At least when it's worthless it'll have the signature of the person who ruined it. #petroyuan youtube.com/shorts/5kpMlwL…

@allenanalysis The Dunning-Kruger effect in real time.

OMG, SHUT DOWN DOGE: A DOGE official in his 20s testified today that he canceled federal research grants based on personal judgment. No peer review. No subject matter expertise. No formal process. Just him. And books he had read. He flagged a grant studying HIV in prisons during the Reagan and Clinton era — decades of academic research — as “one of the craziest” because it mentioned LGBTQ in the description. He flagged a grant examining the military service experiences of Black, Native American, female, and immigrant veterans as crazy. His qualification for making these calls: “A person can have enough judgment from reading books.” He was then asked if he regretted cutting programs that may have led to people dying. “No.” Did DOGE reduce the deficit? “No.” A person in their 20s. Reading books. Canceling peer-reviewed academic research. Deciding what knowledge the American government is allowed to fund. No experience. No regret. No results. Under oath.

@JonathanPieNews In a world where nobody reads, this is your supercar. Lets hope you don't crash it and need a doctor

"I'm too smart to read". I have nothing more to add to this.

It's important to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas: ghosts terrorising rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more.

Ever wondered why a child can game for hours but can't do homework for 10 minutes? The reason has nothing to do with laziness.

I missed the Black Friday sale, could you at least fix the app so I can buy the lifetime version on my small screen? @xwavesoft

“Does not allow AI-generated content” will be the rule that lets new social media apps beat the ones we rely on today

@DiscussingFilm AI visual models are bad for so many reasons, not just the obvious ones: x.com/daganshani1/st…

Some 100 private jets will fly to Venice for Jeff Bezos' wedding, and I recycle yoghurt cup lids.

The former Water Splash World at Scarborough :( maps.app.goo.gl/jrgSJWKmdqmk8m… I remember freezing here in the height of summer decades ago #happyDays #waterSplashWorld #Scarborough

Part of me knows I need to build some testing functions but I was convinced I could hit a treble 20 in a couple of goes 😭 #12projects darts301.com

10 minutes into my "12 projects in 12 months" challenge and I had nowhere to track progress because I was halfway into building yet another blog framework. Scrap that, using Josh Collinsworth’s SvelteKit starter and getting something up this week. #12projects

This man creates the wildest veo 3 video I’ve seen, storytelling will never be the same again

🇳🇴 Norway took its oil wealth and built the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — investing in pensions, healthcare, and the future. 🇬🇧 Britain sold ours off in the 1980s, handed control to private corporations, and spent the revenues on short-term tax cuts. 🔴 Today, Norway has one of the highest standards of living in the world — while the UK is stuck managing decline. 🔵 Thatcher’s Conservative govt was responsible for handing over control of North Sea oil to private corporations, dismantling public ownership, and prioritising free-market policies over long-term public wealth. Thatcher forfeited long-term public income from oil in favour of short-term privatisation proceeds and tax cuts. 🔴 Norway, by contrast, retained public control and built up the $1.6 trillion Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund from its oil wealth. The UK spent most of its oil revenues on general government spending during the 1980s, with little legacy investment.

Kicking off a “12 projects in 12 months” challenge next month to get back into fun dev. Deadlines there to avoid overthinking. Hosting, builds & deployment are sorted, so no excuses. Building with SvelteKit… maybe even some PHP 😱 First up, it's darts: darts301.com

Sad day for Bolton – when your own university decides its name isn’t good enough and just borrows someone else’s.

@faisalislam Dave’s Coffee Hole announces "Greater Starbucks" – because apparently you can just do that now

I missed the somewhat spectacular rebrand/ rename of Bolton Uni…
