Come on, Dems, be honest. Deep down, isn't there at least a tiny seedling-sized trace of testosterone left in your brain that looks at this MOBILE SUIT video and thinks: "okay, yeah, that's kind of awesome" Be honest...

driving across LA during rush hour is a simple and effective method to understand what the cyberpunk books call “cyber psychosis” in a real and visceral sense

This was found in the batch of Epstein files the DOJ released today.

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

“The thing that’s been the most difficult so far is that, in all of our interactions with the government, they’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them.”

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Is the MTA making merch with the F M Swap icon cause they should be

AI companies tout their spending on data centers but are quieter about training data, where their spending is also surging. One reason may be that increased spending on task-specific data looks more like the trajectory of a normal technology than imminent AGI. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

This is incredible (good news too): “After a 40% fall in 2024 in battery equipment costs, it’s clear we’re on track for another major fall in 2025…The economics for batteries are unrecognizable, & the industry is only just getting to grips with this new paradigm” www.pv-magazine.com/2025/12/12/b...

Because the Constitution is clear: if you were born in America, you’re American.

From day one of Trump’s presidency, this administration has used the excuse of the Southern border to try to end immigration entirely. This attack on birthright citizenship is brazen and lawless. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

So I kitbashed the GFred with the best part of the Police zaku, it's thighs.

a fun thing from a class I'm guest teaching tomorrow: which of these will turn out OK for you, and which will be a disaster? (they're all from a single Chinese city between 2010 and 2022)

TIL the Moriori eschewed warfare and instead engaged in spiritual duels to settle disputes, which in practice meant walking through your enemy's village and reciting copypastas at him. This worked tremendously well for the Moriori until the Maori chartered a ship and annihilated them with musketry.

Everyone shut thefuck up in that they discovered ribose and, for the first time in any extraterrestrialsample, glucose on Bennu. This adds to earlier this yr 14 of the 20 amino acids thatlife on Earth uses to make proteinsand all five nucleobases that lifeon Earth uses www.nasa.gov/missions/osi...

defunctland videos are great because everyone in charge of disneyland for the past half century have been trying to carry out what they think walt would’ve wanted like they’re the patriots in MGS trying to carry out the boss’s will. coincidentally both involve giant robot dinosaurs

NEW: The DOJ tells Judge James Boasberg that Kristi Noem made the decision that flights that had departed should continue on to El Salvador, in contravention of the court’s orders.

All this talk about strengthening the atrophy in the shipbuilding industrial followed by cancelation of major shipbuilding programs that are sustaining whatever dwindling number of shipyards the US has left.

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone. Killing IMLS could have killed ILL. This is great news. 📚

New evidence that twin estimates of heritability should be adjusted downward by about half

Task one was hard, but users can correct the labels for you. Task two was impossible because there was no ground truth in the data. That hasn't changed. (We killed that prototype and built one that takes your instagram feeds and gives you a bunch of labels for what you take photos of, instead.)

In 2015 at Fast Forward Labs we tried to build a "take a photo and track calories" app as a demo for image object recognition. There are two main machine learning tasks here, one is photo->food labels, and two is food labels->calorie/macro estimates.

Love to watch videos complaining about how Trader Joe's parking lots don't have enough spaces and go "wait your Trader Joe's has a parking lot?" Anyway it's real High Cost of Free Parking vibes because this is a significant cost saving measure apparently

poses for the MG sinanju! so sinanju is usually like super shiny, like the RG has plastic that is made shinier than normal on purpose but when I built this kit I was really into the idea of making the suit matte but the gold trim extra super metallic and shiny and I really like how it came out!

the first trans member of congress got nearly the entire house democratic caucus to sign onto a letter saying misgendering trans people is not only wrong but violates the rules of that chamber of congress you don’t see that happen in most countries tbh

NEW: I just voted to release the Epstein files and now I’m joining @slotkin.senate.gov in calling to end the presidential pardon.  For too long, the president has been abusing this power, and now he could use it to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. It’s time to end the presidential pardon.
