After almost 7 years at Epic Games, it's time for me to take a little break! It's been an incredibly fulfilling experience, working on amazing projects with legendary people. THANK YOU, @EpicGames, @FortniteGame@LEGOFortnite ! What's next? No idea. :) #NewBeginnings#EpicGames
@harukaawake It is weird that Japan had already law protecting foreign flag but not Japan flag I think. @grok to verify. But i believe it was the case.
@larsinthewoods@harukaawake Just clarification, the LDP has approved the bill internally, but it still needs to pass through the full legislative process (it mays face opposition from parties). However, it is moving forward under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
@tweetsoku1@grok In case of emergency and if nothing else is available, isn't it allow from Muslim to eat pork? (Quran 2:173, 5:3, 6:145, and 16:115.)
Reply in both english and japanese.
hu... i am not muslim and even I know it's not correct, in case of emergency or offering it is ok to eat pork.
Quran 2:173:
“He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced by necessity, neither desiring it nor transgressing its limit, there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful"
TLDR : in case of emergency or if offered, eating pork is fine.
BREAKING:
Keir Starmer says he won’t remove the exemption which allows Sikhs to carry large ceremonial knives on them.
Meanwhile, English women are being prosecuted for carrying regular pepper spray on them when out on the streets at night
The Chobani solarpunk short sure is beautiful.
It it also a romanticized lie.
Too many believe this depicts a post-industrial, anti-capitalist degrowth paradise: small farms, soft light, handmade food, children in nature, no smoke, no concrete, no alienation. A world healed by slowing down.
But that is not what the film actually shows.
The farm only works because it is surrounded by an immense hidden stack of energy, intelligence, robotics, materials science, logistics, medicine, education, communications, and manufacturing.
The characters in the short are not surviving through peasant labor, spending twelve hours a day breaking their backs to produce calories. They live gently because machines are enduring the effort, the pain & the violence on their behalf.
The world depicted requires solar panels, batteries, sensors, drones, autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, global supply chains, rare-earth mining, semiconductor fabrication, industrial chemistry, fertilizers, machine tools, roads, satellites, schools, universities, server infrastructure and data-centers, medical systems, and the accumulated knowledge of millions of specialists across generations.
In other words: it requires civilization.
PewDiePie releasing a local based LLM agent to compete with ChatGPT and OpenClaw was not on my bingo card for 2026:
What is Odysseus?
Local/self-hosted AI workspace — Runs on your own hardware (or via APIs if you want), no cloud dependency, no accounts, no telemetry/tracking.
Includes agents — Self-evolving agents that can do real tasks like web browsing, file editing, document work, research reports, email triage/auto-replies, etc.
Features — Chat interface, memory, deep research tools, image generation/editing, MCP support, galleries, libraries, and more. It’s basically his custom "ChatOS" evolved into a full productivity suite.
Built because he got tired of janky self-hosting setups and giving data to big tech.
