It would not be soul destroying enough: given your team could then take a a ridiculously conservative secondary lead from third base in the bottom of the ninth because a pickoff double was considered more catastrophic than maybe trying to win? All hypothetical of course!

I often wonder why classic tech "pump & dump" keeps working and I think it's because institutional higher-ups desperately want to believe they can still make meaningful decisions. They're chasing the dragon for big wins because incremental gains don't justify their roles.

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

This is a really important story. You know how over reliance on AI makes you lazy and stupid? This shows how that’s happening within the military — a military, it cannot be pointed out often enough, that’s growing ever more reliant on AI. The children of Shajarah Tayyebah Elementary paid the price

A fellow graphic designer said that AI posters look like how customers typically ask for their posters to look, before graphic designers show them that posters don't actually need all that text or those graphics and it's stuck with me.

The one thing I keep noticing as my own kids grow up and encounter contemporary games and fiction is how the satirizing of dystiopia is less obvious to them. Might be a tell on how much creeping fascism has muddied the waters IRL. Some people are even drawn to it unironically. 🤯

Kavinay @kavinay.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Agreed. Not sure the sort of newcomer who goes to "lore videos" to understand 40k is really getting this context unfortunately. It's not their fault--the material has gone through many hands and there is no one "right" way to interpret it. But it does feel like that 80s critique has been lost.

Kavinay @kavinay.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
It really does feel like the ad copy in particular is written by people who think the horrors of 40k are more absurdist flavouring rather than a satire of institutional malevolence taken up to 11.

Kavinay @kavinay.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I grant that Black Library is thankfully quite different to mainline GW. Abnett in particular really finds novel ways of pointing out even the most banal horrors of Imperial fascism. But the actual game books and WarCom in particular just don't seem to have this knowledge anymore.

Yes, there are great little subversive nuggets from the early days. But something has been lost in translation as the generation that founded the setting have been replaced by marketers who milk the fluff. A newer audience might not be able to see the difference with that switch.

It probably doesn't help that younger players don't quite understand the Thatcherite/Neoliberal context that early 2000AD or 40K were often satirizing. But now I get the sense that even people inside GW don't quite get this either?

The NBA offers a limited "over the cap" exception for retaining home grown players. It's not much but at least it's the league putting a thumb on the scale of what fans prefer. PSR has always seemed bizarre at how clearly it emphasizes turning academies of big clubs into a financialization racket.

It's also a fundamental misunderstanding of tenure and tenure-track positions as an academic hall pass. Decades of conservative slippery slope rhetoric doesn't substitute for what is ultimately an issue of good faith.

They've already soft launched it with the DEI purges at the start of the administration. It's actually a shame that Canada has not seized on this as a once in a lifetime chance to lure as much international talent up north for exponential long term growth and innovation.

The programmer AI use case for lots of dull and repetitive tasks is easy. Just reducing the drudgery of large codebases and data sets. Extrapolating that to everything is such an insane leap--but here me out--the reason every comp/MBA program should require Epistemology in 1st year for humility
