Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Here are three things you can do to support the small businesses you want to survive this mess that don't cost you any more money than you were already planning to spend.
1. Pay in Cash
2. Bring Your Own Bag
3. Keep your gift cards clean & give them back to the store when used up.

Today’s US stock market chart zigzagged after the media fell for a social media hoax claiming that Trump was considering suspending tariffs. In my book Propaganda, I describe other cases of information-driven manipulation in the markets. www.ft.com/content/901a...

Got out of a great Apple Music subscription I had. To end unbridled capitalism and the unending harms it causes, we have to sacrifice our consumerist habits.
Ditched Spotify earlier this year. This is not me preaching or signalling. It's increasingly difficult to detach ourselves from all the complex forms of evil that make our lives so convenient. I'm not always great at it, myself. But I want to be better and I want musicians to be paid for their work.

Android has always taken the approach of it being developed in private and then having the full sources and commit history published for each stable release. This approach used to be the norm for open source software many years ago, but now most projects do a lot of their development in the open.

While researching my novel 1983, which is based on the Nottinghamshire mining village where I grew up, I had a weird memory of a man who used to take his cow for a walk around the village, like it was a dog.
"Have I made that up?" I wondered.
So I checked my mum and dad's old photos.
I hadn't.

i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people?
disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.

For anyone interested, this is the second piece in my personal series on women's reproductive rights. As a man, I’m struck by how much misunderstanding—especially among men—surrounds women's essential lifesaving care. This is my way of learning and reflecting on the stories of those who’ve lived it.
