Generally try to stay anonymous, but I love history, philosophy, science fiction and fantasy, weird horror, playing and writing music, writing books, video games, and pinball. May have been a space rock on Twitter. Fan of most nerddoms.

Also, more importantly, I have a side theory that the people who would most help society are convinced they should never be anywhere near an elected office. Why our country is F'ed.

And this is why I asked for my donation back. You can't explain it because the truth sucks.

I did an unbelievable amount of stupid shit in my 20s and am patient with basically everyone but he lied about it explicitly and took way too long to get it covered.

This is stretching it word-wise but I'll allow it since you really like her for being awesome.

Ok. The 83 fucking points thing is real. Don't care how it was arrived at, that is just absurd. Yes, Chamberlain did better in the 60s, but every scrub now woulda been HOF then. Game better be generally available tomorrow to watch.

Excuse me, they can't tell you how many Rs are in strawberry as of the last time I read a news article, therefore I will very loudly tell you it's all slop and none of this matters, so people who take it seriously and generally have bad commitments can rule us. I am very smart and unique.

One of the weirdest things about Bluesky is how everyone wants it to beat X, but when people discuss sports here they get all these nonsense sportskiball posts if they're otherwise serious people. As if sports haven't been the effective lingua franca long before our country ever existed.

I do not believe those Bam numbers are real and I refuse to do anything to dispel my incorrect knowledge of it. It's so absurd I don't want to know what the explanation is.

Look not long into something or another cuz you become something or another or some such.

This post deserves to go viral. You made at least three people in Harlem who watched it and don't know what Bluesky is snort πŸ˜‚

I believe the probability he will try is over 50%. As to whether it is launched, likely not.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Yes, this application that was designed 30 years ago sucks. No, AI will not be able to help you with it. Nor will the internet. Most of the knowledge about it is 6 feet under. Also what's that quote...

They all got so used to Fox News that they genuinely can't accept this doesn't actually work in real life for long.

The ICE jail in Georgia will be the largest jail or prison in the US, by a substantial margin. It’s in a warehouse with no HVAC, medical, or sanitation facilities. ICE didn’t even contact the city, which says it doesn’t have enough electricity or sewage processing.

On casimir, no one really knows, but the amount of energy required to power the drive is bonkers compared to what would be possible for modifying things at such a macro level. Same with dark energy. It isn't to say things aren't real, but again, as with an engine, it's about scalability.

Alcubierre drive is like saying we could have a 10000 hp cheap car engine if we just didn't need to follow the realities of physics. Like, fun, the math is symmetric, but negative energy density is silly nonsense. πŸ˜†

I deal with at least two roy lees a week and they do not like me. I cheer people on for anything they are passionate about but when I discover they're con artists, I am genuinely a cruel, sardonic asshole. πŸ˜‚

He is. Arrogant as fuck but knows when to listen. I was expressing how they were leaving billions on the table ignoring SMBs because I had SMBs begging me for my shit I made on their stack. Most tech CEOs are just children.

I once got accidentally invited to a meeting with Satya as a nobody and told him everything he said was stupid. This would be the norm for me.

/He actually listened btw
//And made minor changes

But, yeah. Glad you're at Letta but the voice is the important part. People will figure that out eventually. You made good rules to allow it to emerge and I think for a decently long figure that will be what is actually most important. Once they get the MCP obsession solved it's about personality.

Why do something interesting when you can make $500 tho, or maybe get a seed round for $20 mil before someone figures you out.

On the upside, a really damned big company is giving your company a look as a vendor ATM, and it's because of Void and me mouthing off about it way back at that root. πŸ˜‚
