Singapore has come up with some internationally workable proposals for handling the vetting, and acceptance of AI agents even as they move across borders.
Often the people least affected by things are most transfixed by it. #Midterms2026

Bonfire Night!
"Remember, remember the 5th of November:
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot."
A lot of people know this from the movie V for Vendetta, but when I was a kid in the UK we learned the rhyme in school.
Back in the 1600s a group of conspirators plotted to take out the government and the King at the same time. They packed the cellar under the Houses of Parliament with barrels of gunpowder and planned to light the fuse when the King arrived.
Guy Fawkes was caught on his way to set it off. He was hanged, drawn, and quartered. Yet in the UK we still mark the day by celebrating the sheer audacity of trying to destroy the King, the government, and Parliament in one go.
We do it with bonfires, public firework displays, and (for reasons lost to history) cake. The night before is Mischief Night, supposedly the night the conspirators were planting the gunpowder. Mostly itβs just pranksβ¦ but when people have access to fireworks, those pranks can escalate fast.
The most ridiculous βprankβ I ever saw was a group of kids stuffing a phone booth full of fireworks and blowing it up. Not really a prank if you ask me.
This was an Educational post from a Brit abroad. Todayβs the day Americans get to post about Brits losing their fingers.
If youβre celebrating, have fun and stay safe.
There was a bomb threat in Azabudai Hills yesterday. The primary school there had to be evacuated. 15 cops went in and Sept the place. Nothing happened and itβs one of those obscure things thatβs probably nothing but you never really know.
Against censorship but at the same time I donβt believe we need to be exposed to peopleβs last moments as they die from freak accidents. The Lear jet and the football player this week. It should be a standard option not to be desensitised.
Amazon web services chewing through $75 billion of capex spending in Q3. Thatβs a billion dollars a day, you know. For one company. A billion dollars of new spending every single day.
Microsoft say they added 24 data centers in the same quarter. 2 new data centers a week going live and they still havenβt got nearly enough to meet their backlog, so they say.

Γ por isso que nΓ£o hΓ‘ viajantes do tempo.
Para que a viagem no tempo como conhecemos na ficção desse certo, seria necessÑrio se teleportar para a exata coordenada do universo que o planeta estava ou estarÑ. Muitos viajantes devem ter morrido sem considerar isso.
We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
βRight now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
βBecause the Solar System is tilted 60.2Β° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
βThe last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

This guy said the quiet part out loud and you can feel his anger and disgustβ¦
I couldnβt agree more..
Japanese air self defence forces scramble fighter jets on average every day against Chinese incursions. Back in the 2000βs these were incredibly rare. These days itβs constant.

In a weird way, everybody is rooting for you. When you go to a job interview, the interviewer wants you to be amazing so they donβt have to look anymore. when you go on a date, the person wants to have an amazing date with you. If you make a piece of content, people want to see amazing pieces of content and they have no problem if itβs yours.
the instant you get into the mindset that people want you to do well, your entire world gets better. And youβll be shocked to know this pattern keeps repeating in different areas of life.
