Ophelia and Winnie are back, spayed and recovering! Ophelia, as is tradition, is making sure nothing changed in her absence and not letting any of her godparents baff the vet smell off her.

Winnie has decided my lap is snuggly and isn't moving.

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.

It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

Beachtlich: Trumps #Ukraine -Gesandter Witkoff soll Moskaus Unterhändler Uschakow im Oktober Tipps gegeben haben: #Putin möge #Trump für die Waffenruhe im Gazastreifen loben & vor dem #Selenskyj Besuch bei Trump mit ihm sprechen.

Beachtlich auch, dass die Story an US-Medien durchgestochen wurde.

I won't dismiss the possibility that Karoline didn't know this would happen, but the careful wording around the son makes me concerned ice did her and her brother a solid and got rid of the kid's mom.

I'm generally not a fan of the protectionist/autarkist rhetoric around many "Buy European" initiatives.

But there are some cases where it just makes a lot of sense to reduce dependencies - in particular when there are free open-source alternatives easily available.

In Österreich waren im Jahr 2023 84,3 % der Verurteilten männlich.

That's 160F, so 71 in adult numbers. Which is real, real bad. Urban heat island effect has an enormous impact on the people and wildlife that live in the city.

Sound design choices aren't just about aesthetics, and people really need to stop treating them like they are.
IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.

Data from June 19, when the daily high was 106 degrees, shows asphalt across the city that day was between 120 and 160 degrees.

Well, I haven't heard it, but that's a standard thing. He's got to sell this to Ukraine, he's got to sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does.
