Holy fucking hell this is quite a piece of writing. I have known for a while that rationalism had the same vague shape as scientology. I did not know that there were camps for inducting teenagers into the belief system. ...Nor did I know that the camps were run by rape enthusiasts.

Hi. Instinct sounds an interesting use. I've been building a pre-trained gemma as an assistant, but if Instinct does the same then it would save a lot of time and frustration! I've followed the link but need an invite. Would you be able to provide one?

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

Well, well, Welland.

@HelloStephano

Every ship entering the Great Lakes goes through the Welland Canal, located fully in Canada. There's no other option. $26.3 billion of US trade depends on it. Would be a shame if tolls skyrocketed or it was transit-taxed heavily...

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Today, apparently, is National Potato Day in America, so if you’d like an absurdly long thread of root-vegetable-native-to-the-Americas content, you’ve come to the right place. We begin with the potato monument in Biesiekierz, Poland, because, well: look at it. Of course we do

A large sculpture in a park, possibly, or at least an area of grass by a road, in Poland. An enormous pale blue stand, with four prongs, holds up a gigantic (metal?) potato, complete with knobbles

Selective time travel is one of the most interesting aspects of SF narratives around time. A lot of shows will talk about “fixed points” in time, essentially to prevent the characters from strategically or logistically deploying time travel to dismantle the crisis the story is about.

Trump Revocable Trust Intermediary Entity When Walter Shaub, then Director of the Office of Government Ethics, called on President Trump to divest from the Trump Organization during his first term, Trump instead transferred his operating businesses to the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. Many had urged him to use a blind trust. Critics argued the DJT Revocable Trust fell far short of that standard: Trump remained the sole beneficiary, his son controlled the assets, and Trump could revoke the arrangement at any time. Shaub later commented that the arrangement was “meaningless from a conflict of interest perspective” and that “setting up a trust to hold his operating businesses adds nothing to the equation. This is not a blind trust—it’s not even close.” Established 2014 Sources ↗ Stenglein, Christine, "OGE Director warns Trump’s business plan insufficient", The Brookings Institution, January 11, 2017 ↗ Craig, Susanne, and Eric Lipton, "Trust Records Show Trump Is Still Closely Tied to His Empire", The New York Times, February 3, 2017 ↗ Kravitz, Derek, and Al Shaw, "Trump Lawyer Confirms President Can Pull Money From His Businesses Whenever He Wants", ProPublica, April 4, 2017 ←controlled by Donald Trump Jr. According to a 2024 regulatory filing, Donald Trump Jr. "is the sole trustee and has sole voting and

Musk is a pathetic liar. He tried telling The Economist’s Editor-in-Chief that a British civil war is "inevitable," only for her to calmly point out that he hasn't stepped foot in the UK in years, she actually lives there, and real crime stats prove he made the whole thing up. Pure gold.

This whole ongoing story is so odd, funny, tragic, historic, it deserves it's own Christopher Nolan film. Think of the costumes, the locations, the subtleties, the violence, the redemption arcs, the betrayals. A microcosm and metaphor for our age . And did I mention the costumes!
