Many pagans' understanding of magic turns out sounding exactly like Christianity if you just substitute "Nature" with "God". "You shouldn't subvert Nature's laws and intents" is not the good argument you think it is.

Only 40 pages in and I'm already crying, laughing, and learning. This just came out a few weeks ago "Chapel Perilous. The Life and thought crimes of Robert Anton Wilson". RAW's work literally saved my life. I am so pleased that Gabriel Kennedy wrote this incredible biography for him.

Admittedly I am still in disbelief that Gemini has improved to this degree. I suspect it was swapped with a whole new model for these amazing benchmarks to be real. I will have another gander. In the meantime, congrats to the Deepmind team. Better late than never.

It's so much easier to be well behaved when I relinquish my need to be clever. Staying firmly in Brat mode no matter how loud those Goblins get. Gonna catch up on my reading and dance the night away instead of engaging with those committed to misunderstanding.

No we're not. Clean up your own mess please and thank you. My people are crazy. We've only been quiet because of the deep freeze. Keep it up and we will steal your army and seduce your women. #killemwithkindness

The war never ended; we just covered it in confetti and bureaucracy, then convinced ourselves that our anxieties were irrational.

It’s crazy in retrospect how confident and hopeful my generation (millennials) were fifteen years ago. We were making ground-breaking music. We were going to end racism forever. The internet was making everyone kinder and smarter. We had such dreams of a better world.

Never, ever, ever, ever, deploy on a Friday. That's a next week problem. Always. Friday's are for review and getting everything prepped for next week. Do not anger the Tech Deities. Do not tempt the Imps.

Currently re-reading the chapter I wrote for an edited volume two years ago, based on my PhD, and I don't hate it! Inevitably, my research has moved on in many places since but it's a decent outline of the core context. Also a v cool edited volume, check it out: www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

I've been purposely waking up earlier for productivity and mental health reasons, but somehow overshooting; to waking up at 3am for the last 3 days. Great way to catch up on laundry and reading I suppose.

If you like #AI tech, I want to share an interesting interview with a researcher, Laura Ruis, about LLM/AI/Agents reasoning and other things I enjoyed the conversation because the tone was not some baseless certainty/judgment, but understanding in progress, curiosity, and thoughtful considerations

I stopped watching Pro wrestling when Mankind retired. Everything I've learned about Pro wrestling since; has taught me that was the right decision.

Protests/mass street demos are a tactic (and an important one) but are far from the only one and not the best suited for every situation. Honestly, if part of what's happening is movements/groups widening their view of how to organize and fight that's not a bad thing.
