ran into one of my favorite baristas again while shopping the other night, found out where they're working now, and have been checking it out regularly to try and catch their schedule since 😅 i lost track of where they were after a string of closures

the lil crossing flags at crosswalks dont make drivers yield so I propose every crosswalk have several mechs with a revolver cannon on one arm and a small caliber high rate of fire gatling on the other so pedestrians can use them to cross with impunity

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

This is the thing that almost bothers me the most. The most basic and obvious metrics don't fucking work, why on earth I should believe any of these companies are even a century away from AGI is beyond me

Regardless of how people feel about the decision to reallocate a proposed $2 million police budget increase to parks, can’t we just agree on what “defunding” means? The police budget will remain static. If language has meaning, that’s not what “defund” means.

What I find fascinating is how I’ve been terminally online since I was a teen, and me and my other friends came out of Covid mostly okay. My uncle, on the other hand, now believes that Hillary Clinton made AIDS airborne because of something he read on Facebook.

Gundam Fans watching Gquacks are clapping and gasping and leaning over you to say "That's Bulk Grumman!" and when you're like oh cool he just likes like some random old dude, is he good, they say "oh no, definitely not" and start listing all the war crimes he committed.

I honestly think a big turning point was Bitcoin, where.... I understood what Bitcoin was. I understood why it wasn't useful as a currency, I understood why it wasn't useful as an investment, I didn't buy Bitcoin. And I sat in rooms with people who didn't understand what it was, who bought it

I have written extensively about what AI is good for (mostly, automating low level stuff we are all glad to have automated) and what is bad about it (lots…) and this sums it up nicely.

Because now we get chronic conditions instead of DYING OUTRIGHT. This is actually fantastic! It means we get eczema and arthritis at 65 because we didn’t die in childbirth at 25!
