"He's basically celebrating political violence" said tabloid writers

Local man Tom Carr has lost his job after he disgustingly said his name when asked by a barista while ordering coffee, instead of doing what he should have done which is refuse to give his name because he is too busy mourning Charlie Kirk.

“He wasn’t even crying when he ordered the coffee,” claimed one self-described ‘freedom of speech activist’ while doxing Carr and his family, “why does he not care about people’s families?”

A total of six pipes run up the sides and the middle of the fin stack

In context: Cooler Master just launched its latest coolers featuring its "3D heatpipe" technology. First unveiled in May during Computex 2025, the company's new Hyper 212 3DHP greatly improves heatsink efficiency by routing additional heatpipes through the center of the fin stack instead of just the edges.

Nvidia is also investing $5 billion into Intel

What just happened? Intel has received another massive investment from an unlikely source: Nvidia. Team Green is purchasing $5 billion in Intel common stock at $23.28 per share, part of a collaboration that will see the two companies jointly develop x86 system-on-chips – called Intel x86 RTX SoCs – that integrate Intel CPUs and Nvidia RTX GPU chiplets for a wide range of PCs. Intel will also be building custom x86 data center CPUs for Nvidia to integrate into its AI infrastructure platforms. [...]

While MechWarrior 5: Clans has given us the narrative experience that fans have been craving for decades, Mercenaries has quietly continued to be the best way to explore the Inner Sphere. Originally a sandbox that leveraged procedurally-generated systems to ensure a fresh experience with every drop, expansion after expansion has repeatedly added the missing story elements that players needed to situate themselves in the BattleTech timeline.

And with Shadow of Kerensky around the corner, BattleTech fans are finally going to experience a keystone event: the Clan Invasion. To get the inside scoop on what went into making Shadow of Kerensky, and to get a brief recap on how things went with MW5: Clans‘ latest DLC, I reached out to Narrative Director Chris Lowrey. [...]

In the wake of recent events, media outlets across Australia have taken a stand against political violence by turning a light to diddly squat about the 242 journalists killed in Palestine.

After the killing of Charlie Kirk, all branches of the Australian press were rightly angered over the cruel injustice of a young person having their life taken for seemingly political reasons, especially when the victim is a white man and the killer’s motives are free for rampant speculation.

But after a weekend of drawing attention to the shocking violence happening in the third world states of America, editors across the country realised there was no room left on any of their 15 websites for stories about the political violence and injustice against journalists in Palestine, to which they responded: “Oh well.” [...]

Disney celebrated the grand opening of its newest park attraction today, consisting of a roped off area in the middle of the Magic Kingdom for couples to scream at each other, park employees have reported.

“Honestly it’s wild we didn’t think of this sooner. Around 40% of our guests are couples who let their problems and generational trauma boil over into public screaming matches in front of the churro stand, so we just sectioned off that one spot where couples usually propose, threw up some ‘Monster’s Inc.’ cutouts, and named it the Screamatorium,” said park executive Shannon Walker. “We’ve ensured the line moves painfully slow in order to really let the acrimony build and explode over buying too many custom Minnie Mouse ears. It’s currently more popular than the Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain combined, so yeah I think we have ourselves a hit.”

Riders described the new attraction as a visceral, tour-de-force thrill. [...]

Hello otomos!
Sadly I won't be able to stream this week as I'm taking care of some automaton health related stuff! I'll be running around and traveling to different specialists and have to stay the nights. Hopefully the automaton mechanics can fix things!
(but please don't worry it's nothing too serious! I am okay!)

Sorry about that! I know streams have been sporadic but I really want to take care of these things and although I usually don't like talking about it, I wanted to be upfront!
I'll try being back by next tuesday! Thank you for waiting for me! Let's have lots of fun then!! 🤸

As questions continue to swirl regarding the motive behind last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell investigation Monday that suggests alleged gunman Tyler Robinson, 22, once had a transgender Uber driver. “In its thorough examination of the suspect’s activities in the years leading up the shooting, the Journal found evidence that in March 2021, Robinson rode for nearly 12 minutes in the backseat of a Nissan Sentra driven by a transgender woman,” veteran investigative journalist James Kovacs wrote in the article, which reports that Robinson appeared to have been satisfied with the experience, having given the driver a perfect five-star rating and a $2 tip. “While it could not be definitively determined whether Robinson was radicalized during the drive from his home to a nearby CVS location, it could not be ruled out [...]

In short:

The University of Technology Sydney says it needs to cut 400 jobs, roughly 10 per cent of the workforce, as part of a cost-cutting initiative to save $100 million.

After ABC News revealed high levels of psychological distress among staff facing the axe, UTS rolled out advice to support their wellbeing.

Staff say the health advice, which includes making time to wash delicates and brush their teeth, "de-legitimised" their concerns.

A 74-year-old woman lost over $60 000 from her retirement savings yesterday in a sophisticated, but in her situation, quite obvious scam, police say.

Gina Rossi was just preparing to go out and do her weekly grocery shopping when she received a call which, unbeknownst to her, was from a scam artist who had used AI to deepfake her 31-year-old son, Andrew’s voice. This was unnecessary, because Rossi has only spoken to her son twice in the past seven years, and probably would not recognize his voice anyway. [...]
