We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care. I wrote about it: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

Lots to comment on here, which better minds than me already doing. I'll just wonder who thought "Humphrey" was a good name for a set of government AI tools?

Lot of exposition in the new M:I before it cuts to the chase. Enjoyed it though.

Looking forward to all the Star Wars movies being remade so they build on Andor better. Bix and B2EMO instead of Luke and R2D2. No Jedis.

One of my favorite things in the TTRPG community is @wyrdscience.bsky.social I’m a sucker for a great magazine and Wyrd Science knocks it out of the park with every issue. Go support a magazine that’s highlighting the best things TTRPGs have to offer shop.wyrd.science

The resistance to Bevan and Attlee setting up the NHS and expanding the welfare state was considerable especially from the rich, the media and even doctors. But they said 'Fuck it', set it up anyway, and although they lost the next election, guess what? We had free healthcare for 60+ years.

What I learned from Andor is that the Death Star was probably coal-fired. Palpatine's energy policy focused on propping up legacy interests.

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

Agentic AI would just bolster existing platform and marketplace monopolies. That's who would really benefit.

I don't mind paying more taxes because people less well off than me can't. But I do object to paying more because billionaires and corporations won't.

Two policy positions that are consistently popular with voters: Net Zero and a closer relationship with the EU. You'd think it was the exact opposite if you only paid attention to the right-wing press. Labour needs to deliver what the nation voted for, not try to placate maniacs and fanatics.

High volume Discord servers (like Slack) are unusable unless you are looking at them all the time. Or are a fan of drive-by posting.
