tired of the trope where TV characters are sarky in response to questions are that are clearly only posed to feed info to second-screen viewers, i.e Joe: the murders took place in Moscow, it says here Jack: Moscow…in Russia?! Joe, eyes rolling, withering: No, Moscow in Penge, you graat pillock

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

What is particularly interesting about Hungary is how a relatively new political movement managed to build the organisation required to compete with a political machine that had spent years making itself extraordinarily difficult to defeat.

From the streets to the ballot box: What Hungary can teach Serbia
The challenge is not simply whether an entrenched authoritarian government can be defeated, but whether almost two years of a student-led mobilisation can be translated into electoral power.

Saw the guillotine that killed Marie Antoinette today, genuinely quite chilling to think we will have to do this to hundreds and hundreds of similar people again in the very near future

Very much worth reading if you don’t known about Petrov. This is the day we celebrate and honour him, and properly feel gratitude, and other things. Relying on tech in wartime can be deeply perilous. sammatey.substack.com/p/happy-stan...

Somewhat experimental pizza. Read the alt text if curious. It was pretty sick!
Cream, parmesan, preserved lemons and confit garlic for the sauce. Then a layer of mushrooms sautéed in all sorts of stuff, then mixed with mushroom pate for a huge umami bomb? A mushroom cloud if you will. Then spinach to clear out the fridge, and finally some char siu from the conbini

OK, might as well let the cat out of the bag The first excerpt from @beckbook.com is now available in the PRINT edition of New York Magazine!! It'll be online later, but if you can buy the actual issue, go support one of the last great print magazines!!! To entice you, here's the opening spread:

"Losing Beck" by Josephine Riesman

The singer-songwriter's acclaimed album SEA CHANGE was said to have been inspired by a breakup. For his partner of nine years, it was the story of how the Church of Scientology took over his life.

Thing is, you can watch ANY streamer content (including many other Dropout shows) and see much the same thing. The peak GC episodes for me are the ones where you can attempt to figure out the rules along with the players, and then revel in those rules getting twisted into total chaos

Hot take?* Game Changer needs a moratorium on social deception games. Going back to the well is anti-Game Changer. Plus it just devolves into incoherent yelling like IRL deception games with highly-strung individuals tend to do *mostly cause their track record means they get a pass on everything

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

It’s easier to write flat, expository dialog and trust the second screen to keep viewers from clicking away than to just write compelling dialog so I guess we’re stuck with it :/

‘Harry Potter fanfic’ is certainly suggestive of all manner of kink but Methods of Rationality specifically is basically a sexless text and that is the ‘Holy Bible’? I also refuse to believe Yudowsky has had sex period, never mind rules a sex cult.

i made a Milk Street curry recipe once and it was the blandest thing ever. I'm not sure if the dude is from Minnesota or South Dakota or wherever but he is not into the spicy at least. (It was a good technical recipe for the Instant Pot as long as you added your own spice to taste)

It’s dangerous to put off selling up and moving out when you’re living in a house of cards, but you can’t just let people come in and poke around and take pictures either. And the longer they wait, the more the competition catches up as you hit diminishing returns. I don’t see anything good for ‘em

So what I strongly suspect is happening here is that OpenAI and Anthropic are angling for favorable regulation from TrumpWorld that will shut out competition from China etc. The fearmongering also hyped up the supposed capabilities of their wares. OFC, they want to IPO asap but the books are putrid

The video game industry has always been volatile (I published Press Reset in 2021!) but the skeleton key to understanding the current state of things is this: Big games now cost 10x to make what they did 15 years ago but most do not generate even close to 10x the revenue. Simple as that

I repeat this every year, but my big memory of 9/11 was talking to my Cold War liberal dad on the phone and him getting angry at me for saying “This is our Reichstag fire. The worst people in the US are going to run with this.”

Post 9/11 thread for people to post the wildest shit they remember from 01 to 06 I'll start: People thought Osama had an entire mountain hollowed out that he was using as his base and that's why AQ was hard to find and that somehow a group of like 30 dudes arranged this.
A gi joe style hide out for al qaeda that is way too elaborate.
