I am reading that New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin and I cannot overemphasize how much he is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like. I resent having to know who this man is. I wish to wipe him from my memory.

This is your regular reminder that it is not un-Jewish or anti-Israeli to oppose to war in Gaza and call out its crimes against civilians. You are taking a position shared by [checks notes] the former Prime Minister of Israel.

Me, looking at my work calendar: This is insane. No one can do this much work. I'm going to find the asshole that did this and give them a piece of my mind! Me, looking in the mirror: Oh no.

I got as far as Lowry insinuating that he could not have raped those women because he was also drunk at the time and that he is much better now because he is committed to sobriety before I threw something across the room: www.cjr.org/feature-2/we...

After months of reporting and research, I’m really excited and proud to publish this series on AI and energy. It’s a deep look at AI’s energy requirements, where that energy mix comes from, and its carbon debt. www.technologyreview.com/supertopic/a...

McKenzie Funk's biography of Hank Asher, "The Hank Show" is worth reading for people who are interested in the history of data fusion and the data broker industry, even if it is my opinion entirely too kind to its subject.
