Johnsonville, no. Please. Don't do this.

I remember back in like, 2012, the national conversation was about how "attack ads" were really deleterious to the national conversation. What a relic of a different era of politics, thank God we've moved past that. These guys suck really hard, you should point that out as often as possible.

I have an advanced degree in physics and I went out of my way to take history courses in undergrad. Because I wanted to know stuff better, and that's what college is for.

I don't post about things I actually have some experience in often enough. I've autotuned my own voice and it never sounded this bad.

I'm not gonna pretend to be super plugged into all this, but I first heard about Yudkowski about ten years ago in the context of "isn't this guy a weird Internet freak, lol you'll only ever meet a few people who know who he is" and boy did that not turn out to be the case (derogatory)

This (not vaccinating against rabies because dogtism) is one of those things that has been popping into my head unprompted for years and every time I remember "it's safer to get shot in the head than for rabies to reach your brain stem, and it's not even close"

Listen, this guy is straight up arguing you can steal another man's life force by sucking his dick. His username, nakula, is suspiciously similar to Dracula. I think he's a cum vampire.

She's trying to thread a needle here without offering any commitments to the crank side of the issue. The really dangerous part of MAHA is that there's a real point that hasn't been well-addressed, and she's trying to address it without promising anything to the crazies

Fuck this "our workplace is special" bullshit. This is straight up "I just won on my anti-union bingo card last updated 80 years ago" nonsense. "Unions are for burger flippers" is literally a verbatim union-busting law firm line.

It's obvious that "the human body never stops changing, the brain included." It's also obvious that manipulating these changes is different depending on when they happen. That's a totally different conversation from "should we allow kids to experiment with gender?" Yes, we should.

An asymmetry I don't think I've seen discussed is that, at least in my experience, LLMs are way better at identifying potentially bad code than they are are writing good code

The only way I've seen transphobes engage with trans men is in terms of pseudofeminist concern over young girls wishing to be the dominant gender because being a woman is intolerable. Trans men are gender traitors and trans women are predatory perverts. What a fucked up view of gender

Maybe there's a hard case somewhere that actually challenges one's principles, but "a guy who was dishonest about meaningless bullshit shouldn't be hounded to death, especially when it's largely because he's black" doesn't seem like a particularly difficult stance to take. Unless you don't want to.

Hot take: barbecue sauce is to pork as A1 is to steak. It's fine to like the flavor, but if you need it then the meat was poorly prepared (I know this is about burgers, the idea is the same)

Part 2: you think GPS is a big deal because you can work out where you are, but actually it's a bigger deal that you can work out exactly what time it is

Cairo Practical Effects @browhocares.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

GPS doesn't track your location, it literally can't. Your devices use GPS broadcasts to compute your position. Your devices often do track you.

I'm no expert, but "new atheist centrist resist lib" isn't what I'd call a "growth demographic." Also, I can't wait to see what the first altDOGE account has in store for us

I don't even think this is useful because none of the hateful morons who backed this agenda will change their mind after watching this. He's just another elite hypocrite, hiring an "illegal" to displace a "heritage American."

So the little extra money you do manage to scrape out of your disability doesn't go to new, uncovered by insurance medical treatment that might actually help get you back you work, it goes to an agency this mother fucker owes $100M to and won't collect. I may be bitter about this.

So, there's no way those caverns aren't going to suffer damage, right? There's no way supply comes back fast enough and Trump will not stop drawing down reserves for a silly reason like "you will cause permanent damage to the infrastructure"

Millennials had a whole discourse about how people said "literally" when they didn't mean literally, and we're supposed to just ignore how approximately 0.001% of lols actually corresponded to vocal laughter?

The choice to perform this dialogue in a contemporary American English dialect is certainly not without controversy, but I see how it helps communicate the story to a modern audience.
