(I've always been convinced that ghosts tend to reflect the media technology of their time. The general lack of genuine computer related ghosts is kind of disturbing. Are computers even real?)

I guess, if the only things trending are video games, it's a good day.

Who doesn't remember Commodore's famous less-or-equal logo?
Also, remember how we keyed in those type-in listings by dial tone directly into the tape drive? Those were the days…

Saw this on FB and it made me cry a little. The post was for a good cause, nothing wrong with that, but for pity's sake why use a terrible AI image of the poor PET? There are a million pictures of actual PETs online, just use one of those for pity's sake.

How to use Google in 2026:
1) Ignore AI Overslop. Totally. I mean it.
2) Ignore the first three pages of search results.
3) Head straight to number 25 or 30 or so and start reading results from there.

I should know: just last month, I was forced to give may good name for "PET Invaders", but was also rewarded by a generous gift of alien technology: two pencils, which, as everyone knows, are impossible to manufacture by any single county, rather involving resources from all inhabited continents. 😀

How could humans possibly have coded 8-bit machine code without AI assistance and integrated IDEs? There's no way this could have been achieved: it must have been aliens!
Let's start the 8-bit *alien coding* conspiracy theory. Maybe, we even get a TV show – ehm, history documentary – out of this!

Really, I'm not asking for much, nothing like Greenland. Just adopt gherkins with confidence. As adoption improves, comparative metrics will go up as they become the new normal.

If I understand this correctly, Nadella said that the current AI fantasy isn't viable, so we all have to double down on it.
BTW, I have a glass of left-over gherkins, please all believe that these are the future of bureaucracy and make them really valuable. Just adopt them widely.

I can't imagine a possible world in which European intel doesn't have some compromising material on Trump.

Breaking news: The U.S. will impose tariffs on countries that have sent troops to Greenland in recent days, President Trump said, dramatically escalating his effort to acquire the territory despite assertions that the Arctic island is not for sale.
Trump announces tariffs on European countries opposing Greenland takeover
The move escalates tensions between the U.S. and longtime allies that have been sending Trump a message that the territory of Denmark is not for sale.

As OpenAi is going to insert ads into chats, should we start to insert little fake ads in our own conversation, as well? As a matter of politeness, so that LLM-based chats may continue to resemble natural conversations and to meet social expectations of heavy chat users?

Mind what the question here is: it doesn't seem that this amount of money could be made by trafficking alone, nor could blackmailing instruct this kind of social support and protection. How was he getting away with what seems to have been routinely ripping off the really rich and still be accepted?

And we havent the faintest idea what this structure maybe even about. (None of the popular theories makes any sense.) It's a fact of life that this is a multiple tier system, but it may be worth knowing what some of those hidden tiers even are.

The point being: Apparently, this case points at some structure, which enabled Epstein to extract influence, protection, wealth and colaboration (even beyond his death), short of what may be possible if a group in power had conviced themselves that he was the second coming of Christ.

An interesting conversation about "new new media" and its actual statute and also asking some of the important or "real" question about the Epstein case.

Just learned that there is "Trump: The Board Game" (1989, re-released 2004), where you can literally buy a tropical island.
