The details are wild. "The report found Edwards had gone to the staffer's home to do yard work, pick her up and drop her off using his congressional driver, and decorate her Christmas tree — skipping House votes to do it, according to the committee."

Responses to this giving a pretty good indication of how men react when they’re told “No” (an eloquent reminder of why women sometimes need spaces of their own)

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

When enough rain falls in Maltahöhe, Namibia, millions of desert lilies bloom across the landscape for just a few days each year. This natural phenomenon briefly transforms the arid desert into a sea of flowers almost overnight. IG: @ earthpix

OpenAI and Anthropic are time bombs at the heart of the AI industry, which is why hyperscalers and NVIDIA continue to prop them up. Without them, hyperscaler revenue growth stalls, and the entire con collapses. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-demand-bubble/

To put things really simply, Anthropic and OpenAI are a way that hyperscalers can feed their revenue to themselves by spending money on capex, backstopping compute contracts, or doing direct equity investments. Their continued existence allows the AI bubble to continue inflating, but this can only continue as long as venture capital and hyperscalers are capable or willing to invest. There is simply not the demand — not from open source, not from other AI labs, not from self-hosting, not from anywhere — to justify the capex or the massive data center buildout. And for those arguing that there would be a dot-com bubble recovery story, I must be clear that if there isn’t demand today, it won’t magically appear tomorrow. AI GPUs will cost just as much to run in five years as they do today, as will unfinished data centers cost just as much to finish, as will electricity remain expensive, and all this will be happening after it’s easy to raise venture capital to actually buy the compute. To quote my buddy Kasey, every major cloud compute provider is solely standing on OpenAI and Anthropic. OpenAI and Anthropic are time bombs, and when either of them explodes, everybody will ask why we didn’t see the brutality that follows coming. The truth is that nobody wanted to look.

There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
