Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How?

One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations.

Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Comic. [Person talking to person with black hat.] PERSON 1: Historically, it refers to a ceremony to predict the weather using a rodent. But nowadays people often use it to mean “a time loop experienced by one person.” PERSON 2: …What. [caption] Easily our weirdest holiday.

World's least surprising stat, now with alt text:
Finding that at least 4,913 Border Patrol agents and CPB officers were arrested over a 20-year period, Graff testified: "Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and officers was higher per capita than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.
A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com
Panel 1: A cartoon worm appears out of a book, shocking the reader and saying "Greetings, booklover! I'm Wormy! Your virtual Reading companion!" Panel 2: Wormy continues "This is an enhanced Book! There's so much more to it than boring old words!" The reader says "I like the words." Panel 3: Wormy "Of course! I've promoted you to 'bibliophile' and added you to the 'hi-brow lit chat' group. You have 33 welcome messages!" Reader "I just want to read!" Panel 4: Wormy "Ok! I've set your status to 'monk-ish devotion?. You have earned 85 commitment stars and are now in the silver league!" Reader "Umm... How do I get into the gold league?" Panel 5: Caption "And so..." Wormy is saying "Congratulations! You won a (top networker' Trophy and 165 Community coins! Do you want to purchase membership of the 'diamond league Private library?" The reader has put the book aside and shouts excitedly "Yes! Yes!!"

7. THE RURAL ART SCENE
I am so sick and tired of people telling me that the city is where all the artists live and the countryside is full of nothing but retired accountants and bloodthirsty farmers. LOADS of artists live near me and when they do art, they do it in a big way. The annual Extreme Linoprint on Druid’s Hill is one of the local calendar’s most well-attended events, although I do wish competitors would clean up more diligently after themselves.

Perfectly normal beginning to every great Dartmoor love story, in my experience.

1. The thing about science that these jokers don't understand is that science cannot be vibe-coded.

Whatever its flaws, the point with vibe coding is that you're trying to quickly make something that sorta works, where you can immediately sorta see if it sorta works and then sorta use it.

“The idea is to put ChatGPT front and center inside software that scientists use to write up their work in much the same way that chatbots are now embedded into popular programming editors.

It’s vibe coding, but for science.”
OpenAI’s latest product lets you vibe code science
Prism is a ChatGPT-powered text editor that automates much of the work involved in writing scientific papers.

For a period of a couple of years during the 2010s I was employed regularly by cattle to shoot the covers for the albums they had recorded. It was always wonderfully inspiring to witness the love, hard work and passion they had put into their music and I think that comes through in the photos.
Some cattle with rich parents who have formed a hugely sanitised-sounding folk pop band and paid a reputable PR and branding agency too much money to get their image just right. Some tense and jaded cattle who have just recorded their difficult third album, which the record company has informed them has no obvious hit single, and are consequently about to break up. A physically impressive but wretchedly lonely bull who has stolen another bull's child, made a record with it, and is imploring me not to call the police and instead help them absolutely nail the cover shot that will take them all the way to the top. A young cow whose music had been written off as "cold and aloof" so wanted to show her fans her sensitive side by getting me to photograph her having a really enjoyable scratch against this tree.

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow.

Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
Panel 1. A graveyard: the gravedigger sits on a pile of earth. Hamlet stands before him, holding a skull. Hamlet: “Alas, poor yorick! I knew him, professor Horatio.” He tis looking at a lab-coated figure. Prof. Horatio: “Actually, my analysis suggests this skull belonged to a young woman from the late Neolithic era.” Panel 2. Leaving the graveyard Hamlet: “Prithee, Horatio, tell me one thing.” Prof. Horatio: “What’s that, my lord?” Hamlet (angrily): “Dost thou have to spoil everything.”

יש לנו HBO max לכמה חודשים ואנחנו מחפשים המלצות צפייה לא כבדות מדי.
לא מעניינים אותנו ההפקות הגדולות והאלימות מסוג משחקי הכס, לא גיבורי על ופחות דרמות מדכדכות.
חשבתי שיהיו יותר אופציות מתאימות מהקטלוג של WB.
מה ממליצותים?
תודה!

Aurora Coolness

xkcd.com/3196/
Comic. My experience seeing the Northern Lights: [Graph: x axis is increasing time, y axis is increasing aurora coolness, going from visible glow on the horizon, color only visible in photos -> sheets and pillars of light, colors faintly visible -> “oh wow, it’s getting really bright now.” -> spectacular ribbons of color spanning the sky and illuminating the landscape. Graph shows dips and peaks over many hours with the topmost peeks for only around 5 or 10 minutes.] [caption] Aurora tip: If you get good views of the aurora, keep watching the sky; you might suddenly get great ones.
