The cover to the Failure album "Fantastic Planet". It depicts 3 1950's/60's styled sci-fi astronauts disembarking two upright rockets in the background and holding rifles.

Never thought of this before, but having your chief executive (eg. President) also be the Commander in Chief of your military seems like some banana republic type shit.

Inspector "Gadget" and his brother were a pair of elite private investigators. In a confrontation with "Dr. Claw" an explosion took Gadet's brother's life, maimed Claw, and left Gadget near death. Gadget survived via curting edge bionic implants and took custody of his niece Penny.

WELKER: Earlier this year you said President Trump should be impeached. What do you see as his impeachable offenses? EL-SAYED: Like, which one? There are many. Making sure that every president understands who comes after Trump that there is a rule of law I think that is absolutely critical

Having been on the video and digital side of that convo vs "real" film back in college, I get it. Film studios weren't pushing video or digital as a way to simplify (read: eliminate) anyone's job or circumvent the existing creative process though.

OK ... so the Knicks reversed the curse that the Cubs inadvertently activated by winning the world series in 2016. If the White Sox (local opposites of the Cubs) go all the way though, does that usher us into some kind of golden age? Sports metaphysics is complicated.

(It didn't hit as hard as a kid, but) the ending of Final Fantasy 6. It destroys me as an adult. Nostalgia is powerful.

The ending of The Outer Wilds and the ending of Gone Home. Incidentaly, both games where I had convinced myself to expect something else going into the end.

I'm no constitutional scholar, but it seems to me that asking for a foreign adversary to attack US cities might be something that's against the Presidential oath of office.

I hope groups in states where election day suppression tactics are likely to be prevalent (anywhere red where the balance of power is likely to shift eg. TX) have plans to document and counter them. Suppression is the regime's 1st line of defense. Denying/hindering the results will be next.

It boggles my mind that parents feed their children into this system. "Sure, reputationally, the Greek system is associated with alcoholism, drug use, criminality, rape, and sexual assault, but... They're learning leadership!"

I appreciate the rundown. What I'm seeing is that a lot of the "AI" problem here is "human" error. I'm reminded of the line from Jurassic Park about wielding power like a kid who's found their father's gun. But everything turned out fine in that situation...

Is there one source of truth on the whole Hugging Face AI incident? At this point I've seen sources I trust on both sides of the spectrum: 1) the agents were doing what they were told to, including Hugging Face being the target 2) the agents went rogue and executed an attack to "win" a test scenario

I just realized that there are probably people who _only_ read online recipes for the stories that precede the recipe on the page and who have no intention of every attempting to make the food. I find this revelation to be existentially terrifying.

Today, UVW-CWA stands in solidarity with Travailleuses.eurs d'Ubisoft Montréal-Ubisoft Workers of Montreal (TUM-UWM) fighting to preserve their coworkers’ right to a hybrid workplace. Return to Office is one of many policies management implements without the input of workers it affects the most: parents, employees with disabilities, workers who purchased homes outside of a reasonable commute radius, workers who moved countries to maintain their job, workers who thrive in a remote environment, and many others. By enacting brutal cost-cutting measures and going back on previous agreements, company leadership must be held accountable for the human price of their decisions.

The organized workers of TUM-UWM are leading the charge in our collective struggle for dignified work and economic justice. If you are a worker at Ubisoft Montréal, join your colleagues during break hours and ensure that Ubisoft workers’ voices are represented at the table.

It's the fact that we _all_ know it's a horror game before Dan asks and we doubly know when Arin denies it, but sweet, trusting Dan still hasn't caught on after all these years.

Makes me wonder if this focus on high school (to the point where we see adults forever stuck in adolescent patterns of behavior and hierarchies of importance) is just another fundamental difference between neurodivergents and flatscans.

I disagree with this completely.
This is a birds of a feather flock together situation. Men are not ostracized from male spaces if they respect women, they just flock together. If you find a good egg he's likely surrounded by good eggs and vice versa.

The thing about raising a son who genuinely respects women is that he will be completely ostracized from most male spaces.

I was reminded of this quote from Dune today: "Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." That Frank Herbert knew a thing or two about human nature.
