Since Taiwan is just a vassal state.....

The problem with this argument is that it assumes Chinese imperialism was necessary to defeudalize Tibet You failed to consider my mind palace, fool! I can imagine things going better! The perfect IS the enemy of good, but only in hindsight! We defeudalized you so now we get to forcibly assimilate you / erase your culture is wildly unacceptable by any measure. You thought my mind palace only had one weapon? Fool! I can invent reality wholecloth!

Is COBOL Enough To Make An FPS Game From Scratch?

Reminds me of a ray tracing obsession I had around 1990. I created ray tracing “games” on every weird system I had in any programming language I knew at the time. I even had one on my old 1984 MSX machine, that ran at 5 fps, which wasn’t bad at all. The one I made in C on my DOS machine was pretty good actually. Except I never got very far with the actual game part, as soon as it rendered and you could move around I got bored and moved on to doing the same thing on the next weird machine or language. These were inspired by a lot of demos going around at the time and papers being passed around. I think Wolfenstein itself was inspired by the same demos.

Layoffs expected as new Xbox chief forces hard reset in Microsoft division

Microsoft’s Xbox division is reportedly planning layoffs as new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma plans a “reset” for the beleaguered gaming business. Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources, first reported Wednesday that Xbox was planning “major job cuts” within the division in early July after Microsoft’s fiscal year ends on June 30. The same day, Sharma and Xbox Chief Content Officer Matt Booty said in a memo to employees that after their first 100 days on the job reviving Xbox, the next 100 days would be devoted to a major overhaul — or a reset, to borrow gaming parlance. After touting the recent successes of Xbox — Microsoft has been hard at work to reverse the decline in subscribers to its Game Pass service — Sharma and Booty laid out the realities the gaming business needs to navigate. Microsoft has poured billions of dollars into its gaming division over the past five years, even excluding the $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard. The memo said investments in Xbox have surpassed $20 billion since 2021. At the same time, the division’s annual revenue has declined by nearly $500 million. “Going forward, this cannot continue,” the memo said. Amid the artificial intelligence boom, which has helped boost Microsoft’s cloud computing sales, Xbox is facing a hardware component crisis. The cost of storage components for gaming hardware has quadrupled since last fall and Microsoft expects another significant increase heading into 2026 holiday shopping season. As AI demand increases, companies have been spending more on specialized hardware. That coupled with AI’s extraordinary need for memory is leading to higher costs. For consumers that means demand is outpacing supply for Xbox consoles. Because of this, Xbox needs a new business model for its next-generation console, code-named Helix, according to the memo. “Our current platform infrastructure is not built for the battle ahead. … We’ve become too reliant on vendors to operate our systems and must become more self-reliant as an engineering culture to build for the future,” the memo said.

The corporate lobbyists behind new defence secretary Dan Jarvis

New defence secretary Dan Jarvis has previously received around half a million pounds in donations from corporate lobbyists. So, as mainstream media outlets say the Labour right-winger “once looked like the future” and “is a fine choice“, let’s look into the dark money that’s been fuelling his political career. Jarvis and his local Labour Party in Barnsley have done such an awful job at countering Tory damage to the town in recent decades that it turned to Reform in the 2026 local elections. And when you look at where Jarvis’s funds come from, you can understand why the people of Barnsley might not exactly be his top political priority. 1 — Labour Together millionaires One major source of donations to Jarvis has been key Labour Together donor Martin Taylor. Taylor runs a hedge fund that invests in private healthcare. Fellow Labour Together donor and proud pro-Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn also gave thousands of pounds to Jarvis. It seems likely that such support was at least in part because Jarvis was a parliamentary supporter of Labour Friends of Israel who even received money from the lobby group. Labour Together was a prominent vehicle for undermining Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party and forcing vacuous corporate lackey Keir Starmer onto the country. Other beneficiaries of money from Labour Together or its donors have included high-profile cronies such as Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting, David Lammy, Shabana Mahmood, and Rachel Reeves. 2 — The “multimillionaire recruitment tycoon” with interests in private healthcare EveryDoctor explains that “multimillionaire recruitment tycoon Peter Hearn“: made his fortune through recruitment firms PSD and Odgers Berndtson Odgers Group Limited, where he resigned as a director in 2025, has offered: headhunting services to the NHS as well as the private healthcare sector. The firm has faced criticism for some of the senior executives it has helped recruit to the NHS. Former TalkTalk executive Dido Harding was headhunted by Odgers Berndtson to lead the NHS Test and Trace programme during the pandemic, which was later deemed to be ineffective by MPs. A fellow director at Odgers was Tory peer Virginia Bottomley. While Hearn clearly has a massive soft spot for Labour right-wingers Wes Streeting and Yvette Cooper, Dan Jarvis has been the other key recipient of Hearn’s money. They’ve all received money from Hearn’s OPD Group and MPM Connect Ltd. Labour campaign group Momentum once called MPM “dark money“, and Sky reported that: The company has no staff or website and is registered at an office in Hertfordshire where the secretary says she has never heard of them. EveryDoctor says Hearn’s OPD Group also “provides services to the NHS“. With Dan Jarvis, the lobby’s grip on government continues In 2016, Blairite strategist John McTernan said Jarvis: so clearly wants to be Leader of the Labour Party. Many on the right of the party mentioned his name “as a potential challenger to Jeremy Corbyn” early into Corbyn’s time as leader, with some of them even seeing him as “the party’s greatest hope“. Jarvis also reportedly had links to Blue Labour, whose whole argument is basically that Labour should be ‘more conservative‘. Jarvis has largely remained quiet in the last ten years, just accumulating corporate money and doing little of note for people in his constituency. But his move into the role of defence secretary may be a sign that his star on the Labour right is rising yet again. Considering that lobbyists’ empty vessel Keir Starmer has pushed Labour far to the right as leader, it’s unsurprising that Dan Jarvis fits neatly into the project. The question now is, exactly how much will Jarvis’s deep links to the corporate lobby influence Ministry of Defence policy at a time of already increasing military spending?

