Happy 1st of May! I want a quiet life of reasonable comfort in a system that sort of works some of the time and a community that at least tries to treat all people with dignity. Could the world please stop making this a radical stance

2026 Frank Sinatra: Stop spreading the news

The Midnight Society continues to be the absolute best

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas. I had to reply.

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command. The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.

There is a specific type of demoralizing fascism where people lose rights they had, in their lifetime, fought to get recognized. Not *just* losing rights, but seeing decades of hard effort dissolve. Reconstruction, Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute, Dobbs, the coming overturning of Obergefell, etc

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

Less than 24 hours in and we're humbled by the amazing support so far. This is WITHOUT sponsored ads or promoted giveaways. Why is this important to us? This shows us that we were right, that people WANT Comix Cleric, and that people want to be able to host their own comics their way. Thank you!

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

I am merely aiding the police in their inquiries, it is simply a way of passing the time for me, and the constables, they are gracious enough to accept my assistance, all unpaid, of course. If you, too, will humor me by joining the other guests in the parlor I would like to share some of my findings

Social Europe published my piece on the Finnish government’s debt brake proposal. The reform would cap public debt at 40% of GDP (now 88%). Until reaching this target, the debt ratio would need to fall by at least 1 p.p. per year. By weakening domestic demand, the reform would raise the debt ratio

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

So I'll be honest, i'd seen this article floating around, but hadn't clicked through because the headline doesn't actually give me reason to expect anything I haven't already said elsewhere (in some cases, almost 2 yrs ago). But the METR study at the heart of the article is honestly kind of crucial…
