I am apparently not the first person to notice this, but with Guilfoyle back in the news, I realized today that what Mar a Lago face reminds me of is the plastic surgeon in Escape from L.A.

I cannot help but notice that leftist groups do not, for the most part, demand that all lefty Catholics only attend churches that dissent from the teachings of the Church hierarchy on abortion and queer rights. They broadly understand that sometimes one has a cultural link to people with bad views.

With most information hidden, the game Stratego had stumped AI—until now The AI, called Ataraxos, beat Pim Niemeijer, arguably the best Stratego player of all time, 15 games to one, with four draws. And it took just 16 GPUs and a few thousand dollars to train it.

Adding in a second neural network that guesses the identity of hidden pieces was key.

I don't understand why some people think "acknowledging the historical fact that Eretz Yisrael is the ancestral homeland of the Jews" logically implies "Israel's actions are legitimate." It doesn't! You don't have to make ahistorical claims to oppose Israel's genocide!

A Dem trifecta appoints judges who commit to holding that Trump as an insurrectionist was ineligible for office in 2024 & was not lawfully president in his 2nd term, and therefore any pardons in that term are a nullity.

I found parts of @segyges.bsky.social thread to be a stretch, which made it puzzling that he left out something that I would say looks more damning: Before HPMOR, EY wrote "Three Worlds Collide", an otherwise interesting sci-fi story marred by making the distinguishing feature...

I didn't quite win my first play of Jon Company 2 thanks to an unfortunate random flcompany failure card, 14-(13)-12-7-2, but I did basically bankrupt both of the latter two players in separate incidents, which was arguably more satisfying. #boardgames

Yesterday I had what for me is an almost unheard-of experience -- I bought something because I randomly saw an advertisement for it. Granted, I had already been planning to buy some linen shirts, but I encountered these specific items by chance (work computer; so not my phone spying on me).

Tumblr post I made on October 10th, 2023, observing that unlike Sarah Palin, Marjorie Taylor-Green, or Lauren Boehbert, I do think that Nancy Mace is quite attractive, and a follow-up from November 11th 2025 noting that the eating disorder or whatever it is has started wrecking that, and substituting Pam Bondi as my unfortunately-hot monster.

Perhaps the diversity trainings I was exposed to back in the 2010-2016 period were unusually bad, but they definitely featured some doozies. A particular favorite was the "inclusivity" training that asserted one was doing a microaggression if they didn't maintain consistent eye contact.
