Mortal Kombat Suffers Fatality, Gets Dropped From The Biggest Fighting Game Tournament Of The Year

U.S. President Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility of extending anti-drug operations to Mexico and Colombia. "I would look at it," Trump stated in comments to the newspaper Politico.
Finally got my ayam goreng, just in time for our last meal in Malaysia! Found a hawker center where a local was eating some, looked at me, and said "good, very good." Reader, she wasn't lying 😭. Two rounds were had.
Secondly: I can't tell if the data includes buses being stopped at... well, stops - or if it's only measured over the time the bus is in motion. With the increase of stops in developing suburban areas, the average speed would naturally come down.
I'm not saying that bus speeds aren't coming down, but it's hard to read into the data - especially when the speeds are only a few tenths of a mile per hour slower than pre-pandemic levels.
Similarly, the 48 and 94 routes had seen gaps between buses increase from five to 15 minutes.
Off topic; but as a rural dweller, that made me giggle. An hourly bus is a luxury round here, and that's on an A-road on a rural-to-city route.
E.g. the 272 going North on Wood Lane has to cross the A40 intersection. But due to roadworks, the traffic going North is extremely slow. People coming from the A40 fill any gap that opens up and when the lights turn green for the bus, there’s nowhere for the bus to go. I’ve once spent like 20 minutes there without the bus being able to go.

The vibes are all wrong with this new type of scam How well do you remember the front page of your favorite shopping site? How about your bank’s website?

En train de tenter de comparer les assurances pour animaux. C'est la jungle.
Déjà, vu la gueule des sites internet, je suis allée voir les mentions légales : santévet et Bulle bleue appartiennent toutes les deux à la même entreprises, la compagnie des animaux (que je connais parce que c'est le seul site qui vend les seringues à insuline que j'utilisais pour Fantômette ; et leur site merdoit).
Ce serait pas mal de trouver un seul site avec des tarifs clairs, et pas l'obligation de faire une "demande de devis" qui sert à pomper nos numéros de téléphone... (sans jamais préciser qu'on a le droit de s'opposer à son utilisation commerciale)
Le nid de pratiques pas tout à fait légales, j'vous jure (et je ne suis vraiment pas spécialiste de ça, donc si je les repère c'est que c'est vraiment abusé).
On va peut-être éviter la société de courtage de droit néerlandais qui travaille avec une succursale de droit allemand. Ne serait-ce que pour les frais d'avocats pour déblayer le merdier de "auprès de qui je conteste ?"
ah, une société de droit suédois ! Mais enregistrée en France également.
(Lassie)
GoodFlair impose de laisser un numéro de téléphone (mais on peut mettre 06 00000000) et le tarif est moins intéressant que Kozoo pour des garanties moins bonnes. J'avais regardé car "entreprise à mission", mais au final, bof.
Dalma ne réclame pas non plus le numéro de téléphone (seulement DEUX sites corrects sur ce sujet-là, bordel !), et produit un devis très précis avec des indications précises sur ce qui est pris en charge et ne l'est pas. Tarif parmi les plus intéressants, à peu près similaire à celui de Kozoo. Moins de finesse dans le choix des options (kozoo propose des palliers à 50/60/70/80/90/100%, Dalma uniquement 60/80/100).
quand je me replongerai dans cette jungle, je pense que ça va se jouer entre kozoo (tarifs) et dalma (qualité de l'information préalable aux consommateurs).
Enfin, selon ce que je trouverai comme squelettes dans les placards...
Du coup j'ai filé mon mail poubelle à 3-4 sites, la fréquence de re-contact va jouer ^^° (je veux bien un mail de temps en temps, si c'est relance toutes les semaines, c'est RELOU et CHIANT)(a tester aussi : la facilité à se désabonner)
Il existe aussi des numéros de téléphone poubelle 😉 L'ARCEP réserve les 06.39.98.xx.xx aux fictions audiovisuelles, cette plage de numéros ne sera JAMAIS attribuée à un utilisateur réel. Mettre cette plage de numéros dans un formulaire, c'est la garantie d'indiquer un numéro de téléphone crédible (qui n'a jamais indiqué 06.06.06.06.06 😅 ?) sans JAMAIS être démarché.
Guy bought a newly released Minelab GoldMonster 2000. He said he would not keep it if the machine did not pay for itself in short order. But…. This is a new metal detector, and like any new detector there is a bit of a learning curve, so he was off to a slow start. He really did not want to have to sell the machine, though, so kept at it, and his perseverance has paid off handsomely. Has now found 2 oz gold!!! If anyone has any misgivings about the new GoldMonster 2000, these finds speak for themselves.

