Claude Cowork is a nice early shot at moving agentic LLMs into the non-developer space. It's Claude Desktop but without the MCP faff.

One of the interesting things about the game ARC Raiders is that players are rated for their behaviour. So there are lobbies of players who never fight each other, and lobbies with more combative players.
Oddly enough, this is how Bluesky is turning out.

Smallbones was horrified. In Germany he witnessed increasing state violence against Jews. He wrote constant warnings to the Foreign Office.
The Nazis officially complained, after Smallbones daughter horse-whipped a Gestapo officer to try and stop the abduction of a Jewish man on the street. /3

The first conspiracy of 2026. Obviously Pingu is real and this elaborate scheme is just more fake internet that should stay on X.
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The President, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The trade Bazzoka went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back

I'm good thanks. I think I probably won't move to the country where the authorities pump out neo-Nazi memes and masked militias roam the streets.
The Trump administration has discussed offering asylum to Britain’s Jewish population, a lawyer for the president has said.
Robert Garson, Trump’s personal lawyer, said that the UK was “no longer a safe place for Jews” ⬇️
