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.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language. It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Wake up, babe, a new awful gringo take about Mexico just dropped, and it has bonus antisemitism!

Me: "Hmm, let's see what's going on over at the NYT today." First thing I see: Brett Stephens: The Case for Overthrowing Maduro

Wowa eskaliert mal wieder.

“How do I make it about immigration?” “I dunno just go on Fox and say shit, they’ll believe it.”

Si yo fuera generación Z me deslindaría de esta basura nazi. Y no, no es hipérbole. En cualquier movimiento que se respete, si hay una persona con una playera que tiene la suástica nazi y alrededor hay una multitud que no le dice nada, entonces no hay un solo nazi: hay una multitud de nazis.

Tan fácil que era no alinearse con los pinches nazis, y 🤷🏻‍♂️ Por cierto, banda, tenemos que platicar del antisemitismo, porque un chingo de uds no saben distinguir entre la diáspora judía integrada en diferentes países y el estado de Israel. El antisemitismo de izquierda tampoco está chido.

Nmms, hice halušky con queso cotija, tocino y espinacas y quedó increíble. Sigo con la idea de si algún día me corran, voy a poner mi fonda checa-alemana y así me haré millonario.

Paul Krugman only reads blogs and that is why he, unlike everyone else who has been in punditry for decades, has never lost his mind

Auf’m Bahnhof Zoo 🤘🏻 Alter…!

Ganas de escuchar Nina Hagen a todo volumen y chelear. Lo siento mucho por los vecinos.

Deutsche sind bestimmt auch dabei. Und Amis. Was da rauskommt könnte die ganze westliche Gesellschaft auf den Kopf stellen.

QEPD She was an absolute powerhouse in the early days of this site, and I really learned a lot from her.

Tan fácil que es odiar a AMLO sin hacer el pridículo...

Die Schweizer wissen, wie man mit solchen Menschen umgeht 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Y ahora, porque nadie lo pidió, ahí les va una rola de música romántica en checo.

My favorite LA story: when I was just separated from my ex, I was in LA for work, went on an app, randomly connected with a guy whose profile specifically mentioned wanting a dinner partner to try restaurants which aren’t good for single diners. We had a great time, had great food, never hooked up.

OMG! I just got off the plane in Asheville and RFK Jr. Was boarding and someone passed by him and said “quack”

¡¿LULA?! Ya estuvo bueno para hoy

Also worth mentioning: the Voice of the Entrepreneurs is guilty of tax evasion and fraud, and wants to become president to avoid the consequences. Sound familiar?

I think it's important for people outside of Mexico to understand that the battle for leadership of the far right is between Ricky Martin's closeted tradcath exboyfriend and the Voice of the Entrepreneurs (he inherited his business empire from his dad) who is being cucked by his own son

nada de esto es reversible

Una rola más reciente del mismo grupo. El nombre de la rola es "Cuando nieva por la noche" Estoy obsesionado open.spotify.com/track/2PGC6Z...

Si van a ir, traigan bloqueador y/o sombrilla - yo subestimé el tiempo de espera, estuve bajo el solazo por casi 4 horas, y ahora su güero de confianza parece langosta.

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

I never understood how some people could read a text and understand the opposite of what it was saying, but if this is what they’re doing it absolutely explains it.

He venido a este evento. Hay muchísima gente, sobre todo old millennials y gen x para arriba, no veo muchos jóvenes, pero las filas son enormes. No es queja - me da gusto que la sociedad responda tan positivamente a grandes iniciativas de salud pública.

Sigo sin creer que la encontré después de tantos años. Tenía 16 años cuando la escuché en vivo en el festival. Todo lo que tenía que ver con los países poscomunistas nos fascinaba, todo era nuevo y desconocido. Resulta que el grupo sigue existiendo y hacen música única e increíble.

Anoche se me pegó una melodía que recordaba haber escuchado en un festival en Alemania en los 90s. Me acordé que era de un grupo checo, pero no recordaba el nombre. Resulta que todo el archivo del festival está en línea, así que busqué y encontré el grupo. Luego busqué su música y encontré la rola😃

Don’t even really think there is one beyond Senate Brain—Chuck and the rest of the Gang of Eight think that Republicans are their buds and wanted to throw them a line “for the good of the American people” and, more importantly, their small talk at the Capitol gym

Monday

Marziparacetamol for the rest of the world.

La pandemia rompió tantos cerebros! Acabo de tener la siguiente discusión: Yo: "voy a ponerme el refuerzo de covid" Amigx: "¿para qué? Yo no me enfermé de Covid hasta que me pusieron la vacuna, y fue horrible!" Yo: "No manches, entonces te hubiera dado peor si no te hubieras vacunado!" 1/

Developer: "This rail booking failed to process because the traveler didn't specify their gender" Me (the project manager): "Is it a mandatory data point for the provider, because I'm pretty sure it isn't..." Developer: "Well, no, but..." Me: THEN WHY DID WE MAKE IT MANDATORY TO GENERATE THE INVOICE

A thing I never get tired of explaining to visitors surprised by the evening lines at churrerías in CDMX, is that it’s perfectly normal and acceptable to have churros y chocolate for dinner, especially if you had a big lunch.

Schicksalstag. Was kommt jetzt auf uns zu?

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Update: en la UMF 28 Del Valle, no hay nada.

¿Alguien sabe cómo va la disponibilidad de vacunas de influenza y covid en el IMSS en la CDMX? Anteriormente lo hubiera checado en Twitter/X, pero ya no tengo cuenta.

Abriendo correos en viernes, y lo primero que veo es que la única llamada que tenía para hoy se reagendó para el lunes 😎. Voy por otro café

So, BakeryScan but make it phrenology? And this was worth publishing because…?

Sepan que cada vez que alguien cita a la RAE como algo más que un club de viejos ridículos y merecedores de escarnio, muere un perrito atropellado por una 4x4. Lo siento, yo no hago las reglas.

*cautiously opens FB to see the post-Mamdani-victory crash outs* I honestly have no idea who they’re talking about - bears no resemblance to the guy giving the speech.

German bread dumplings: Cut stale bread into cubes, don’t lose the crumbs. Boil half the quantity of milk with seasonings and some butter (e.g. for 250g bread 125ml milk). Pour the boiling milk over the bread, stir it through, cover and let it sit for 30 minutes. 1/
