Claim is anecdotal. Presented by someone with vested interest in making the company's tech appear stronger than competitors. It sounds truthy because AI researchers have frequently been short-sighted about potential consequences of their actions. It also sounds like an Underpants Gnome plan.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

At a cider mill where they're charging $9.25 for a 12 oz container of apple butter. The spirit of my grandfather rose up and shook his head. "Thought I taught you better than that." So now I'm in line to buy 2 lbs of apples to cook down my damn self.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Yeah, I know. First world problem shit. I'd just like to dump the photos off my phone without having to do it in tiny batches so I have to spend this process reliving my marriage ending since the last time I dumped photos off my phone. I'd prefer this to be less of a bummer.

I cannot think of a single time I've tried to import photos off my phone into the macOS Photos app where it actually worked the way it was supposed to the first time. I can't speak for anyone else, but over multiple phones and computers this process always feels broken for me.

30. Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma
Review text: I was laughing so much and so loudly I cackled. Surrealist Slasher that my brain wants to overanalyze, but I'm mostly sure that's the opposite of what the movie wants me to do.

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

29. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Review Text: A solid adventure film with multiple times I had to pause and wait to finish laughing. Up there with 1999's The Mummy for the action/comedy balance (but sadly lacking the bisexual horniness of The Mummy).

This scene is one of the most honest and useful depictions of self deception in the history of TV. It's also what the overpriced consultants said when pitching [insert Dem here] on throwing trans people under the bus as shrewd electoral strategy.

"I don't like bullies, and I won't become one." Nine words. That's the start. They attack trans people, journalists, immigrants, women in the military, etc. and what do you do? You start with those nine words. Because they're bullies. Loud, bigoted bullies with nothing to offer but hate.

So far my only complaint with Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave is that they swapped one of the buttons during combat from ZR to ZL, and my fingers aren't used to it yet. Only about two hours in and still very tutorial-y, but I'm already finding favorite characters and enjoying the tweaks to the UI.

Is there a formal name for the performative credulity and elite deference that respectable media just can’t seem to abandon? It is clearly illustrated in the case of RFK Jr. Everyone involved is expected to maintain a fiction that nobody knows what everybody knows.

Sometimes when the pup barks at nothing I'll try and distract her by showing that nobody is at the door, but telling her she's a good girl who scared them away. But she is both too smart and too silly to fall for this lie and will go back to barking at nothing in 60 seconds or less.
