Every GTA game has five missions that are like “Steal a slow and extremely unwieldy truck. You immediately have three wanted stars and must get away.” None of them are ever anything but an irritating chore to get through.

I’ve been replaying Grand Theft Auto V and it’s kind of depressing how none of the jokes or pop culture satire in this game from 2013 feel dated.

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Soe Noire, the gender-expansive he/him lesbian? I thought not. It is not a story the woke would tell you.

This makes concluding with “the last shall be first and the first shall be last” a lot more parsimonious I think.

Preaching on the parable of the laborers today, my priest pointed out that the laborers last-chosen would be the weak, disabled, or elderly. Those found to be undesirable as workers. I had always read it as about the late-repentant and this had never occurred to me before.

Even if US guarantees are unreliable, you risk drawing Europe into the war, which would not go well for Russia.

NATO is clearly spooked Russia is about to attack, but I find it difficult to believe the Russians in their present state are capable of a major offensive. Not sure what their play is unless it’s just to expose US guarantees as unreliable but that seems like a major gamble.

This is just a joke lol. SCOTUS cannot overturn parts of the constitution, and this one certainly wouldn’t.

The Supreme Court should overturn the part of the constitution that says the President must be a natural born citizen (wrong side of history, not progressive) so Zohran can run

Probably for most of human history the “automatically hates foreigners” cadre was the overwhelming majority of most societies, and getting it down to 15-30% represents enormous progress. Though I’m not sure that helps a lot now.

Elon is a weird case because even if he stole all his ideas, got rich exclusively by exploiting loopholes etc, I’d still think you’d need a certain level of intelligence to do that successfully. Yet every piece of evidence I see tells me he’s aggressively dumb.

🅱️askerville @baskerville.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I definitely don’t think it’s that they’re dumb. But smart people are also susceptible to various kinds of social contagions or panics or memes, and I suspect something like that is happening. Obviously I don’t really know either of course.

Talking about and conceptualizing things in terms of these huge tail risks or impacts - like the Shrimp welfare stuff - seems to just be fashionable in the Bay Area. I suspect that has a lot to do with it.

Partly it might be that it makes what they’re doing feel important and meaningful. But it’s not as if the technology would not be important and meaningful otherwise.

I don’t think AI researchers for the most part really believe they’re going to kill us all. I also don’t think it’s like a cynical marketing strategy or something, it’s too widespread and organic a sentiment for that. Why they keep saying it is an interesting question.

I believe Lindsay Clancy was severely depressed and fully intended to kill herself after killing her children, but I don’t believe she was insane. But, I don’t think she’ll be convicted. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