Took this picture of a coyote from my deck

This was a few weeks ago. Caught this guy coming out into the open looking for food. Not sure if you can see because of the reflection on the water but he is staring directly at a family of ducks that were swimming nearby. I hear the coyotes all the time howling, but this was the first time I was able to actually see one, and I think it resulted in a pretty good picture!

Upset ‘Tommeh’ gives Canary’s print edition free advertising

The Canary upsets all the right people. Particularly, it seems, in print. The far-right hate peddler known as ‘Tommy Robinson’ has got a bit upset at being called out on a Canary front page for his part in inciting white-supremacist violence in Belfast. And in his annoyance, he gave the Canary some accidental free advertising: He doesn’t have a leg to stand on about the ‘smear’, legally speaking. Truth is an absolute defence and libel requires damage to reputation, while his — and no doubt his income — depends on his supporters seeing him inciting. And even in the UK’s corrupt justice system, there’s no way to say evil like this isn’t inciting: The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people. It’s time pic.twitter.com/tscckc9ceK — Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) June 9, 2026 And the Canary is not the only outlet to point out that he was not just inciting, but coordinating, the Belfast white hate riots. Like the i: And even far-right ‘msm’ rags have taken him down before, just as brutally: They are far right shithouses. pic.twitter.com/mmrQMALuCy — Andrew (@AndrewEgan89975) June 13, 2026 Of course, Tommeh’s mates might not be too impressed that he was (again) sucking up to foreign billionaires while he was doing it. But then again, they might not care. Only certain kinds of foreigners are despised, perhaps. Tommy Robinson — “Cry harder” And his post didn’t exactly generate much sympathy. Lots of responses encouraged him to get even more upset: Cry harder! You only have yourself to blame! — Duncan Still Socialist tired of LIES & Anger (@BRUMSTOKIE) June 12, 2026 Others focused on the truth of the headline and the article: You mean… the truth?? — Ren (@RenLaz17) June 12, 2026 And quite a few added the ‘patriot’s liking for foreign climes (and cash): You do have ten names though don’t you, protecting British values but changes his name and moves to Spain. The guy that has been an illegal immigrant, complains about illegal immigration. pic.twitter.com/JZIoJFp3LU — My Two Pence (@MyTwoPenceUK) June 12, 2026 Oh fuck I HOPE they did. It’s about time your grifting coked up shit stirring little arse got a proper headline. That’s MARVELLOUS. Well done @TheCanaryUK pic.twitter.com/XdD8W887js — Damian (@D_MQuail) June 12, 2026 Lots pointed out the cash, actually: Where’s the lie exactly you malformed little racist runt? pic.twitter.com/deFGhG0j7s — CaptainBird (@CaptainBird5) June 12, 2026 And the foreigners operating him in return for it: pic.twitter.com/NOrX6TgXi0 — George (@seeyouinpub) June 12, 2026 Some pointed out the, ahem, inconsistency of Robinson’s ‘political’ positions: The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people. It’s time pic.twitter.com/tscckc9ceK — Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) June 9, 2026 While others just contented themselves with taking the mickey out of him for not realising the obvious: It’s literally there in front of you, you bleeding imbecile — RandomHero (@ImMeHooYou) June 12, 2026 Of the many hundreds of responses, only a few were from people willing to reinforce the idea that he doesn’t incite, or is right to. There are far too many good replies to include them in an article, so if you have a spare few minutes, reading the others will be a rewarding way to spend them. And of course, spare a few to pop out and buy a Canary print edition, Monday to Friday. You can find your nearest stockist here. It really is upsetting all the right (wrong) people.

Little update

Hourly updates won’t happen, but have another picture :⁠-⁠) And… Maybe another ;⁠-⁠) And, the mother cat was saved by my neighbour, who still has a special place in her heart. They belong together and we will make that work out. If we can emotionally manage to keep a kitten, will depend on their behaviour and how good we can handle it. Losing our loved cat just a bit more than a year ago still leaves us with quite some unprocessed feelings. Helping this family is very therapeutic though.

Why they always do this?

1). Society tells women they need to do things “preventively” to avoid becoming hideous goblins in a few years. That’s why you see 22 year olds getting Botox - they have been told they have to start paying NOW to avoid wrinkles 2). Hollywood and entertainment media have normalized unrealistic standards. And you can’t become a newcomer in that space without conforming to the employable look 3). Gossip media loves to pick apart any millimetre of fat (“Is ______ pregnant? Click to see her baby bump!”) or photo taken in bad lighting (“What is wrong with ______ ‘s health, click to see what our medical specialists have to say”). And then they love to chastise people after they give into plastic surgery (“Click to see ______’s terrible nose job, why DID she do it??”) Billions of dollars are made making women feel shitty. Nobody is going to let that cash go because morals.

Why are space shuttles always rockets, and take off straight upward?

I forget the guys name, Werner von Braun. He wasn’t a nazi, but he worked for them because execution by firing squad is a sucky way to go. why not design a space craft, which more resembles the take-off of an airplane? Scientists and engineers are working on exactly that, but the tech isn’t ready yet. There would still need to be a rocket stage, but getting to the top of the atmosphere would be safer.
