Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.
When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.
He then got detained by Saudi guards.
No, but I would love to read it. I’m guessing it’s a step on from Our Bodies, Ourselves, an equally lifesaving publication when I was younger.

The cover of Puppet Banquet, a horror novel by Valkyrie Loughcrewe.
Body horror isn’t normally my thing, but Puppet’s Banquet is so much more than that. In many ways it’s an extraordinary, weird, prose poem that the reader has to dig their way out of. By Valkyrie Loughcrewe from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social
A tuatara. A brown reptile that looks like a lizard but that was around in the Jurassic period 200 million years ago.
NZ, you will always be my home but you’re hard to leave. On arrival: Cyclone, landslide, landslide. Attempting to leave: flood, cabin crew strike, storm. Flights back to the UK rebooked (again) for tomorrow.
Anyway, here’s tuatara, a species 200 million years old and predating all modern lizards.

Guys, we’re making AI CEOs sad 😕 From the latest episode of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000, with @emilymbender.bsky.social. From Episode 71: A Bad Case of Hype-itis.

And employees went ‘Sure, Boss. Great plan,’ while desperately applying for new jobs…
Middle managers are frequently less intelligent than the people they ‘manage’. If your boss is already using ChatGPT for emails, ‘strategic’ plans and, most recently, medical advice, how long will it take them to decide that firing you would be a great commercial decision? #AIHate
The headline's great, but the article is beyond impressive for how much ground they cover with such fidelity in just a few words.
OpenClaw (aka Moltbot) may have gone completely viral, but it is also a disaster waiting to happen.
A PSA for why you should steer clear.

In response to Stephen Miller's vile assertion that the US has the right to seize Greenland because “Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny government and a tiny military" and can't defend it, Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov said this: "I hope he's kept away from young women, because that's the mentality of a rapist. You can't defend yourself, so I'm going to take you. That's basically what he's saying."
Misogyny is a global issue with geopolitical underpinnings and it affects all of us.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
