An Associated Press investigation reveals that President Trump's administration has detained dozens of parents and spouses of active-duty U.
Sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, your government is starving you, arresting your families into concentration camps, having you participate in an unjust war to kill innocent children.

Our technology industry has failed to provide a coherent argument for its own existence on the national stage. If this is not solved, 2028 will become a referendum on caging, killing, and looting the technology industry over the water and power libels. The popular image of the AI boom is not uncertain. Recent polling suggests the average American understands AI is a thing that wastes water, skyrockets power costs, and scams their grandparents in exchange for exposing children to deviant sexual content, sports gambling, and all other manner of sin. If the best answer to why we should not imprison technology executives, burn down data centers, and kill the american technology sector is “so we can build better chatbots for your sports betting,” voters will vote to do so. In a zero-sum world, voters do not think long term; they envy, and then they loot. We do not loot the sewage system or the power grid because we understand they are the bulwarks against chaos. We accept their costs because they hold back chaos. Does the median voter believe the same to be true about technology? Technology is the only mechanism we have for escaping the Malthusian trap. But because we have been too cowardly to articulate this, because we have substituted “rationalism” and “AGI” for a coherent theology of Progress, the state sees the industry as only a parasite to be consumed. If we cannot articulate why innovation is a moral imperative, we can expect the entire technology industry to end up like Boston. First taxed, then looted, then exhausted. And we’ll be stuck wondering where it all went.
There was a riff I was working on earlier that the thing with LLMs is that, it doesn't really have what we used to call in the day a "killer app", something consumer-facing that really makes the platform irreplaceable. the chatbots are neat toys but I think a lot of VC-adjacent people are deluding themselves about how even people who use them feel about them, much less everyone else. It's a toy, not really more than that. If you got a Killer App, something that people really felt they couldn't do without, you might be able to convince the Hogs to let you tile the world with datacenters.
When DAMION came online in the early 2000s, most Americans with internet at home still connected through a screeching dial-up modem, and the iPhone was still years away. AOL shut down its dial-up service last fall, by which point about one American household in a thousand still used it. DAMION remains in daily use by every District Attorney in Massachusetts.
i thought this post was lost forever but i finally found a screenshot on discord
what if birds fly
i think we are long overdue for a game that does the reverse of 90s first person shooters and actively makes fun of the player for picking the hard difficulty
heres kinda what i mean

A: you really dont fucking get it, do you, you selfish asshole: real ppl are literally dying in excruciating agony!! do you need me to draw a picture for you? its as bad as it gets, smth you perhaps dont appreciate while insulated in yr comfortable little bubble. this isnt some sort of abstract debate club proposition except for you, for them its real life. now get with the palm slices, chop chop!
B: oh ok
obviously it isn't ideal when people don't want to play your intellectual game of choice with you but yk. we mustn't be running sobbing to the teacher because the other kids won't play with us

I am typical middlebrow Amerifat. Christopher Nolan or Yorgos Lanthimos put out movie, I buy ticket.
bitches have a complicated relationship with me for my nuanced takes that account for multiple shades of grey
actually that's not true. bitches have a complicated relationship with me because of a combination of multiple different factors, with no singular factor being chief among them

I have been more diligent about following financial and economic news instead of just front page political stuff this year.
Several months later this is still mostly resulting in a daily ritual of me reading about the stock market and oil prices, then tabbing over to see how the Straight of Hormuz is doing, and finally cocking my head as a large question mark appears in the air above me.
#part of it is just there were a lot more break-glass-in-case-of-emergency options available than people expected
yeah we're basically burning through stockpiles. which is what stockpiles are for, i suppose. good job technocratic governance? bad in the sense that it enables this, good in the sense that everything didn't immediately go to shit. but uh. well i hope nothing else bad happens. there's a saying in chess, it's never the first blunder that kills you
genuine all-timer to me
For all my fellow oversharers out there.
As a chronic people-pleaser, this is my advice for success.
Offer as little as possible. Be terse. Get rid of all those exclamation marks and tidbits about why you want to take a sick day. State your needs clearly and concisely without reason. Start saying “No, I’m unable.” more often. Say Thank You only when the other party deserves it.
I asked Claude to draw a self-portrait and this is what it gave me.
So I think it’s in Iran’s interest to keep the Strait closed until after the US midterms, to make sure Trump pays a real political cost.

It is embarrassing to populate one of my handful of breaks from silence with fandom discourse, and doubly so for a fandom where i have zero investment in the source work. But the opportunity to alienate wide and usually discordant swathes of the political spectrum on here in the name of "principle" is too tempting!
I would hazard a guess that the rsn many fans "mistake" magneto for a malcolm x standin when he is "actually" a menachem begin stand-in is that there are many salient parallels btwn malcolm x and the noi on the one hand and menachem begin and irgun on the other! Again, i have no special domain expertise here, but when ppl tut-tut the historical naivete of fans who would "confuse" the (implicitly: righteous) historical spirit of malcolm x with the (explicitly: dastardly) historical spirit of begin, my impulse is to say that the point being missed by the tutters is the more important one
Irgun was a band of religious zealots who preached and practised violence as a means of securing what they viewed as their god-given right to territory in which to establish their desired apartheid ethnostate as gods favoured race. The noi, with malcolm x as their charismatic frontman, was a band of religious zealots who preached (less so practised) violence as a means of securing what they viewed as their god-given right to territory in which to establish their desired apartheid ethnostate as gods favoured race. Both bodies drew on a contrived natl mythology and newfangled set of cultural symbols to distinguish themselves both from members of other, less exalted races and from quisling co-racials unwilling to commit in full to their preferred versions of their respective ethnonationalist projects. Oh, yeah, and both were willing in the name of their "subaltern" racist projects to court the support of gentile white supremacists, who enjoyed w them an apparent natural alignment of interests. Big surprise that they would be represented similarly in literary metaphor, "real" or "imagined"!!
The major points of disanalogy here are that the noi was doomed to failure and its former spokesman eventually thought better of lending his talents and credence to a racist ufo cult, an act of considerable integrity for which he in great likelihood paid with his life. But that act of apostasy was also the turning point away from exactly the kind of racialist vitriol for which he and his quasi-representative magneto get praised as brave hard-hitting rebels against the Man. And conditioning yr support for a project (as opposed to its clear analogues) on its impractibility and the wavering devotion of its leading lights seems like a recipe for an unpleasantly quixotic approach to the world in general. Cheer reflexively for the underdogs and youll wind up both perennially disappointed and falling for dogs who have been relegated to the sidelines for excellent rsns
