No one would have a problem with AI if it was actually being used for what it's good for: very niche scientific applications that 99% of humanity will never hear about. Instead we're being bombarded with useless AI garbage 24/7.

I just saw a film about the AI-enabled apocalypse. Only it's not science fiction. It's not even in the future. It's in the present. The film is called NAZA. See it.

Die „Klimaterroristen“ sind nicht die Demonstrierenden, nicht die Forscher, die seit Jahrzehnten vor dem warnen, was jetzt geschieht. Es ist die FossilIndustrie und ihre korrupten Freunde - Politiker, die mit Lügen und Gier weiter den Planeten zerstören. Klimaschutz ist 
Menschenschutz, Lebensschutz.

Yep, people have some strange notions about what’s “unrealistic”. If only it were merely deeply silly, but it’s dangerous, too.

Mexico says it will pursue legal action against US after deadly ICE shooting in Houston
"Unfortunately, there has been another death of a Mexican national in the United States," President Claudia Sheinbaum said after Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by an ICE agent.

I put off making a 2nd video about Graham Platner since my 1st in Nov 2025, as that one stayed relevant: he's an embarrassing liar who should've been jettisoned immediately.

I don’t think people need to be “crucified” for thinking Platner changed or whatever but I do think they should engage in serious self-reflection and humility, such as not referring to themselves as being “crucified”

I think the Platner thing hit me so hard bc it was one of the most protracted, widespread acts of misogynist gaslighting from my own side that I've seen. We were presented with an obvious violent scumbag who was constantly lying (badly, might I add) and told we were crazy for not loving him

I just moved a refrigerator into a fifth-floor walkup with Mitch McConnell. At one point, he held the whole thing up with just one hand. It was a little intimidating how healthy and strong and virile he is.

Donny’s horrible health and the comical denial by his lackeys of that obvious fact is fast reaching that “Comrade Chernenko has a cold” stage that characterized Soviet succession from Brezhnev onward ‘til Gorbachev.

Global weirding - here we’re see-sawing between warm/hot spells and cool ones as the unstable polar vortex bends the jet stream and the West (prairie provinces, AB, BC) gets hot and dry (wildfire weather) while we get cold and rain, and then it flips. Steady summers a thing of the past?

I’m tempted to say that the personal isolation induced by driving a car increases one’s selfishness and dampens one’s moral sense. It gives one a specific kind of power, and as the saying goes, power corrupts.
