You are dunking on this post because of some shit you believe about minds. I am dunking on this post because I believe methodological credulity wrt MRIs has caused them to have a net negative impact on our understanding of cognition. We are not the same.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

It’s sort of inevitable that functional interfaces will replaced by marketing placements.

IMHO it’s largely a mistake for Dems to deploy police to protect ICE. There’s obviously a risk that a lot of police would defect and whatnot, but they need to get the goons in order at a local level. It would be ironic if fratricide corrected the mistake.

Change in Headline

I do also think that in the US protests are *organized* as an outlet rather than a genuine campaign for change.

I feel like Stan is caught in a hard place where its original selling point was “fast BUGS” but gradually it became clear that it was a huge methodological liability to write your own models. As an infrastructure project it just doesn’t have the juice vs projects in AI‘s draft.

I thought this was posted by “random videos with bread” and I’m a little wistful for that moment honestly.

This is what I’ve been up to during my baby’s nap time :)

Everyone is working so hard to explain away the rot… his whole program from years ago was a technocratic vision for liberalism that could avoid entanglement w/ social welfare. Now he’s come finally to a moment where it’s clear that abundance is orthogonal to liberalism and he’s made a choice.

These things require time and space to do. It must not be given.

Speaking as a ( Danish ) vet: "We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement." Any soldier worth their salt instantly regocnizes this as a red flag that your commanding officer is setting you up to do shit that will haunt you in your dreams for the rest of your life.

I dunno. I don’t see the democrats coalescing.

Tbh I think it’s more than enough if you count people who would do it for a $50k bonus. Russia has absorbed somewhere on the order of a million casualties in Ukraine almost entirely off a similar scheme (although mostly targeted at minorities).

A lot of reading the room going on but not on stage.

Donald Trump’s decision to invade Portland on the basis of video from five years ago raises new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state.

In Yoshi's Island, a "tongue overflow" glitch exists whereby Yoshi's tongue is able to fly away and begin gaining infinite length, overwriting the game's memory. The tongue-based corruption can have any number of effects, including skipping to the credits and ending the game.

They are going to figure out how to control juries eventually, but it’s notable how they have been much more resilient than other constitutionally provided for entities.

This is known as the unitary executive.

Governors need to start ordering the arrest of ICE officers who break state law

Is that a first? I had seen near misses…

More public transportation so you can get a few beers with the fellas

I remember being in walmart sometime in the late 90s and seeing a 24/48? port Ethernet switch tacked vertically on a column by the POS and it blew up my entire worldview. The casual employment of more technology than id ever seen in person…

the hand that rocks the medbed is the hand that rules the world

Not looking super confident…

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

Even here, I think this is too generous. He’s fully aware of what “convincing people” entails. The problem is that he can say, comfortably, to Coates’ face that it’s “doing politics” when the politics in question are… rejecting Coate’s humanity.

the jukes…

yes

CJ Cherryh is absurdly good and underrated these days.

pondering was kinda the starting point… this is making the case. He sees a moment to align the center with his values and is taking it.

I am obsessed with this guy on Instagram who makes ice cream using different kinds of trees, then he also makes a spoon and bowl out of the same kind of wood, and the whole time he teaches us about that specific kind of tree?? It’s so cool?? x: www.instagram.com/reel/DPHvnfR...

Julius Caesar’s threat to cross the rubicon is unlawful. Here’s a thought. How about he focuses on making entrail reading and other omen practices accessible and affordable for every day working class Romans?

It’s kind of more efficient than people going on Fox to say stuff on TV that they want him to believe. Make a video of him saying what you want directly…

Fukuyamaists…trust the plan.

I was really struck by the parallels with Sunstein being fine with… anyone? as long as they opposed central planning. There’s a shared deep unease with the sort of change which seems logically necessary. So there must be a nonintuitive alternative to escape into.

Good job, mate. Top notch. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Even prior to this… they were just so sore about having to give up Vietnam for the same perceived reasons. Add to that a decade of resentment wrt restraint under HW + Clinton and…

Good morning and happy frodo friday

I didn't know a bear could be that shape

Put the fucking cameras down and HELP HER! OMG!

This requires time and space to do. That must be denied.

Kind of a chill place to hang with skeletons…

RYAN FITZGERALD GOING FULL KEANU REEVES MY GOODNESS

I hope it finds a good home…

[new Isaac Chotiner interview]

The whole pack of Rumsfeld, Cheney etc devoted their later careers to creating the conditions that would insulate another Nixon. It’s so… odd. They in some ways knew of his incapacity and likely of Reagan’s… but it did nothing to their resolve.

I wonder how much if this is a consequence of paywalling science… pulling papers from z library or whatever means sacrificing metadata.
