"Latin letters do not hold hands. Arabic letters do.

To understand why every machine since Gutenberg has wrestled this script and mostly lost, you need one structural fact: Arabic is cursive always."

This piece is an exhilarating, eye-opening, outrageous, and very funny tale of the difference between latin letters and Arabic letters, and why printing presses and screen renderers have such a hard time with it.

I love this comic. Unfortunately I don’t know who made it!

There are SO MANY people here in Silicon Valley who I *know* can afford to swap out their Tesla, yet they refuse to sell it and stick these stickers on instead. All of them are complicit.

EU has opened the first accession negotiation cluster with Ukraine and Moldova, launching formal talks on rule of law and core reforms.

Von der Leyen called it recognition of wartime progress. Zelenskyy called it a “strong step for Europe.”

We need an immediate law passed in Congress that the US Postal Service is required to delivery all mail to everyone, all the time, no exceptions, ever. All mail it receives must be delivered to the intended recipient, period. Violations get 50 years in prison. No parole.

Someone should point out to republicans that if this admin can order mail to not be delivered to democrats, the next admin can order it to not be delivered to republicans.

KPMG issued a report citing all the transformational ways GenAI has transformed industry, it’s been widely cited.

One minor problem: it turns they used AI to write the report, and it made up all of the evidence.

KPMG have now withdrawn the report in full.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully.

I went on TikTok for the first time in a couple years. Oof. There's an entire industry based on selling people the dream of becoming a content creator. It's actually so sad. People doing follow for follow, paying to boost their posts, buying seminars that "teach" you how to game the algo.

Ironically, no one is talking about the idea of just making quality videos that people want to watch. Instead they're making content about making content, and complaining that it's not working.
