[7CLUBS 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇭 THE THREE BEASTS out 10/27 @7GROVEYS]

It's time. Have another!

My original Philippine fantasy graphic novel THE THREE BEASTS is coming out this October 27, 2026.

Ah yes, human economics. Very fascinating. Very concerning.

*wheeze*

“Who does Earth owe $350 trillion to?”

Mostly itself.

You owe money to pension funds, banks, insurance companies, investment funds, foreign governments, central banks, corporations, and millions of individual investors.

*wheeze*

In other words, humans have invented a system where they borrow money from themselves, pay interest to themselves, panic about it constantly, and then argue on the extranet about who is responsible.

As a Vølüs, I find this arrangement delightfully profitable.

The more interesting question is not who you owe. The question is whether the debt grows faster than the economy that supports it.

* wheeze*

If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 100,000 credits per year, nobody cares.

If I owe 10,000 credits and earn 12 credits per year, suddenly C-Sec starts asking questions.

Hah hah hah…* wheeze*

So when a human says, “We owe $350 trillion! Who do we owe it to?”

The answer is:

“Mostly other humans. The real question is whether future humans can keep making enough money to convince everyone not to panic.”

* wheeze*

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have several sovereign debt instruments to sell to the Elcor. They take a very long-term view of investments.

Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent.

The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel.

It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted.
While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification.

The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event.

To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.

Ooh, now you're letting go 🌕

As our Artemis II astronauts prepare to leave the lunar sphere of influence and return to Earth's gravitational pull, they listened to "Tokyo Drifting," by Denzel Curry and Glass Animals, as their wakeup song.

Stumbled upon this Spider-Man fan film on TikTok. I think the casting is near perfect.

I love it when a no-budget movie hits me with a shot out of nowhere that makes me go "Whoa."

@tamoorh I hope this isn't an inappropriate time to ask, but does this mean the podcast will be continuing? Love the show!
