Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.
holy shit
think tranq.
i just asked a very smart guy on the board of a couple of think tanks how to do it.
another one of those mornings where i read the news and remember that any random group of idiots can set up a think tank.
the ones that schools are getting are probably worse than that, and they've got a claimed planned lifetime of like 5 years. these are ~ as fast as a macpro m2 as long as you're only doing one thing at a time.
The MacBook neo seems like a great fleet machine for schools, certainly better than the crap chromebook that i see people getting stuck with.
“This time will be different, this time we’ll never admit we were wrong”
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
Replacing polling with prediction markets is going to be producing a lot more hilarity like this in this coming election cycle.
One of the things I love about living up here, even now with the gentrification, is that you could be dropping into some scenario right out of twin peaks at any time.
weirdly due to the great circle routing, only like 15-30 minutes longer.
this is one of the things I enjoy about living in the PNW -- www.wunderground.com/weather/us/w...

I always remember this post when I'm watching the olympics / playoffs.
my local supermarket just installed those e-paper based dynamic pricing tags and the price of some random individual unit things i buy just jumped by a dollar and some other ones are now a linear algebra problem to figure out how much they cost.
Gotta be honest, I never thought in my life I'd hear Praga Khan at the Olympics.
Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala
swan lake time on c-span?
my guess.
yes, until there's a market-based reason for them to do something else.

ash wednesday:
The question of our time is how do you artistically rebel — and win — against a totally flat cultural landscape? And before my readers, who I assume are all approximately 36 years old and very tired, say, “so what, who cares?” This does matter. I mean, just look around right now lol. You know things are bad when even OpenAI President Greg Brockman is posting stuff, like “Taste is a new core skill.” If people had taste, your company wouldn’t exist, Greg. But if everything is just attention now, and attention is completely commodified by algorithmic tech platforms, how can you push back against that? Well, I am slowly coming around to a theory on the new cool: You have to essentially pre-deplatform yourself. Culture right now is determined not by human teams of editors and producers picking and choosing what youth culture gets the spotlight, but, instead, by the unthinking algorithms that power YouTube and TikTok. Which means the only things that have the level of scarcity and danger required to be seen as cool by young people will, slowly, but surely, be whatever is unacceptable on those platforms.
A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it.

Finally we’re hitting the level of semantic nonsense that early cyberpunk novels promised. I am deeply amused.
getting shipped a package with a weight of 10lb and dimensions of 0"x0"x0". If I'm not heard from again, i've been taken out by a tiny black hole.
that's the difference between ultra-realistic video games and the ones that are essentially hamtasy based.