"AI’s explosive growth in 2026 is setting off alarm bells. Behind the impressive façade of innovation lies a labyrinth of ecological, economic, and social threats. From skyrocketing energy use to deepening inequality and a looming investment bubble, the AI boom could destabilize society rather than improve it."
Salut les gens (les loulous? Les chatons? Les zami.e.s?)!
📢 Demain, vous l'attendiez impatiemment, n'est ce pas, la dernière Assemblée plénière du Conseil Régional Bourgogne-Franche-Comté!
Deux jours de débats (pas toujours de grande qualité mais on peut toujours espérer) où la question du budget sera centrale. Avant le vote final de la Loi de finances, notre Région votera tout de même son budget....
❓ Question reporting, je vous demande: est ce que vous préférez un reporting au fil de l'eau, avec des à coup, et sur 3-4j? Ou je garde tout sous le coude pour tout publier en deux fois? Vous me dites?
L’assemblée plénière de la Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté se tiendra à Dijon jeudi 11 et vendredi 12 décembre 2025. Retransmission à suivre en direct sur la chaîne YouTube.
En vrai, poster au fil de l'eau, en répondant parfois à vos questions, en étant sûre du nombre de caractères (quand j'ajoute des liens, des smileys) me semble plus simple que de tout écrire dans un doc, puis de poster ensuite à la chaîne à coups de 666 caractères.
Mais pour la lisibilité du sujet (parce que oui, il y a de gros suspenses quand même!!), je vois bien que je perds des lecteurices au fur et à mesure du fil....
Il faut savoir s'adapter à son public, n'est ce pas, et que la lecture soit agréable!!
Bref, je peux tenter une nouvelle formule, à voir ensuite ce qui est le plus simple!
En vrai, la place d'une gros doc, ça serait sur un article de blog, et pas en fil sur mastodon, non ? Perso j'aime bien les fils "au fil de l'eau" justement ! (oui, je fais partie des gens qui lisent silencieusement, mais qui lisent ! )
@antalpilipili Aha, une collègue qui regardait ce que j'écrivais pendant la dernière plénière, m'a demandé si la sortie d'un livre ne serait pas prévue en fin de mandat!!!
Un article de blog? Mais une idée pas bête du tout, même s'il faudrait que je creuse l'idée et la complémentarité des supports. Un blog pour qui, pour écrire quoi? Et avec quelle régularité?
Il n'y a pas à dire, faire de la politique, ça devient franchement un métier.... 😅
Le fil de l'eau, c'est long à rédiger, long à attendre, mais vraiment intéressant. Si vous rédigez un doc, vous pouvez le couper automatiquement avec le MastoThreader de @f_moncomble 😉 @antalpilipili

"We are entering an age of mass deception in which we routinely lie to each other. In this post-truth hellscape, anyone can create a convincing false narrative and misrepresent, not just the future, but the present. If it carries on like this, we will surely lose faith in photojournalism. How to hold power to account if they can plausibly deny the photos are real?"

