Brewfest is over, but not before I got a chance to make these two eleks my hunter's latest pets. Meet SmartElek and DummElek. #WoW #WorldofWarcraft #Brewfest #Eleks

A screen shot from World of Warcraft: Midnight taken at the edge of a river in Eversong Woods. A hunter player character is mounted on a flying mount hovering between two small pink elephant-like pets (know as "Eleks" in the game), which are named SmartElek and DummElek.

So much of the "quit wasting time and money on humanities programs" comes from dudes with humanities degrees from the Ivies. They get to have a broad, liberal, meaningful education, but it's narrow, lifeless career prep for the rest of y'all.

When I was 5, my mom sent my big brother to the video rental store to get a movie for the family to watch on Christmas day. He picked An American Werewolf in London. I left the room within the first few minutes crying when, IIRC, a guy got his face ripped off. My mom chewed my brother out over it.

Neste ano, hoje, não celebramos apenas os 116 anos da implantação da primeira República. Assinalamos os 100 anos de quando a perdemos. E por ser assim frágil, reforçá-la é essencial. Como escreveu Bernardino Machado, "façamos mais pela liberdade do que os nossos inimigos contra ela".

Spanish PM Sánchez rolled the dice & called for a snap election next month. It's a risky move, but one that will hopefully pay off amidst unrest over the housing crisis that currently tops the list of things most Spanish people care about. May the people prevail over rent-seekers & landlords.

Marx described commodity fetish as the imaginary of capital being more alive, having greater agency, and requiring more deference than the worker who produces it

For people who deny Al personhood for any Al model at any point in the future, you're going to need better arguments than this. There are arguments out there, but once agents can solve Navier-Stokes, write music and poetry, and provide people with seemingly fulfilling life advice, this kind of line is just not going to be persuasive. "YOU'RE CRAZY" no longer lands.

A WoW player all the way back to 2007, I remember when Blizzard's customer support was amazing. I was away from the game for a few years & came back for Midnight. I can't help but notice the enshittification now, even though the game itself (when it functions) is amazing. MSFT acquisition to blame?
