The egg-shaped Reece's is the perfection of the form, providing the idea ratio of pb-to-choc, better than the classic cup. So I was excited about the egg-shaped Twix. However, it is an abomination, all wrong. A perversion of the natural union of cookie, caramel, and chocolate.

Federal spending is up under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

With AI, no university will need to trouble themselves with pesky human students ever again. Instead they’ll have AI students who are all sexy ladies with big juggs and 17 fingers. The men professors can dote on them and when they see a lady professor can shout “it’s over for you!”. It’s a paradise

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.

A thing that needs to be mentioned in every single article about Trump's tariffs is that it is supposed to be the job of CONGRESS to set tax rates. Trump is egregiously abusing an "emergency" authority to usurp the legislature's power over trade policy. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/trum...

The US is undergoing the worst self-inflicted destruction of health, education, and knowledge creation infrastructure since the great leap forward. We will all be substantially less educated, poorer, and sicker while millions will die from completely preventable causes. It's civilizational suicide.

One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag was so they could produce fascist content.

Attacking openAI's (and other LLM grifters) infrastructure is at this point "community self-defense" for the whole internet. They're literally a DOS attack funded by some of the richest and most evil men on the planet. drewdevault.com/2025/03/17/2...
