To be clear, Iβm not a nihilist. I have plenty of optimism for the future.
But it does not include saving a country that has dedicated its entire existence to the de-evolution of mankind so a handful of entitled pricks can control systems they have no idea even how to manage or use.
Iβm off that train. I want to live, not conform to some bullshit set by people who hate themselves.

The βrisk factorsβ section in the CoreWeave S1 is truly epic. More broadly, just interesting to see another example of a crypto hedge fund pivoting to AI and finding an even bigger gold rush to sell shovels into. DeepSeek, CoreWeave, I wonder how many more?

Hey George,
It would be great if you stopped the folks at comicsands from linking to twitter in the articles, as they show up as blank for everyone who has done the proper thing and blocked it on a DNS level.
screengrabs are fine if you need to show us a picture, but text copypasta works well.

Server Down
I am not sure how long the Server has been down today. I went to login and got a 503: Service Unavailable. I am looking into what caused the issue.
After discovering that I could not connect to my instance, though the server was still up. I did the most reasonable thing ;). I rebooted it. That seems to have fixed whatever took the service down. I am looking into what caused the issue and how to prevent it in the future.

The US has pressured Ukraine into accepting a 30 day ceasefire to negotiate a permanent peace in Ukraine.
One likely scenario is this:
Putin is running out of resources, so he will accept and send a delegation demanding that Ukraine accepts all of Russiaβs terms, that all of the 5 occupied oblasts of Ukraine are now Russian.
Ukraine will say no to having their land stolen this way, and Trump will then claim that it is all Ukraineβs fault, that peace was not achieved.

Here is an alt-text description for the image:
The image is a tweet with a picture of a woman in an athletic jersey holding a shoe filled with greenery. The text above the image reads "My fat ass thought she was holding a giant sandwich." The woman in the picture is fair-skinned with brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. She is wearing a white jersey with blue accents and the FIFA World Cup logo on the sleeve. She is holding a light pink running shoe filled with what appears to be grass or moss. The background shows green grass and blurred stadium seating. Below the image is the tweet of Brian Schmid, [@]SchmanthonyP, βIt took like thirty seconds to see anything but sandwich.β
