GROSS is a materialist critique of the immaterial joys of cinema. Header: It Happened One Night, 1934





🇪🇺 The new trend in Europe now is building new houses with tiny windows, so that they stay cool and don't need to install or use AC to cool them "Less sunlight = less heat = less cooling = less energy use" is their thinking But there's a reason people buy modern design villas that are floor to ceiling glass (I did) You want as much sunlight as possible coming in for your health, because your circadian rhythm depends on it, improving your sleep quality so you produce melatonin at the right time and fall asleep easily and stay asleep all night Sunlight also affects your mood of course, it heavily boosts serotonin and decreases symptoms of depression Having wide views of the sky, nature or ocean also have a measurable effect on lowering your stress So Europe is now building houses with tiny windows all so they don't need to install AC, while the new home owner inside will slowly become miserable, stressed, depressed, start sleeping bad and as a second order effects of that become sick (but of course then you can sell them pills) The conclusion is the same I had during the ongoing heatwave in Europe where tens of thousands of people are still dying every month because they're not allowed to install AC: Europe now cares more about energy use than people's lives Degrowth is a completely delusional cult affecting all of Europeans lives now!


No, Count Binface does not mean that British democracy is especially tolerant or accepting of outsider voices. Let's try not to be mugs: bowblog.com/2026/07/11/cou…










It's no coincidence that Claude Fable is so good with cybercrimes. Anthropic has specifically trained it for this purpose, so that they could stage the whole drama about it being "dangerous". To what end? To raise fear and ultimately regulatory capture.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
