there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Really think Australian organisations should be banned from making customer web portals until they can learn to respect their customers' time and attention.
I 100% think they should be jailed if they even consider CHANGING a customer portal without seamlessly migrating user accounts across first

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Just noticed on an old VHS that Robert Patrick was wearing a NIN shirt when he was 3D scanned for the T-1000. That would have been 1990, so he was proudly supporting his brother Richard Patrick, who was in a new band called Nine Inch Nails at the time.

HMP Wandsworth gets ‘green light’ to use AI after team sent in to find ‘quick fixes’ after spate of mistakes
Artificial intelligence chatbots could be used to stop prisoners from being mistakenly released from jail, a justice minister told the House of Lords on Monday.
Lord Timpson said HMP Wandsworth had been given the “green light” to use artificial intelligence (AI) after a specialised team was sent in to find “some quick fixes”. Continue reading...

JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

THEA1200 Console
The Legendary ’90s Home Computer is Back.
Step into a time when floppy disks ruled, pixels popped and imagination had no limits. THEA1200 brings back the spirit of the early ’90s as an astonishingly accurate, full-sized recreation of one of the most loved home computers of its era, beautifully reimagined with HDMI and USB connectivity for a modern age.
Just plug it in and power it on to be transported back to a golden age of gaming. Relive the thrill of classics like Beneath a Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Ruff ’n’ Tumble, Defender of the Crown I & II, the Turrican trilogy and The Settlers II, all pre-loaded and ready to play.
Everything you remember and more is here, with a working keyboard, classic mouse and retro-style gamepad, it puts authentic control at your fingertips. Whether you’re replaying old favourites or sharing them with a new generation, THEA1200 makes every session feel like 1992 again.
And with the Workbench desktop and USB stick support, you can explore, create and customize just like you used to.
THEA1200 isn’t just a computer.
It’s a time machine.
Relive the joy. Rediscover the magic. Reboot the memories.

It's important to keep pointing this out about the many people who have gone the same way. Too often we suggest or imply that the trans moral panic merely allowed these people to be who they always were. Not true. We're seeing a process of *radicalisation*. We can't fix things unless we name them.
Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:
Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.
Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.
Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

BYD has a market cap of US$120bn. It makes twice as many EVs per year as Tesla (4.2m in 2024 vs 1.8m) and is growing at 25%/year vs Tesla's 4% decline in 2024. Even in the best case where Tesla turns around and remains a major EV player, its current $1.3trn valuation is *still* out by a factor of 10
This. Tesla is a mid-sized car company with a valuation build on hype and lies, an ageing range of models, facing tough competition from multiple places and with a CEO a large proportion of potential customers actively hate.
"with 1 trillion dollars, Elon Musk could-"
He doesn't have one trillion dollars. He's not going to have one trillion dollars. The company promising to give him one trillion dollars isn't worth one trillion dollars. It's not going to be worth one trillion dollars.
