Hey man I think the President being at the Great Gatsby Halloween Party hosted at his golf course resort the night before SNAP runs out is a bit too on the nose, go do another pass at this scene

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin. Here's the video of it running.

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

this makes me oddly happy

If you live in the USA, this is a good answer to frame and reuse for the next three years

Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.

Across 142 routes in Europe, trains are on average twice as expensive as flights On some routes, they are 26 times the price Low-cost airlines profit from unfair tax exemptions, but trains are burdened with VAT, energy taxes and high track fees Governments and the EU must stop rewarding polluters

For kicks (and to see if I would get something similarly insane), I asked Claude to do this, and I got a surprisingly bitchy rant about ampersands.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Both thread and replies are super interesting. The sample size is not huge, but the results seem to reinforce the idea that LLMs are fine for simple and repetitive tasks, but not when it gets complex

There's a cool special feature on the Nosferatu blu-ray where they detail Robert Eggers' famously meticulous research methods and there's even a thing where you can explore his actual Google search history

Community, not maximizing the audience, is the main reason why I like it here. "When critics argue that people should have stayed on ExTwitter to “engage across difference,” they’re ignoring a fundamental reality: Elon Musk controls the algorithm and actively throttles content he dislikes"
