bolsanaro reportedly upset about going to prison because it’s taking him away from his true passion, going to the hospital

Posting these for posterity.

Anti-solar NIMBYs aren't beating the accusations of being pretty dim bulbs. "Extracting from the sky" is a good one

the only human character should be Natalie Portman as Janice's doppelganger

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

My wife: Did you read the article? Me: Why? It's the acoustic version of AI slop.

Me deleting a post

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Bugs Bunny playing the customer loudly haggleling down the price then swapping to the other side of the counter to play the clerk outraged at such a lowball offer.

At Huntington Park in San Francisco enjoying dim sum I bought at Chinatown and I see a group of Latino motorcyclists one of whom is wearing a San Diego Chargers T-shirt. They are blasting mariachi music and are followed politely by a waymo self driving car. This is what makes America great.

Creating a side character for my D&D campaign whose defining features are that he is a buff elf. His name is Buffelfo and his tragic backstory is that he was born just a regular elf and had to work really hard to get buff.

Are you fucking kidding me it’s like we are living in a cartoon

I'm happy to report that my bike was not stolen

I locked my bike up in front of SFMOMA. Is that foolish?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by critical theory, enraged hysterical ignorant, posting through the feeds at dawn hunting for a righteous meme

Republicans are like "oh, you want to reduce easily preventable death? That pales in comparison to my strategy: Submitting to Christ" and then don't submit to Christ.

okay. so you need this explained to you. okay. one, "capital" is not the reason we got donald trump. two, yes, certain wealthy men are allying with donald trump. but they're not doing it because of anything to do with climate change. they're doing it because their brains are cooked on status threat.

📢 Update for Gemini CLI 0.17.1: we’ve reverted useAlternateBuffer to false by default. We're taking some time to polish the exp (specifically copying and scroll responsiveness) before turning it back on. You can still enable it manually in /settings if you prefer! 👇 github.com/google-gemin...

cryptography is a mathematical system for transforming problems which aren't key-management problems into key-management problems

I just finished this today. Excellent book by @qntm.org I highly recommend it!

mamdani is also adding a lot of evidence for the 'trump is a tulpa with no inner reality' theory. he just obeys the highest charisma score in the room

they should make a kind of politics where I only have to vote once and never think about it again.

i think this is basically right, trump’s vision for america is an extractive multi-commodity export economy. a deliberate resource curse that requires minimal labor inputs and can be controlled via as few nodes as possible. bsky.app/profile/mugr...

My children are too young to watch Indiana Jones movies. But they are the perfect age for hearing me recount the entire plot to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

you can always judge a country by the quality of its trash. my next door neighbor put out a flat screen tv with a sign that says “works!” and it’s been untouched for three days. I can only imagine the kind of gang warfare it would have caused in early 90s russia

We're doing Woke 2 and MeThree

the largest number ever factored by Shor's algorithm is 35

Not rich enough to buy "Better than bullion" I am forced to buy "Precisely as good as bullion" instead.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

it's always this

We are the sons of the bros that were NOT before hoes

Today @marginalrev.blogsky.venki.dev asks "Has there been upward genetic drift for the British?" and links to a blog post by a racist kook who had to create his own journal because he couldn't get published in any of the reputable ones. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenPsych

Gemini 3 is now in Gemini CLI. 💻 Translate natural language to shell commands, analyze stack traces, or build a script from a single prompt, all within your terminal. Put it to the test with 5 things to try now → goo.gle/4qRnuYC #Gemini #CLI #DeveloperTools #AI

We are, all of us, fugitives from Poe's Law.

Although - YIKES with this part of the article. Self-driving cars following the speed limit is NOT A DOWNSIDE:

in conclusion,

The ultimate unlock... Gemini 3 + Gemini CLI has arrived 🚀🚀🚀 Now to avoid melting too many TPUs we're going to be iteratively rolling out the support (it's quite epic). See blog post for more details: developers.googleblog.com/en/5-things-... #GeminiCLI #Gemini3 #OSS #Gemini See it in action 👇

also like i am still hung up on "we're wolves not sheep" when the actual truth about humanity is we're the thing that domesticated both of them

Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

“No way to prevent this” says only language where this regularly happens

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

Theres a big story waiting to be written on how these powerful PR firms plant and kill stories in major publications and how our information environment is not-so-subtly skewed by which people have access to them and which don't

Wait uh if you watch through to the end of the clip THEY TRIED TO BUY TACOS FROM A SHOP WHERE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY KIDNAPPED A WORKER, WHO IS STILL DETAINED

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

Thinking about how Summers and Epstein both frequently manipulated the media into giving or withholding coverage when they wanted and how the same media mysteriously decided to wage a scorched earth jihad against Harvard's President Claudine Gay. It's a strange coincidence to ponder!

it didn't even really provide me with any new information but that one email between epstein and some other random rich elite saying "when will the madness end" about the metoo movement felt like a key unlocking my brain that will explain every unforced institutional capitulation we've seen
