@homebrewandhacking.bsky.social 's complaint about PbtA feels right: > "I try and cook a Michelin star meal. Oh no! A 7!" > "You partially succeed. You cook the meal but it poisons the reviewer." It's a great example! It nails the problem of treating acting under fire as the underlying template.

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

Looks like US-made textiles and clothing have gotten more expensive since Trump imposed tariffs in April 2025.
A graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the price of US-made textile products and apparel since July of 2022. The prices held mostly steady until May of 2025, at which point they've gone up about 7%.

this whole thing is madness inducing but the middle paragraph here is the one that made me say "oh we're FUUUUUCKED fucked" out loud
Hill was willing to speak bluntly and on the record. But not every scientist I contacted felt able to do that. I called one Florida scientist who studies sea level rise to fact-check some of the agents' comments, but before we got very far, they asked not to be named. They explained that their current research depends on cooperation from county and municipal governments, which means they have to "tread very carefully" when speaking about real estate development in the
area.
That made sense to Hill. "If we get in the way of developers, their attorneys can go after us through our universities," she said. "It's not uncommonẠỊi
For the most part, she said, silence about climate risk in housing is incentivized. Because if climate risk tanks a property's value, she said,

So ideally what we ought to do is impeach Trump, Vance, Hegseth and Rubio for waging an illegal war and then charge them with a bunch of crimes for waging an illegal war (misappropriation of funds, at a minimum) and then send them to jail forever. Not a likely outcome, but the correct one.

We do not apply this reasoning - that you are responsible when your enemy in a war decides to kill civilians (which is not just some, but most of the deaths totaled here) - to any other war. People have agency and are responsible for their choices, including groups and countries other than the USA.

To reiterate, "Only white people are capable of empire, slavery or atrocity" - that only white people can do the worst of sins - is itself still a form of white supremacism that imagines white people as the unique protagonists of history rather than recognizing that all people have agency.

Nick Beckstead, noted longtermist and "effective altruist,” just comes out and says it: "But it now seems more plausible to me that saving a life in a rich country is substantially more important than saving a life in a poor country, other things being equal."
This is precisely why Nick Beckstead, a noted EA, argued in 2013 that, given the "overwhelming" moral importance of the far future - "millions, billions, and trillions" of years from now - we should prioritize saving the lives of people in rich countries over those in poor countries, other things being equal. The reason is that people in rich countries are better positioned to influence the far future.

To take another example, saving lives in poor countries may have significantly smaller ripple effects

than saving and improving lives in rich countries. Why? Richer countries have substantially more

innovation, and their workers are much more economically productive. By ordinary standards at

least by ordinary enlightened humanitarian standards saving and improving lives in rich countries

is about equally as important as saving and improving lives in poor countries, provided lives are

improved by roughly comparable amounts. But it now seems more plausible to me that saving a life

in a rich country is substantially more important than saving a life in a poor country, other things
being equal.
Screenshot from Beckstead's 2013 PhD dissertation, regarded as one of the founding documents of longtermism, one of the main cause areas of EA.
