I've been told I have a hero complex, but I actually think it's quite simple.

I am not a fan of Brutalism, but this residential building in Montreal is absolutely something to behold.

I am becoming incredibly exhausted of this pattern: many people: "AI sucks!" Very Smart Person: ah but have you considered (distinct application of ML or statistical modeling that has no real relationship to what the tech industry is marketing as, and people broadly perceive as, "AI")

Early Cartoon Network was hugely inspired by the UPA animator Bobe Cannon. Artists like Genndy Tartakovsky loved his style of movement, studied it and put it in their work. We're looking into Cannon's methods and how they shaped these shows: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-animat...

“Data is the last frontier of colonization. They took our land and tried to sell it back to us.  Now, they're taking our data and selling it back to us as a service.” Wealthy states still colonize Global Majority countries - only now instead of grabbing land, they grab minerals, labor, and data.

I get why everyone thinks Will Stancil is an idiot masquerading as a smart person now. It's like listening to a younger version of myself who thought people's rejection of my narrowly defined hypotheticals was their fault for not seeing it in the context I so cleverly thought of it in.

I thought it was corruption that made people ignore how fossil fuels, minerals mined by child labor, and deals with autocrats ruin people's lives. It's clear that even intelligent people can ignore these problems when that thing that hurts others is "useful" to them. lore.kernel.org/linux-media/...

The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.” Essentially, every single Bluesky user. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbis-new-p...
Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:

“anti-Americanism,”
“anti-capitalism,”
“anti-Christianity,”
“support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”
“extremism on migration,”
extremism on “race,”
extremism on “gender,”
“Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”
Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and
Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”

I've been disillusioned with the U.S. government for most of my life, but this administration has proven that there are no "checks and balances". The fear that gives me in the pit of my stomach proves that I still believed that lie and it kept me from looking for shelter elsewhere.

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.
