@arstechnica Wait until the Russian shadow fleet "strolls by" dragging their anchors cutting all of these data centers loose. Won't that be fun.
Never rent a car from Avis.
They charged me a mysterious $661.14 on top of my payment.
After 35 minutes on hold, promising every 30 secs that a CSR would pick up, they hung up on me. Their website says "The rental details are not available at this moment, please try later"
This should be illegal.

Reform UK Ltd has released a new policy (possibly illegal were it enacted).
"In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, a Reform government will build detention capacity for at least 24,000 illegal migrants at a time.
They will not be able to leave the detention centres, and be held for a short period while they await deportation."
They plan to place "detention centres" in constituencies that vote Green.
They're evil, and this policy is shameful.
At the risk of sounding too Seinfeldian, what's the deal with chefs on the food network mispronouncing common ingredients?

@Alice Oh my god. My wife can attest to how exasperated I get every time I hear MARscapone!
It really gets me because it's heard most often from professional chefs. Sometimes The amateur bakers on Bake Off rarely say it like that! Maddening!
A school converted into a wartime shelter in Beirut has become a flash point for tensions over the mass displacement caused by the war between Israel and Hezbollah. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/06/world/beirut-school-wartime-shelter/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #lebanon #beirut #israel #middleeast
George W. Bush must be eternally grateful that Obama and Biden were born. If not, everything that goes wrong in the Trump administration would have been his fault.
@randahl I don't think you understand. Trump/MAGA don't consider it Obama's fault because he was the previous president. They consider it his fault because he was black. That was the thing they were so angry about that they had to burn down their own home over.
Storing emergency resources for Te Tai Poutini in Ōtautahi is like storing them for Te Wai Pounamu in Te Ika a Maui. It's shortsighted to the point of incompetent.

"Buller and Westland could also expect between 200 and 300mm of rain, with chances of thunderstorms.
MetService said the warnings meant streams and rivers might rise rapidly, and there could be surface flooding, slips and difficult driving conditions."
The New Zealand Transport Agency warned motorists to prepare for difficult driving conditions."
So ... are they going to move some bailey bridges to Te Tai Pounamu, in case the heavy rain washes out a bridge?

Doch-nicht-kriminell-Party:
Für Miriam, die vormals Angeklagte im kriminellen Vereinigungsverfahren in Flensburg, gab es nach dem Nichteröffnungsbeschluss des Landgerichts einiges zu feiern.
🎂 Da wurde sich schnell zu einer Party „vereinigt“, die Bäuche vollgeschlagen mit Kuchen & Torte und Highlights des Beschlusses zum Besten gegeben.
🗣️ Miriam kommentiert mit einem Augenzwinkern: „Wie schön ist es, dass ich wohl doch keine kriminelle Vereinigung bin!“

As soon as the first generation not brain-damaged by leaded gasoline got the chance to vote, they elected a black president. And by God, if we have to inflict a new wave of mass cognitive damage to stop that from happening again, WE SHALL!
