Nature did not design mankind to stare at screens indoors all day. We are made to struggle for the bounty of the earth. To follow the herds north and kill for our meat. To make love in cold nights as we ponder the stars. Luckily we rebelled against nature. That would suck. Screens are way better.

COACH SULLY: “Shift your eyes to this monstrosity… one year. One President. Donating his salary is just a headline. It doesn’t offset the BILLIONS Trump is accumulating elsewhere.” 💰

Man Who Helped Elect A Corrupt Fascist Bigoted Madman Would Like You To Know He Was Fooled But Would Like To Make Other Recommendations

I have nothing to say that matches the gravity of the situation. I just want peace and safety for everyone targeted by the insane whims of a madman.

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

If someone tries to sell you a robot that mines for gold, ask them why they aren't selling you gold. If Claude/Copilot/etc. were as good as human software engineers, they wouldn't sell you the agent. They would sell you the software it makes.

Wait, is it possible to actually like politicians?

COKE: is pepsi okay DR PEPPER: *removes surgical mask* we did everything we could

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Remarkable: Trump's planned migrant prison camps are hitting deep resistance in red areas. In Virginia's partly rural Hanover (+26 Trump) opposition is intense. GOP leaders in other states are opposed. Voters are rejecting mass deportations big time. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2060...

ok, this was was percolating in my head all evening so I had to diagram it

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

The right way to get into the Epstein files.

This is what I've been trying and failing to say about The Giving Tree for years.

I have been absolutely LOVING this meme of "5 classes you took at university." Everybody is picking the weirdest, most "useless" classes they took in the best way. Celebrating the joy of learning a thing just because it's interesting. So joyful at a time when I could really use some joy.

Five classes you took in college: - Ancient Epic - Medieval Cathedrals - Philosophy of Mind - Algorithms (taught by the secretary of the American Mathematical Society) - Interactive Narrative Systems

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." —MLK Jr.

I bring a sort of historical materialism to my analysis of the games industry that journalists looking for a simple "AI taking jobs" narrative don't really like.

(post credits scene) CAPTAIN AMERICA: But... how's a dead man going to help? NICK FURY: Of all the guys to ask that... ok. Come on in. HENRY KISSINGER: Never thought I'd be glad to know the world has so many super powers ha ha. But no more jokes. Support for Dr. Doom is on the rise in Southeast Asia

So anyway, xAI's response to rampant use of Grok to generate CSAM and sexual abuse is to... monetize it

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

The President of the United States of America took over another country without so much as talking to a member of congress.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

I must not cheer. Cheer is the mind-killer. Cheer is the little-death that brings festive obliteration. I will face cheer. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. Where the cheer has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

The oceans are nothing but snowman blood.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

At a time when Hollywood will do literally anything for easy money, how has nobody convinced Brian Henson to make more Muppet movies? They would be like the Disney live action remakes, except Millennials would watch them voluntarily.

I used to have a handful of fun little examples of easy ways to break language models. A common one was "How many times does the letter R appear in the word 'strawberry'?" That no longer works, but with a little pushing, you can still make it work: chatgpt.com/share/693f1f...

More ideas. We’re not going to run out of ideas but generative AI is a tool for people who don’t want to be involved in the step between idea and art. People whose own ideas will never evolve or become more complex because they don’t actually want to interact with or examine them.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

"YOU CANNOT COOK A DISH SO GOOD IT FORCES DINERS TO HAVE GOOD TABLE MANNERS" is such a nice way to express "You cannot fix social problems with techological solutions", communicated in such a fluent way. This is such a good post, I wanted to share it with you.

I have a sort of similar idea….
