Please read! This is now the fuckong state of the IT world!

Fuck AI!!! Fuck it with a hundred meter long pole with spikes! (Well, do that with the people developing and using AI)

Why we see news anchorpersons only from the waist up.

The Far Side comic strip by Gary Larson from Monday, April 13, 2026 | TheFarSide.com

A cartoon from The Far Side® comic strip by Gary Larson from Monday, April 13, 2026 | Transcript: So far, so good! We now control a prime source of their information, and the foolish earthlings do not suspect a thing! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! … Now return to your stations.

My week starts with a request: "I need a server to deploy to production, but the devs have no idea how to do it. They don't know how to use the terminal, they don’t know how to handle certificates, nothing. They need to be able to click a few buttons and deploy directly to production. They're Vibe Coding experts."

Welcome to 2026.

I want to emphasize this. The president of the United States was attending a f*cking wrestling match while Iran peace talks collapsed. Imagine if Biden had done that!

So let me get this right:

The Iranians mine much of the Strait of Hormuz, and then allow certain ships through (friendly and/or willing to pay);

The Tangerine Tyrant claims this is 'closing' the Strait (it isn't);

Pakistan mediated 'peace talks' fail because JD Vance refuses to budge - not negotiation, just demands for surrender;

Now, the US says it will close the Strait - the very thing it accused Iran of doing?

Thereby deepening the crisis the attacks on Iran caused.

“We are born gold. Full of joy. Then they beat it out of us. Don’t let them do that to you, don’t let anyone do it to anyone else… and most of all, don’t do it to yourself. Stay golden. Keep your youthful enthusiasm for life, because it’s all we got.”
Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

Hmm, this is kind of neat, all the assembly source code for Apollo 11!

(the amount of code in here is a tiny, tiny, tiny size compared to any modern software, btw... TINY).

It's nice to see (checks notes) Hungary's Orban showing us how to concede an election.
