This guy is an incredible performer: goes up on stage and cuts a flawless album track in one take while putting on a stage show. As someone who spent 24 years as a musician before seeing the better of it, let me just recognize game in Mr. César Sampson. Consummate fuckin' performer there. #eurovision2026

Another day, another hairpin turn in the world of Donald Trump’s foreign policy.
The weekend was all about war,
and Trump insisting Iran had not yet “paid a big enough price”.

styled as a grand “humanitarian gesture” to allow trapped ships and their crews to escape the Gulf,

On an nvidia 3070 in the lab it works flawlessly.
On the amd 9700 i just put in my office workstation the 100baseT1 scrambler consistently fails to lock and I get no decode, but the eye patterns look fine so it's not failing too badly.
If i run on live streaming data from the thunderscope…
