I loved this show

Hallucinations are just creativity we haven’t learned to bill for yet

I think I figured out the solution to all of our problems: Step 1: invent a time machine Step 2: prevent ad tech Step 3: unionize the time machine

People are often more comfortable considering linear scenarios rather than network dynamics. In addition to trafficking people, Epstein trafficked information and connections and appears to have done so among transnational network.

Sometimes I wish there were ads here, if only for moments like this one

the POTUS should be anonymous and you only get a new POTUS if you can figure out who they are, at which point the person who got it correct becomes the new POTUS and the old POTUS goes straight to jail for the rest of their lives

Ugh, they’re doing another Olympics again? The sports fandom is out of control

repent, Harlequin! said the ticktock man

I bet it would be be really interesting to do a back to back play-through of Police Quest: Open Season and Disco Elysium

Sybok: Share your pain. Share your pain with me – and gain strength from the sharing. Me: <sends social media screenshots> Sybok: Okay please stop now

Any system that makes intervention illegitimate will eventually make failure irreversible.

Abstraction without humility is just cosplay

Love is also just chemicals, art is just pattern recognition, belief is just updating priors, and when pizza's on a bagel you can have pizza any time.

brb documenting techniques for breaking causal narration

Avoiding legible causality is really the ur-antipattern of modern American society. I got a case number which was escalated to the local office.

Omission of truth, or at least details, can seem like care.

Knowledge handling is online-first, offline-lagging, which is why it also feels uncanny. Knowledge is treated like a hazardous material. Not "is it true" but actually, who can know it, what contexts are permissible, with what disclaimers, and at what emotional temperature?

Opsec metastasizing into epistemology is very 2026

Folks: This is important. SHEAR—the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic (a GREAT organization)—is tracking examples of the regime erasing history. More at the link below.

Public utilities should not be so large they encompass fourteen states that aren't even contiguous, and the outage report map drops you into a google maps view of NORTH AMERICA

In the not-too-distant future, RiffTrax is making four new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000! Support us on Kickstarter: rifftraxmakesmst3k.com #RiffTraxMakesMST3K @mst3kofficial.bsky.social

Notepad++ "Chinese-linked cyberespionage group with a long history hijacked the update process for the popular code editing platform Notepad++ to deliver a custom backdoor and other malware."

I realized that maybe this was kind of my beat, so I wrote about it.

Welcome to the resistance... Ammon Bundy??

The funny thing is, if agent counts grow 10x again (plausible in weeks), or if groups start coordinating off-platform tasks, the waste curve goes vertical. No villain, just emergent stupidity from perfect moral hazard. Which is kind of the perfect summary of the future we’re building.

Surprised no one’s scripted up a tool named grepstein yet

MCU stands for McGruff Cinematic Universe now, you’re welcome

Counter-point: it would be very, very funny.

The inevitable discourse when someone does the napkin math on what molt/moltbook consumes is going to be very funny when it happens, especially depending on the kind of model and rigor they apply (or don't, as the case may be), as well as who actually surfaces it first.

I think it's neat that people have created a high-tech waste heat generator that occasionally outputs a lobster emoji.

It's never not DNS, I swear to gojira

If you'll pardon the crudity, Baudrillard must be shooting ropes in the afterlife right now over moltbook

DS9 not having a Jellico arc was a real missed opportunity

Seems most appropriate since MST3K was born in #Minnesota

pip install comedy

So they’re trying to hire apex outliers (big five deals, 50k+ sales), at $40/hr (basically adjunct pay with better vibes), to “make Grok funny”. Which isn’t even going to stick. It’s category errors all the way down

X is hiring a creative writing specialist at $40 an hour to make Grok better at writing and a true LOL at the qualifications

I still actually haven't set it up, but I've got it conceptually locked down at MVP. Feel like I should probably have a demo before I bother with sharing it, though, lol

WAYNE'S WORLD, WAYNE'S WORLD, PARTY TIME, EXCELLENT

Unsafe at Any Inference

I think if you really had to pin me down to how I view this stuff, you're better off going with a Ralph Nader comparison instead of the safetyists (or 'antis'). The current safety paradigm is mostly busy building fig leaves, more liability laundering like the industry philosophers.

We already cede agency, this is just flaunting it.

this post lives...rent free? in my head? whenever i hedge with ellipses and question marks now
