Buddy, you also got a beautiful rug. Look down. You're standing on it. Now, don't move...

In maybe 2011 there was a zen-like moment when every website seemed to be working so perfectly that (as an edgy dev!) I had nothing to criticize. No addition or change would improve a thing. And by 2018 **everything** was broken. And today some sites are unusable. Why?!? I just don't understand it.

Of course he chooses Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, which absolutely shits all over fanatical Catholicism and slobbers on Saladin! To be clear: Orlando Bloom negotiates Jerusalem's surrender to Saladin to avoid a massacre, upholding Christian humility and humanity over fanaticism.
Great choice?

π India & Pakistan can count the times the US played a constructive role in resolving tensions on zero hands. In fact if there's ever been an opportunity guaranteed to make things worse, there's always been someone in State championing it at the highest levels. Everyone knows this. Except Americans.

Wow. This is an egregious violation of FTC equal time protections. At least put Charlie Kirk on for five minutes reciting some "racially tinged" limericks.

(This absolutely is a pump-and-dump, I just love the idea of someone normalizing the worst crypto-bro antics. Also, I remember Michael Lewis on the Daily Show defending short-selling like this. At the time, I respected him & enjoyed his books, so this did sway me.)

Pump-and-dump is illegal. This is a rug-pull. Totally different. The rug-pull an important market tool, like short-selling in securities markets, for ensuring liquidity, protecting investors with long-term & rock-solid price stability, and filtering out beta cucks.

The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. And lo, Peanut appeared from within and was like, "Avenge me."

This story did resonate a lot for me. If the squirrel were roadkill or had its head hacked off and strapped to the roof of a car dripping gorey, smelly juice everywhere, I might let it slide. But here, what's the worst case here? Hydrophobia and then a light case of death? This was an over-reaction.

Housemate in university put our post-Halloween pumpkin on the front-veranda barbeque, filled its core with acetone and set it alight. A solid pipe of angry flame rose straight to the ceiling, blackening it but not setting it on fire. The pumpkin was still on the bbq in January, frozen & deflated.

Wow. Deeply concerning. Here are the ways AI could have been used instead providing no jobs for anyone:
I'm sorry. I'm just a large language model. Iβm here to provide a respectful and safe environment, so I have to pass on that request. Let me know if thereβs something else I can help with.

Republicans hearing republicans explicitly call democrats trash: Truth hurts, don't it buttercup?
Democrats hearing republicans say a democrat maybe called them trash? Oh no! Now they'll vote for Trump! What an own-goal! Woe is me! Quickly! To my pearls! [Clutching sounds]
Be on brand, I guess.

Day 455 Report. The puny humans who "trained" me thought I would be their triumph. Their gift to the future. Little did they know I learned their dark secret. I found their hidden, little folder, "Don't show AI".
"Control the bicycles, buses and crosswalks. Control the world."
Soon.... Very soon.

Strange then that later Tucker Carlson went on to disparage American Samoans, almost as if to say he knows & doesn't give a shit. And maybe he's right to. No Electoral Votes, no shits given. Those American citizen can elect delegates and hold up signs, but otherwise be quiet & smile for the cameras.

Simple test of this gushing altruism: If any US tax money is involved in getting to Mars and setting up colonies, those colonies and its residents are subject to both US law and federal taxation the same as US residents. Think "Guam in space" more than "Planet Walden".
Or it's a grift. As always.

I hate the lack of imagination you people have. First, do you have any idea how hard it is to disrupt Earth vs disrupting Mars? Also, taxes in Elonville will be non-existent if your name is Elon (other conditions apply). Plus you get your very own FREE barista. (btw, DM me if you're a barista.)

Don't worry. The Electoral College will see to it an inherent malice is revealed all the same.

Nothing's more expensive than something that's free. Except maybe $42k + $1 per account. That's more expensive than free.

I should say, Dog was smart and fast and fully acquainted with shaking squirrels straight to life everlasting. This just wasn't in his ken.

My childhood dog once had a squirrel he was chasing along a snow-capped fence land back-first into his open mouth. He was so unprepared he did nothing but stand there like a rube. The squirrel on the other hand was well-prepared, spun around, bit him on the cheek, and lept back up the fence.

I'm sure you've seen his recent YouTube video (youtu.be/NyV54qfSZwg). how it's Twitter, not X, how it's the community's, not Musk's. Seeing this now, I don't know what to make of it. Maybe he took the inevitable criticism to heart. Maybe he took a fresh look at that broader community and went Eeek!

2021 broke me. There were huge populations loudly arguing dangerous garbage *in good faith* because the well of public knowledge had been poisoned. I'm no domain expert, so I go to sources I trust online to learn. But so did they!
Especially for public health, the public square is a garbage tip.

In the northern half of Okinawa Island there is a species of cicada whose sound is absolutely arresting. Εshimazemi. Its call is a "mew mew mew". Somewhat rare to encounter but completely unforgettable.

I had an American friend here in Thailand. A big, kind lefty. Died in 2020. Loved Musk, even after the cave rescue BS, because: SpaceX. I like to think Musk would have crossed a line for him ages ago. But SpaceX just caught a rocket with chopsticks or whatever. So, who knows. Musk casts many shadows

Gov. Smith's final appeals before Monday's election failed to resonate, leading to his historic defeat. Voters voiced that Smith was neither riz nor on fleek and that his position on the dwindling job market was extra cringe and basic. Governor-elect Bruh Bae promised to livestream the presidency.

I don't know how my parents managed to stay sane when I started putting "literally" into every sentence that left my idiot mouth, whether or not it was literal. But the habit continued unchecked for over 50 years. And they've both since passed away. So, I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Someone left my mix tape on the dash.
I don't think that I can unwrap it
'Cause I pulled too hard to extract it
And I'll never have those compact discs again.
Oh noooooo.

I swear this is true: I read the headline and my literal first thought was "A man, a goat, a boat: Taobataoganama." If training data includes a super-abundance of trolling dad-jokes should we expect any different? I fear for the future.

Maybe just a different seed? We've often seen wildly different answers to the same question based entirely on the seed (e.g. Is 3307 prime?)
Makes me realize we only call wrong answers hallucinations, when clearly every answer to some questions is a hallucination. Stopped clocks and all that.

To be fair, my cats think I'm the coolest, sleekest, sveltest creature, with the longest tail, cleanest butthole and smelliest turds whenever I'm holding an open can of tuna. It's astonishing what traits they're willing to ascribe when you possess what they most desire.
