This week's comic: Decision 2026

To be clear, I applaud the efforts of candidates to go on the offensive and reframe the political conversation around corruption and predatory billionaires. I just remain mystified how so many voters seem drawn to the most obviously unqualified, repulsively corrupt politicians that ever existed.

It Doesn't Even Matter


It starts with

One poll

And that's no lie

Would you vote for this girl or maybe that guy?

Keep that in mind for the next time

when I come by and ask

Yes, or, no

Do you like Democrats?

What about the freaks in bright red hats?

Do you disagree or somewhat agree

that both sides are bad

I polled so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It's Democrats or MAGA

It will never cease to amuse me that, for #RyuNumber purposes, the time Bandai-Namco chose to make Lili Rochefort a Digimon Tamer is an extremely relevant lore piece
Why is the Andalusian typical song and dance called "Flamenco", if the region of Flanders is located all the way in Belgium? Does it have anything to do with the historic period of the Spanish Netherlands? !No Stupid Questions

"If the Democratic Socialists take over that is, like, the end of America."

- Peter Thiel

Essay Prompt: What does this statement suggest about the characteristics Mr. Thiel sees as foundational and essential to "America"?

a big difference between East Germany and modern western society is not just that by outsourcing data collection to facebook and google the state managed to scale it better for $0 storage and query costs, between iPhone and android they managed to convince a willing population to pay for the acquisition and upkeep of the monitoring devices.

The costume theme at my wife’s office today was “dead celebrities” and she came up with this one all on her own. 10/10 no notes.
Doing a mandatory #Copilot training and, even if we disregard all the many usual reasons to avoid using LLMs, why would you bother using Copilot cloud agents for GitHub with all these red flags? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/github-copilot-code-agent/2-security-risks-limitations-co…
Text: "Compatibility limitations: Doesn't sign commits. If you require signed commits, you must rewrite the commit history before merging. Requires GitHub-hosted Ubuntu x64 runners. Self-hosted runners are not supported. Not available for personal repositories owned by managed user accounts (runners unavailable). Doesn't honor content exclusions; the agent can see and update excluded files. The "Suggestions matching public code" policy isn't enforced by the agent; references may not be provided. Works only with GitHub-hosted repositories. You can't change the AI model used by the agent; it's selected by GitHub."

Lighting five candles in memory of Patrick Stewart.
#PatrickStewart #SirPatrickStewart #StarTrek #Picard
It's a sad reality that, when famous people die nowadays, you need to find if they had any accusations before offering your condolences. For instance, all the dirt I could find about the late #PatrickStewart was that he was too busy with his career to focus on his kids. Otherwise, impeccable person.
The people that are disgruntled by the fact that #LibreOffice uses LLM-assisted code, despite of them proudly announcing their suite has no forced AI tools, might be able to move back to good old Apache #OpenOffice , right? ...Well, nope: apache.org/foundation/board/minutes/2026/board_minutes_2026_06_17.html #AI #NoAI
Turns out the hardest part of getting #Switch2 emulation was defeating the #DRM and dumping the games - Switch emulators managed to get Switch 2 games running within the week of the exploit being announced. What a world do we live in.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has discovered a new Dwarf Planet candidate in our solar system - 2026 ED138, a large, bright trans-Neptunian object orbiting beyond Pluto.

Distance from Sun: ~46 au (1 au is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. Pluto has an average distance of 40 au)
Orbital tilt: 25°
Diameter: 600 - 1500 km

If confirmed, ED138 would be among the largest dwarf planets ever discovered in this region of the Solar System.

Disclaimer: I'm not exactly a fan of vibe-coded reverse engineering and I'm sorry for the heads of Decomp.net being forced to close shop as a result, but alas, the cat has been out of the bag.


In an age where frontier AI models can reverse engineer any binary with relative ease, it's pretty much guaranteed that the only thing stopping a fanmade rerelease of #PokemonUnite on PC with custom servers is the Nintendo Anti-Piracy Team. unite.pokemon.com/en-us/news/unite-end-of-service/