Lies and deceit are still a reliable path to power in the USA
"It is impossible to understand the tech world’s antidemocratic fervor, and the precarity of this moment in history, without understanding their shared mindset. These are people who so ravenously crave power and control that they will say and do whatever it takes to acquire it."
To understand the tech mindset is to see that the ultimate goal is domination. Silicon Valley elites apply a different standard to themselves because, quite simply, they believe that they deserve a different set of rules and expectations.
Tory and Labour governments have allowed horrific treatment of migrant care workers. People who’ve left everything behind to come to the UK and do care work deserve much better conditions and wages. But instead, they’re getting debt, threats of violence, and racists calling for them to be deported. thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2025/…
A Trust Apocalypse: How AI Exploits Our Cognitive Decline
"Today the foundations of truth, and trust, are systematically eroded by a hybrid hurricane: artificial intelligence sophisticated enough to mimic reality, with human minds increasingly unable to discern the difference."
Beyond the challenge of technology advancing faster than regulation, AI's influence rests on dangerous synchronicity: Its sophistication collides with our cognitive deterioration.
@Gerry McGovern Not sure where you've been but I've been on this planet for 67 years now and I've observed no shortage of misinformation all my life, pre or post AI.

☕ & #threatintel: CISA has moved the due date for mitigating CVE-2025-55182 (Meta React Server Components Remote Code Execution Vulnerability) up two weeks. It was initially set for December 26, but it is now due on December 12. IIRC, this is the first time the due date has been modified.
In all honesty, if you haven't already patched this vulnerability, it's likely too late. As a reminder, patching does not boot attackers, so you should check for indicators of compromise.

Was rather surprised to this morning when watching The Daily Show to see that @pluralistic was interviewed, by a huge fan in Ronny Chieng. Well done! Enshittification is the perfect topic for that audience to learn.
Seriously, it is kind of long, but it's worth taking a little time to take it in.
We can reach each other. Our connection to each other is not something that can be taken away from us as long as we continue to find each other.
The more dehumanizing slop is pushed on us, the more we are asked to lose ourselves to the mediocrity machines, the more we can come to value what is real & true in each other's voices.
this is fucking mortifying. goes way deeper into (and essentially confirming) the idea that they are "cognitive hazards," from: baldurbjarnason.com/2025/trust… only half-way through so far; reading this is like blow after blow. somehow knowing what's coming every time but also being surprised every time.
this line got to it the most
I feel so stupid. I let it into my head and now I can't get it out. I look at my own thoughts and they look wrong. They look like errors.
as if they're some form of virus that burrowed its way into their thoughts. an absolutely awful idea that it cannot dispute. not even at the end yet and it never wants to touch the air around one of these things again
@0x7700e6 The EVIL of it all takes my breath away.
There is no way I could sit through somebody spewing that vile soul-wrecking slop in front of me, I'd have shouted at them and stormed right the fuck out.
done, this was probably the best piece of writing it's seen so far somehow conveying fury, but also victory and absolute dread, the same kind from seeing a "Failed to send message" after falling out with a best friend, somehow multiple times too
the most justification it has ever had for adding a 127.0.0.1 entry for all of them into /etc/hosts and also the URLs into a uBlock Origin filter for good measure, while also making it feel awful in so many different ways it did not even realise was possible
Thank you! I never could get that judgemental cat to purr, and I wished I hadn't used tweets since Twitter is dead, but I tried to do a grammar check on it and MSWord said there were 121 errors so I was like, fuck it, they get the raw version of me! Besides, Sightless Scribbles is my online soul. I write what I want, how I want, when I want, but thank you! I do fear this will become more common as the years pass though. I can't stop it. @0x7700e6 @artemis
and also somewhat inspiring it to start a blog or make some digital drawings usually doing anything beyond 2300 for it is a terrible idea, this was the exact opposite. thank you for posting this
this was an absolutely amazing read. i felt many emotions. i've had my works taken and put through AI slop machines before, and the levels of anger that i felt when people did that to me were enough to take a few years off my life from high blood pressure.
so to see a story that shows that we do not need to be complicit in the death of imagination, the destruction of brain function and the beat down on confidence if we do not want to is a breath of fresh air in a world that seems to be all "ai this, ai that"
not everything needs to be E for Everyone, smooth as yoghurt and neutral. that would be boring. thats what AI makes. we need a bit of grit to keep us entertained otherwise we'll just keep thinking "why the fuck am i reading this?"
