At a White House Christmas reception on Sunday, President Donald Trump made clear what he wants from Santa this year.
“We’re building an arc, like the Arc de Triomphe,” he said during a rambling speech, after spending 10 minutes talking about golf. “And we’re building it by the Arlington bridge … opposite the Lincoln Memorial.”

Our arcade's toilet renovation is progressing nicely, it's being build from ground up, with all fresh tiling, piping etc.
Since everything is fresh, I've been getting some ideas about its look. Today I picked up this simple LED plafond with hopes the dome would come out willingly and it would have a sane attachment mechanism for it.
I got lucky and I've been putting together an alternative dome for it with #freecad. Can you guess what it's going to be? 🤔

"AI MUST DIE" · is a short zine that presents critical perspectives on the way that AI is talked about, governed, and owned in 2025.
reshared this
The image is a book cover with a photograph and text. The title of the book is “AI MUST DIE” in large, bold, black letters on a white background. Below the title is the subtitle “Critical Perspectives on the State of Artificial Intelligence” in smaller, black font.
The photograph depicts a robotic device, resembling a floating, cylindrical sensor, partially submerged in a water fountain. There are people visible in the background, near a tan building with columns. The fountain has green plants surrounding it, and the water appears murky.
At the bottom of the cover is text reading “Incident 68: Security Robot Drowns Itself in a Fountain” followed by “AI Incident Database” and the URL “incidentdatabase.ai”.
