light enough to be used in aircraft.

I don't believe in the antichrist, but I read a long and thorough article a few years back which explained how Trump ticks basically all the boxes for the antichrist as described in the Book of Revelation.

Honestly; I'm a bit worried.

Reminder not to vote for a fascist!

The project partners are currently scouting for locations to build ground-based receiving antennas that would collect the energy beamed down in the form of high-frequency radio waves and convert it into electricity to be fed into the power grid.

So many of my cities in SimCity 2000 have gone up in flames thanks to these power plants!

That aside, this does sound promising.
