"Wiggle your cursor to activate Gemini" is so insane I stared at this ad for a solid minute. Like, there's no explanation for this beyond "we desperately need to pad activation stats", right? Wiggle the cursor to activate Gemini?! WIGGLE THE CURSOR?! THE THING I DO FIFTY TIMES A DAY?!

Googlebook ad 
"Meet Googlebook, with Magic Pointer. Simply wiggle your cursor to activate Gemini."

Der demokratische Erfolg war so umfassend, dass Kandidat_innen zum Erfolgsbeifang wurden, die nur zum verlieren angetreten sind. In Colorado wurde ein 19jähriger in eine Führungsrolle am Höchstgericht gewählt, in Kansas hat ein Kandidat gewonnen, der im September seine Kampagne eingestellt hat.

«Das Frankreich der oberen Schichten verdammt die Linke und arrangiert sich mit den Rechtsextremen. Vor die Wahl gestellt, sich stärker besteuern zu lassen, um den Verfall des Landes aufzuhalten, oder mit Faschisten zu paktieren, scheint die Entscheidung gefallen.»

Ich sah ebenfalls eine kuriose Szene auf der „Gen Z regelt“-Demo in Frankfurt: Zwei Personen in schwarzen Trenchcoats stiegen direkt aus einem Polizeitransporter aus und tauchten sofort in der Menge auf dem Umzug ab. Hatte mir nichts dabei gedacht, bis ich diesen Tweet sah: x.com/ilyvia_/stat...

This is the company that went after a fucking day care when they painted Disney characters on the wall. If you don't think they will take exception to an en masse copyrighting of their IP from unauthorized third parties, you severely underestimate the reach of their legal staff. WB too.

I see there's someone suggesting people caught up in the AO3 takedown register the copyrights on their fanfic to protect it from scraping, etc, and, oh, boy, is this really not a great idea. I assure you that Disney, et al will not take kindly to that. "But they have to find out!" THEY WILL FIND OUT

Vor den Demos: "Wie schlimm werden die Krawalle?" Nach den Demos: "Es gab gar keine Krawalle." Was fehlt: Wer hat denn jetzt eigentlich für oder gegen was demonstriert? Wenn ihr Medien euch wundert, dass ihr nicht mehr relevant seid - da könnt ihr ja mal anfangen zu suchen.

Selbst in den #DLF Nachrichten steht im Bericht über die Demos gestern nur ein Satz dazu, warum demonstriert wurde, und dann viele Absätze zu Krawall oder keiner. Kommentare nur von Polizei und Politik, aber nicht von Demo-Teilnehmer*innen etwa dazu, warum sie dort waren.

Wir reden über Gewalt auf Demos statt über die Ziele & Themen der Initiatoren: Wohnungsnot, Bildungschancen, Klimakrise. Wir reden über Angst einer linken Bürgermeisterin statt über die Ziele & Themen ihrer Wahl: Wohnungsnot, Bildungschancen, Klimakrise. NiUS & Co. können ihr Glück kaum fassen.

your periodic reminder that there was a sperm whale called Porphyrios who took offense at the Romans and singlehandedly decided to stop all Byzantian trade and sank so many ships over the next 50 years that Justinian declared him an official enemy of the empire and put a reward on his head

I know I ask for this at least once a year, but can some nice historian reassure me that the world has ALWAYS been this stupid?

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Proteste in Frankreich: Französische Polizei wegen Umgangs mit Rechtsextremen in der Kritik

Die linke Opposition wirft Frankreichs Polizei vor, rechtsextreme Gruppen bei den jüngsten Protesten geschützt zu haben. Innenminister Laurent Nuñez bestreitet das.

In 2026 hatten Katherina Reiche & ihre Vertreter: 37 Termine mit fossilen Energiekonzernen 1 Termin mit Umweltverbänden 0 Termine mit Erneuerbaren-Unternehmen Das ist kein Terminkalender einer Wirtschaftsministerin, das ist der Zeitplan einer Lobbyistin. Dass sie noch im Amt ist, ist ein Skandal.

"The Missing Missing Reasons" is as important as pedocon theory. The mean, median, and modal parental estrangement story is "shitty parents do awful things, kids give up in their mid-30s, parents pretend they only did good things and they have no idea what happened."

Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...

Trump’s State Department Admits to Investigating All Passport Applicants For “Evidence of a Prior Sex Change”

The Trump administration now claims that signs of being transgender may include: renewing your passport early for any reason—even marriage—forgetting to fill out part of the form, and changing names.

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” is melting faster than forecast: “Thwaites holds enough water to raise sea levels by more than 2 feet if it were to collapse. Because it also acts as a cork holding back the vast Antarctic ice sheet, it could ultimately lead to around 10 feet of sea level rise…”

Scientists knew the Doomsday Glacier was melting. They didn’t realize how ‘aggressively’ | CNN

The planet’s widest glacier could contribute twice as much to global sea level rise as currently projected, according to new research by glaciologists.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖
