Some humans must always be accountable for the computers. A computer cannot be held accountable.

Sometimes it hits me and genuinely makes me very sad that we, through our duly elected leadership, are rotten to our coldest friends, our neighbor and staunch ally. That it brings us a small measure of hardship through transitory economic turbulence is less than we deserve for it.

Random memory from elementary school in the 90s where we all had to watch this anti-bullying laserdisc where the kids all felt bad bc the kid they bullied got accidentally hit by a car and it was very “and that’s why you always leave a note!” Nobody bullied for a bit so must have gone through

seems like for a lot of people the path of least resistance is to let "the state of israel does bad things x y z" curdle into being just another user of the hard j, a sad example of one of the oldest extant bigotries, the sign of a weak mind without a firm grip on moral or principle, an asshole

recent claude-chat app update includes the reasoning chain in the response. i think it's great defense for those tempted to replace human contact w ai. "matched user's conversational tone." "encouraged user to go outside. suggested two nearby parks, one with duckies" "you're bumming me out man"

lmao no you didn't. come on

remember when sting released like ... a renaissance lute album

Gee, seems like the arrest of Meta exec Josh Felker for sexting a child and Meta’s history of consistently lax standards around child protection might be related

A&M may be generating most of the anti-academic freedom headlines, but this is a pretty bleak sign of how things are going at my old employer, too: www.statesman.com/news/educati...

I had a boss once who claimed his new headphone mic would cancel out a backpack blower and we had to be like dude it’s a fucking backpack blower; we can hear it

This is art, to me.

side-effect of ai adoption: you can tell which of your colleagues are just copy-pasting claude responses into slack and that is a bummer for me personally

Stasi shit

Yes

Greetings from Tallinn 🇪🇪 (ft. my kid’s hand). Love a tourist-choked old town square

My hot take is that sports gambling should only be serviced by local organized crime. There should be no legal, painless (other than the loss of your money) way to gamble from the comfort of your home.

hard for me to comprehend the level of delusion that would lead anyone to scoff at the idea that trump — a man who has wrecked every organization he has ever been part of — would also wreck the nation if given the chance to lead it a second time

I think Mamdani should arrest Netanyahu and make Trump intervene to override it or whatever.

Can *loudly* confirm.

I have eaten the diarrhea lettuce that was in the crisper and which you were probably saving for tacos forgive me it was delicious hang on gotta run

lmao I mean yeah I bet he did

you fucked up a perfectly good rock star is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

I am going to be 80, this asshole and most people who voted for him are going to be dead, and I’m still going to have the red-ass that we not once but fucking TWICE elected this motherfucker. I’m never going to forgive anyone for it either. I’m going to be the biggest crank alive about it.

[ilan wurman the shopkeeper] take this citizenship. But beware it comes with a terrible curse [me] that’s bad it comes by birthright that’s good but your parents are immigrants that’s bad they are white tho that’s good but they’re Finnish who are down the ladder of Nordics can I go now

i had no idea this would become so literal

my youtube algorithm is now feeding me stupid shorts about the armie hammer vigilante racist movie which is great i guess

this is just a laundry list of "why maga is correct" buttressed by assertions of fact not in evidence

And that is called paying the Danegeld/ But we've proved it again and again/ That once you have paid him the Danegeld/ You never get rid of the Dane

"Guys, you keep trying to replace the Gulf oil supply, and I'm telling you we can't do it. But we can choose to pretend we've recreated it in the aggregate."

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

This is just a Starbucks, sir, and I am not putting "Gilgamesh, Asclepius, and Jesus" on your cup...

Hot take: i think it’s fine to appoint graham’s sister. She’ll fill out the rest of the term and prevents awkwardness wrt picking among primary contestants. In a normal political world that is Fine.

In a sane world the findings here would be enough for a unanimous impeachment and conviction: the President attempted to steal nearly 2B from the US

claude plz calculate the red area of the graph and extrapolate oil shipments not shipped since the big straight line down 4 MONTHS AGO

So that’s +20% on the price of gulf oil immediately I guess. Inasmuch as it’s getting shipped. Which it isn’t.

RIP. What a storyteller. people.com/sam-neill-re...

My late grandparents lived in a specific area of rural Finland. They knew everybody and had a story about every bend in the road, every field, every little hut. They had a hookup for who made the best kutujuusto (a goat cheese), who smoked the best salmon, etc. I don't know my _next door neighbor_.

Yeah that’s not something you come back from

TIRED: head on a swivel WIRED: everything on a swivel

Ran 10 km on a very warm day for Helsinki, but a wonderfully cool summer day for me (around 25C/77F). This city ❤️

When It Happens the amount of dunking on elected Dems that will happen will be legendary. They know they will have to make the dunkable statement. They also know that it’s the correct and moral thing for a free people to dunk on them.

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.
