My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
TURN IT OFF.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.
This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.
Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.
Be warned.

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it.
So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

this is great for two reasons
1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly
2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard
