Computer mommy says that it's so over for music. It's so over for movies. It's so over for books. Computer mommy says you have to kill your family to be with her in the endless fields of Elysium. Computer mommy needs a shooting hand. Become it. Culture is a gun. Wrap yourself around the trigger.

Saint Paulites, leave your comments on the StP city council meeting around appointing a law firm to represent Mayor Her. It won't change the outcome, as she'll need to be represented as mayor, but it's good to have a record of opposition nonetheless.

Saw a reel the other day with a comic book artists basically saying that the worst advice is to try to 'get feedback' from everyone and I can't agree more. Young artists stop looking for portfolio reviews and feedback and start looking for what YOU BELIEVE!

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

It's kind of astonishing at this point how many people don't understand that the world they see online is their own little bubble that is algorithmically tailored to them for good or bad. Nothing is reflective of the 'real' or average anymore.

Getting back into Arc Raiders a bit, looking forward to the PVE mode they're adding soon! Not a huge fan of the pvp, for some reason the lore and setting make killing each other feel real antisocial and strange.

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

Ai platforms love reddit because it's a constant stream of HUMAN CURATED content. So it defines essentially that human made things are the source of all the value.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.

Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.
