Ready to game

All I can say is watch out

Think firing Sandy was the right move. Appreciate her work but we won the title last year in spite of her coaching, not because of it IMO

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

It should go without saying, but I want to say it anyways— Sanctum testing house is my favorite place in the world particularly because of all the amazing and different neurodiversity and the kindness with which we all treat each other around that. Autism is not a fucking disease to be cured

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Holy shit Indy won game 1?!

As an example, this remains one of my favorite writings of all time as a reminder that you will get worse as you get better and that's okay, progress is not linear illiteracyhasdownsides.wordpress.com/2020/06/13/h...

Some key characteristics: Monumentality and Scale; Order, Uniformity, and Symmetry: Use of historical symbols; Heroic Realism and Idealized Bodies; Mass Spectacle and Pageantry; Simplified Color Palettes; Romantic Nationalism. Think: Kissing and hugging the flag. Military parades. MMA fights.

Both the allure of #fascism and why many find it repulsive are best understood by paying attention to the #aesthetics of fascism, used to convey authority, power, unity, and national identity. These aesthetics are used to inspire strong emotional responses and create mob mentality.

Check out the chyron -- they are shilling their merch store during a funeral. The sheer vulgarity of these petty-hucksters-gone-big is wild to me. Government by fashy used car salesmen, I swear to God. It will never ever not be fundamentally strange to me that their own base find this appealing.

I Love Modern

Liberty couldn't clutch it out guess I gotta win this PT

Fuck Cursed season, everyone extremely banged up Still feel like this team hasn't played more than 80% of the best basketball they can play This wasn't her fault but I still think they should fire Sandy Fuck Next year

Gotta say this is one of the hardest-played games I’ve ever watched

Are you fucking kidding me, immediately lose Leonie

As a rule of thumb, I suspect they can be useful for use cases which require Large Language Models (what it says on the tin) and not Large Knowledge Models.

My thoughts: LLMs are very useful for a limited range of use cases. They are deceptively marketed and only apparently useful in the majority of applications in which they are currently deployed. In many of these applications, they are apt to have catastrophic negative repercussions.

Holy shit way to go Indy

they’d really hate it if you stayed focused on helping people in need

i remain resolute in my confidence we will win and it will be because we stuck together. dooming and fatalism is not how any of us will get out of this mess. i’m saying this as a veteran climate journalist who is a trans woman. if i have more hope than you, think of what that says about your view

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

Limited players are cubing now!

Heading off to my favorite place-without-a-specific-place: Sanctum testing house ❤️ This PT has really challenged me as a player so far - I’ve been losing a lot. Hopefully learning some. I hope I never have to stop doing this. Will miss you NYC!

guy who thinks the key to defeating fascism is granting the fascists a position as legitimate inheritors of the American project

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

I propose the nicknames for all the digital cards should be “legally distinct [paper card name]”

Was at the game. Ooooof

My dad is a producer for one of the largest science TV shows in the US, NOVA. Due to the big cuts in public media funding, they're starting to do direct public fundraising! Consider giving if you can :) nova.donorsupport.co/page/AlwaysO...

‘No Way To Prevent This’ Says Only Fanbase Where This Happens Regularly

Excuse me miss, I’m trying to do laundry!?

to a pretty significant extent, the "culture of honest debate" which mainstream liberal pundits pretend to charlie kirk stood for is just a conspiracy against the public

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

D is just the objectively correct answer right?

this tendency within contemporary liberalism is intimately connected with its aversion to acknowledging past or present colonialism

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

Despite what Klein says, he’s not trying to understand the American right. Understanding them requires being honest about their beliefs, policies and (far!) higher propensity toward violence. Pretending this is all a polite philosophical disagreement is the opposite of fostering understanding.

So much of the crisis is the fact that liberals are unwilling to describe what's happening, because they're scared to say that their opponents are lying, are operating in bad faith, want evil or harmful policy, and don't share our basic goals about what society should look like
