Today, I went to the Lakenhal museum in Leiden and made this 👇 I swear that this is my first drawing ever! I never had a pen in my hand before. Looks a bit like the young Ron Perlman.

The Gaia-X initiative was “a crushing failure, a colossal waste of time, and just as many years gained for the hyperscalers — in other words, an industrial disaster.”

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Asia will dominate this century. This has been clear for decades, & when you go back in history, it held for 2000 years with a 150 year interruption. But I can’t think of a multilateral organisation, think tank, or NGO originated in the West that is organised for this reality.

Millions across northern India have spent weeks living under a toxic blanket of smog. The air is choked with particulates from the seasonal burning of rice-paddy stubble on nearby farms, mixed with industrial and vehicular emissions. See more photos:

Nijmegen railway station is being redeveloped to boost train and passenger capacity and add a new large bike parking garage. One of the bike tunnels under the station is closed for works, so one of the car tunnels has been repurposed as a temporary route for cyclists and pedestrians.

Pluribus is promising. – Your Slow Horses hype has made me a bit cautious. But Vince Gilligan obviously knows how to write and shoot a good story, and Rhea Seehorn is a good actor. So, thumbs up.
