1/ My plumbing story. The other day, an unnamed member of our house tried to toss a pound or more of cubed, old, turkey, into the garbage disposal. I am in no way blaming this person: it's what garbage disposals are for, yeah?

It's now possible to walk from Westminster to the Tower entirely along the north riverbank (only straying a few metres to go beneath bridges). First time in London's history this has been possible. Details on link londonist.substack.com/p/an-historic-…

An 18-year-old Japanese classical guitarist, Haruna Miyagawa, performs Niccolò Paganini’s Caprice No. 24, a technically demanding violin piece arranged for guitar, highlighting its sequence of variations and arpeggios in a contemporary concert hall setting.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

The Flying Lizards: Money (1979). Stripped back and ironic New Wave art pop, this was an unlikely hit but it really stood out at the time. No synths used on this: the piano has lots of paper and other junk covering the strings to give it that tinny, banjo-like sound.

The universe is predictable, until it isn't. This wheel isn't broken; it’s caught in a tug-of-war between gravity and momentum. Even though the water falls at a constant rate, the wheel’s direction is hypersensitive to the tiniest change.

What makes a "thing" a thing is its relative frequency. Fast activity can perceive slow activities. Slow activities cannot (easily) perceive faster activities (or perceive them as "multiple distinct things")

The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens". whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/… After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of 992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from? Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise. It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/…) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for 'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025. In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical. Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

I feel like the “Bay Area is high sincerity / low irony, New York is high irony / low sincerity” 2 x 2 really is the high order bit with the most explanatory power when it comes to culture and vibe. Sasha and @clarabcollier nail it.

Did YOU want to watch CCTV's AI Martial Arts cartoon about the Straits of Hormuz crisis? Complete with fighting Persian Cats? Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!🥷😼🦅
