Jordan Peterson is in ICU again. This time it’s not experimental drug treatment in Russia, but apparently the result of mould exposure, and/or a spiritual attack by unknown evildoers. His daughter and fellow carnivore influencer has called for prayers.

Panicked Curtis Yarvin—JD Vance's guru—plans to flee USA

The arsehole was quoted:

The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020—because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the first—I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive.

Relatively poverty stricken people buy expensive convertibles when they have a midlife crises. People like him poop on the internet. Most likely he will be around, for sometime, causing grief

Has anyone else noticed CoMaps’ handling of touch events (on iOS, at least) being a bit janky? Sometimes it zooms when I want to scroll, or zooms out when I want to zoom in. Is this a known issue that a fix is planned for?

Apparently DOGE isn’t killing enough people (literally or metaphorically)

2024: Ireland accuses Israel of genocide. Israel ends diplomatic relations with Ireland. Ireland’s membership in the EU protects it from punitive sanctions from Israel’s allies

2025: The UK starts dumping non-EU-compliant goods into the EU customs zone through Ireland, undercutting EU producers. The EU moves to suspend Ireland from the Customs Union. Ireland calls on the EU for diplomatic backup. Germany replies “lol get rekt antisemites”. Ireland is reunited as an economic satellite of the UK, a century or so after independence

Big Tiddy Garfield:

Allegations that bomb detectors from an Israeli firm are configured to let bombs through if they have a specific code (presumably used by Mossad). The title is a reference to an anti-counterfeiting watermark used in currency

Teledildonics and eugenics: what more could you ask for?

The Billionaire Who Wants To Live Forever Has Long Covid

Can anyone recommend a good case for carrying a Steam Deck in a backpack or similar which is less bulky than the factory case and yet protects the device? (I’ve heard the Dbrand Killswitch and JSAUX Modcase recommended, though that was a while ago.)
