Google has been branded an abusive monopolist by a federal judge for the second time in less than a year, this time for illegally exploiting some of its online marketing technology to boost the profits fueling an internet empire currently worth $1.8 trillion. FRANCE 24's Wassim Cornet reports from Los Angeles.

Y’all know what happened to RFK junior’s brainworm?
It starved to death.
Sorry, needed the comic relief. And also, RFK is both very evil, and very, very stupid.

You Might Walk Past These—But They’re Tiny Masterpieces in Disguise
In Milan, Golsa Golchini is reshaping how we see the cracks, rust, and decay of city walls. Her miniature street art scenes don’t cover damage—they embrace it.
A girl swings from rain streaks. A turtle borrows a tank as its shell. A young musician draws music from crumbling plaster. Each piece is site-specific, small in scale but rich in detail, and carefully crafted to interact with its exact surroundings. In this collection, we feature ten of Golchini’s latest public artworks across Milan—where the city’s imperfections become the very foundation of her storytelling.
🔗 Follow Golsa Golchini on Instagram
Laundry Day
A woman leans from a real window, painted to appear as if she’s reading the fractured wall like a book. The peeling plaster becomes a cascading page.
The Hidden Melody
Golsa Golchini cleverly integrates minimalist art, depicting a young girl realistically painted emerging from peeling plaster. The girl is holding a bow as if playing Double Bass on the crumbling wall itself, transforming urban decay into a subtle and poetic performance.
Flashlight Beam
A boy holds a large flashlight aimed upward. The beam isn’t painted—it’s a real streak of sunlight on the wall, timed perfectly with the art.
Elephant Friend
A little girl in a striped dress reaches out to gently touch the head of an elephant, its form emerging naturally from the cracked wall. Golsa Golchini uses the contours of the damaged surface to suggest the animal’s shape, turning urban decay into an unexpected moment of connection between child and creature.
Turtle Shell
A green turtle peeks out from behind a public plastic container. The container’s shape mimics its shell in a surreal visual twist.
Boy with Dog
A child walks a dog on a leash. The dog is made from a rust stain and a hole in the wall, blending seamlessly with the texture.
Snail at the Curb
A snail painted near the sidewalk seems to crawl slowly through a pile of real dried leaves. The edge of the street becomes part of its journey.
Rain Swing
A girl swings from two long streaks of water damage on a concrete wall. The stains form ropes, and her painted legs kick out into open space.
Cracked Pikachu
A joyful cartoon face bursts through a chipped section of wall, clearly inspired by Pikachu from Pokémon. The playful eyes and wide pink mouth are painted around the cracks, making it feel like the character is peeking through the surface itself.
Giraffe Peek
A giraffe peeks through an opening in dense ivy, as if hiding behind the greenery. The painted surface perfectly matches the hole.
Golsa Golchini’s art doesn’t just live on the walls of Milan—it lives with them. Every crack becomes a canvas, every rust patch a character. These ten interventions remind us that beauty can emerge from erosion, and that even a broken surface can tell a complete story. In Golchini’s hands, the city itself collaborates—every wall is part of the work.

Trump’s tariff plan is a shameless cash grab, using everyday Americans as pawns while his billionaire buddies rake in profits. This isn’t policy—it’s insider trading at the highest level. Time to hold him accountable. #Corruption #TrumpTariffs #TheSwamp newrepublic.com/post/194107/...

China’s experiments on the Tiangong space station back up its claims that it wants a human base on the Moon, and long-range manned missions to Mars and Jupiter.
This Astrum video does a good job of explaining things. In short, China's experimental work on its space station is all targeted at practical steps to help it build a Moon base, and have manned missions to the outer solar system.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)

The image depicts a highway scene shrouded in a thick layer of dust or fog, creating a hazy atmosphere. The road is a two-lane highway with a yellow dividing line in the center and white lines marking the edges. Several vehicles are visible, including a black sedan in the left lane and a silver SUV in the right lane, both moving towards the camera. In the distance, more vehicles can be seen, indicating traffic flow. The surrounding landscape is dry and barren, with sparse vegetation and a fence running parallel to the road on the left side. The sky is overcast, contributing to the poor visibility. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by shades of gray and brown, reflecting the dusty conditions.

Kalo coming out of the solar cooker, just in time for lunch 🥰
Lunch was: kalo grown by my bf, and eggs from @saltphoenix . Topped with butter and chili sauce. I'm so grateful that I have these wonderful people in my life who share their bounty with me and feed me 😭😭😭
I actually do have a hand-crank mill that I believe was intended for homebrewing beer.
I kinda can’t believe they don’t peel it or take out the big thing in the middle.

"[N]ot only do the structurally empowered eighty-to-ninety-percent-men of technical organizations...get to choose emotions over efficacy, they get to do so while also maintaining the notion that they never have emotions in the first place."
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the phrase "vibe coding" is so effective at shaming people who let LLMs write their code.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, that "doing things by feelings" is shameful in my field.

Why I Cannot Be Technical
With some regularity, kind-hearted Technical people tell me that I Can Be Technical, Too. This usually happens when I’m asking us to define what we’re calling technical in a software environment. I understand why it happens.Cat Hicks (Fight for the Human)
"In some systems otherness causes smartness to dissolve because otherness is more useful to the system than the smartness."
Replace "smartness" with "humanity" and you get the recipe for making big money in big tech. This is the reason FAANG treats you as a user, not a person.
Again, Dr. Hicks knows all this, I'm just live tooting.
"Caring about the code is supposed to be what you do to earn being here and I refuse that. I cannot be Technical because I put my caring, my hope, my love, and the center of my universe somewhere else."
Her words, my reason why I've never worked in big tech, don't want to work in big tech, and have made some of the career decisions I have made that limited my income but multiplied my quality of life.

in reply to Radical Graffiti • • •The image shows a sticker on a gray metal surface, likely a trash can. The sticker is circular with a black border and white background. Inside the circle, there is a cartoon illustration of an opossum holding a red book with its paws. The opossum is depicted in a relaxed pose, with its tail curled around its body. The text on the sticker reads "TRASH FASCISM • NOT BOOKS" in bold, white capital letters, with the words "TRASH" and "BOOKS" on the top and bottom, respectively, and "FASCISM" in the middle. The sticker's design suggests a message promoting the value of books over the suppression of ideas, as indicated by the phrase "TRASH FASCISM."
