pretty sure the person who hard-coded the easter egg just tweaked the minecraft ender dragon dialogue to make it more government-relevant in a funny way.

wake up babe, new Skynet/ Matrix/ WOPR/ robot apocalypse strategy just bounced: they're going to use the brain-rotted guy in charge of health policy to tell us to all start licking measles homeopathically.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.

Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

When people ask "universities sit on a billion dollar endowment, why don't they spend it on scholarships?" The answer is: "because the people who gave the money conditioned it on spending it on building a campus in Miami."

It's funny because noted sex-cult leader Big Yuds' argument for the AI murdering us all is that it will be a ruthlessly "logical" machine, whereas current AI is a gaussian blur of the Collective Unconscious and if it nukes us all its because we wrote a lot of fiction where AI tries to kill humans.

whenever i asked myself "what if death note was real?" i never considered that a guy who talks like light yagami would be so unbelievably fucking annoying. yudkowsky's answer is indistinguishable from light's monologue in the yellow box warehouse

Right up there with this classic

@LPNational (the national Libertarian Party) asks, “In your words, what do Libertarians believe?”

@WAForeskins quotes with “My girlfriend shouldn’t have to sit in a car seat”

This particular bunch is so dumb that they have the level of confidence in their own intellect which only comes from never having had to realize that other people may be smarter. One of the most important parts of higher education is learning that you are not a singular genius who is always right.
