@HealthRanger The Basilisk is building itself.

Something's totally off about the number of data centers being built (over 3,000 right now) and the sheer size and compute power they represent. They are massively OVER-building capacity that can't possibly be met by customer demand for compute. And customer revenues can't possibly recover the financial investment needed on these projects. There's clearly some other plan afoot, and I don't yet know what it is. It involves massive compute, but not merely to serve inference or hosting databases and corporate data. There's a much larger plan at work here.

@spencer_askew Agreed. I think Nolan is a good (not great) director who's got lucky with some great performances from his actors. Without Heath Ledger's Joker I think Nolan's career would have taken a very different path.

“The Odyssey” trailer simply looks boring. I remember everyone trying to convince me that Dunkirk was some sort of masterpiece. Same with Tenet. Oppenheimer had its moments of brilliance, but I really believe it only stood out because of how extraordinarily bad Hollywood had been for the years before (and Cillian Murphy is legitimately talented). All that to say, Nolan hasn’t really had a good film in twelve years (Interstellar), and he’s eighteen years after what is considered his best (DK).

@TheHumanoidHub I just know that if those ring lights turn red, we're in trouble.

The first two look like state-of-charge indicators for the two battery packs. What is the third indicator for?

@iamrobothead Surely everyone who wanted a Grogu Funko Pop already has one by now. Who else is this film for?

That looks ridicules 🤣

@Glinner “Let’s go!” “I can still save him.” Looks like the most generic rote dialogue imaginable. Not holding out much hope for this one.

"My Dad is coming home." WTF?

@GauciReports If a club serves too many patrons it can be shut down in violation of its planning permit. Same thing should happen for places of worship. If your congregation doesn't fit inside, tough.

🚨STREET PRAYERS TAKE OVER KENSINGTON PAVEMENT Friday afternoon in Collingham Gardens, Kensington. 30 plus men completely blocked the pavement for prayers right outside the Qatar linked facility. • Pedestrians, disabled people & prams forced into the road • Uber drivers parked bikes on the pavement to join in This isn’t peaceful worship - it’s dominance over public space. The mosque is next door. Keep prayers inside the building. Highways Act 1980 s.137 makes obstructing the highway illegal. Why is this allowed in London?

@joeroganhq Christopher Hitchens Richard Feynman Sadly not to be...

What's your dream JRE episode?

@InterstellarUAP Great. 46 more fuzzy, inconclusive videos.

Jeremy Corbell on Fox News: "Trump will release the 46 UFO videos" “If we’ve ever had an Administration and President that sees the public interest and would enact upon that for the people - it would be this President.” He’s urging full disclosure of the 46 UAP videos Congress demanded from the Pentagon. “There are machines, craft of unknown origin that fly with impunity in our restricted airspace. The jig is up. People now know UAP are real.” What are these craft? Who’s operating them? The public deserves the truth.

@ThatMoviePage There's a great quote from Lord of the Rings. In one night scene one of the actors asked, "Where is that light supposed to be coming from?" And one of the crew replied, "Same place as the music." Movies aren't reality, they're something more.

I was listening to the cast and crew commentary on ALIENS the other night and all Lance Henriksen says at this part is "Look at that shit". Why did they ever stop lighting movies like this.

Has there ever truly been a video game that captures the danger, tension, collaboration and victory of D&D?

@Cortex_Zero @RepTimBurchett Put a nutter on the stand and you can get "sworn testimony" of anything you like. We want PROOF.

-“We have sworn testimony that there are recovered alien bodies.” -@RepTimBurchett -“We’ve been briefed on locations.” Then he adds that another member of Congress warned him directly: -“Tim, why do you wanna do this? Don’t you know this is gonna disrupt everything?” That last line may be the most important part. Because it suggests the resistance is not only about whether the claims are true. It is about what happens if the public is forced to confront them. Recovered bodies. Alleged locations. Sworn testimony. Congressional briefings. At some point, this stops being a “UFO story” and becomes a constitutional crisis over who has access to reality-altering information, who has hidden it, and who decided the public was not psychologically, socially, or institutionally prepared to know. The disruption may be the point. #ufox #ufotwitter Clip Source via @UAPJames: x.com/UAPJames/statu…

@TheBrancaShow That's a basic equation for finding the roots of a quadratic equation... and she's got it wrong.

May she contribute all her talents to Nigeria.

@TheAliceSmith The Simpsons predicted it again.

Zohran Mamdani promised New York an unending flow of free stuff when elected as mayor. Now, four months later, the city is broke. Here’s an exhaustive list of all the economic lessons the Left will learn from this living case study:

@HowThingsWork_ Impossible AI slop.

Not something you see everyday!

@RetroMoviesDB Always thought it was interesting that the Visitors' red jumpsuits and shades exactly matched the humans that left with the aliens in Close Encounters.

V: The Miniseries celebrates it's first air date from 1983! Any fans?

@the_book_land It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

Excluding the Bible, what are your favourite opening lines of a book (of any kind)?

🇳🇴 A Syrian migrant found guilty of raping a 13-year-old Norwegian girl in a bike shed in Tromsø will serve just six months in prison after the sentencing court ruled that the attacker had a "low IQ" and "a reduced understanding of reality." Abdelmonem Abdelrazak Al-Yousef was found to have raped the girl in September 2024, less than a year after arriving in Norway from Syria. He met her in Tromsø city center before assaulting her on a park bench and leading her to a secluded bike shed near the Harbour Terminal where he raped her. He initially denied meeting the girl, but after semen was found at the scene and traced to him, he admitted to meeting the victim but not engaging in sexual activity. Psychiatric assessments showed he had a very low IQ, and the court ruled that "the defendant is most likely no further along in development than the victim." A change to Norwegian law last year removed the minimum prison sentence of three years for rape, allowing the court to impose a partial suspended sentence conditional on probation, meaning he will only serve six months inside.

@RoadknightThe Welcome to country.

Should kids be living in conditions like this or should they be removed? Should anyone be living in conditions such as this? Or am I being 'culturally disrespectful' again?

@ABridgen When Failure Becomes a Strength Kier Starmer has tanked the Labor brand so comprehensively, no one dares take on the task of fixing it. Ironically, failure is the only thing keeping him in power.

Remeber when Keir Starmer told us there was a £22bn black hole in the accounts ? He knew this was a lie when he said it and so did his chancellor Reeves. They just wanted to financially hit the pensioners. Who voted for these people ?
