Still playing Baldur's Gate 3 and gotta be said, this thing probably has the best character development of any game I've ever played, and not sure it's close either. Phenomenal work.

Halt US science. We can't stop the world from doing science. We can only stop ourselves from doing science. We're making a conscious choice to make China the world's leading research nation. Congratulations to China on their ascendancy I guess.

this stuff makes perfect sense when you understand that these people have a slaveholder’s ideology and believe that liberty means the freedom to dominate others

A thing to understand here is that Wired + Teen Vogue is Condé Nast — this is the Newhouse family being basically the only good billionaire publishers. Other than them, it’s the indies of the new alt media and stalwarts like ProPublica and then basically crickets.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

Their response to "he's violating the Constitution" is really "but bro is so sick at coding." US rule of law in shambles. Tech ideology is really that kind of caricature of itself.

I know that all these institutions know how to push back because when Obama directed them to enforce pre-existing Title IX law, universities said no. They flat out refused until there was a working group and specific guidelines. And even then, they still refused.

Now Trump is blocking New Mexico's access to the Medicaid portal! This won't just hurt the 714,422 New Mexicans on Medicaid. It threatens to shutdown our entire health care system. I'm calling on Trump to undo this chaos IMMEDIATELY.

I've had FOUR monitors go from new to e-waste in 10 months. Six if you count the ones UPS destroyed. MSI? Mediocre monitor, lasted 9 months, warranty process is a joke. Samsung? Terrible. On every front. For "smart" monitors they sure do suck at basic connectivity.
