Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka Tuesday 🗡️
"The space of the continents did bold Ares watch, sitting armed on the high top of Thrakian Haimos, and his horses were stalled by the seven-chambered cave of Boreas. And the other kept watch over the far-flung islands."

Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me
(Really flying) it stretches out far as the eye can see
I can see"🎶

The White House published a photo in which Netanyahu is seen forced by Trump to apologize to Qatari PM Al Thani while reading a piece of paper on the phone. I guess the script was 99% sure provided to him by Trump or his administration.

Apache Flink is uniquely positioned to serve as the backbone for AI agents, equipping them with the powerful new tool of stream processing. At Berlin Buzzword 2025, Steffen Hoellinger discussed how Flink jobs can be transformed into “Agents”—autonomous, goal-driven entities that dynamically interact with data streams, trigger actions, and adapt their behaviour based on real-time insights.

To my mind the following article suggests that the present day "AI" approach is very wrong.
Why? Because biological RI (Real Intelligence) out performs CI (Computer Intelligence) by orders of magnitude on many dimensions: power required (perhaps 20 to 50 watts for the human brain), weight, size, cooling, and ability to innovate in new ways.
Our present digital computer approach to intelligence seems about as apt as trying to power passenger airplanes using onboard coal…
Just had a little watch of this update video from the SpyCops enquiry.
I don't remember ever having met "Mark Stone" (Mark Kennedy), the Nottingham SpyCop. And it's not that I think I'd've been an attractive target for him even if I had. But the whole thing feels spookily close to me, thinking about how close his spying came and how easily we _could've_ crossed paths. I spent time at the Sumac Centre during the same era as "Stone". And I know several people who did know him or were adjacent somehow - close enough to be in shock when the news came out of who he really was.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke
Rollins gave a candid message to Americans about the continued impasse and concerns that millions of people could soon miss out on food benefits.
“My message to America is, first, the fact that your government is failing you, right now,”
said Rollins, whose department oversees the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
