All I can really say from the other side of the pond about fraternities is that there are severe consequences for your society when you let the ritual pig fucker clubs get away with it.

I have reached the point where I just don't know if I'm cooked, or if I'm seeing something real. The Go Galar Pokemon Go research tasks are full of 8s and 88s, and I can't tell if this is crypto-Nazi bullshit, or if there's some good reason for all the 8s.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

Ok. I got a pair of used biking sandals from Poshmark, and man, my feet are so much happier. I didn't even know biking sandals _existed_ until a friend mentioned it. The sturdy sole on a sandal is just perfection. Not, probably $200 of perfection, but $30, you betcha.

If you come to Minneapolis, and visit the shrines to Alex Pretti and Renee Good, but not George Floyd, you clearly don't understand what happened here, or why. You are missing both the reason ICE came here with vengeance on its mind, and how my neighbors already knew how to stand up and protect.

“voting doesn’t work” and meanwhile New York elected Mamdani who appears to spend his time just… looking around for additional nice/helpful things he can do for his city because he’s run out of campaign promises to fulfill the more local the election, the more powerful your vote

It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

Ok. I'm not much of a gamer. But one thing I've notice in a lot of the silly interstitial games I do play is that there are usually several different sorts of currency. Some things you can only buy with XP, some with coins, some with jewels, etc.

The first few chapters of Folded Sky contain the most beautiful expressions of the joy & purpose & struggle of a historian's work that I've ever read, and also an amazingly tense space pirate chase through distant space. I love this book so much.

As a reminder: Sam Altman has been credibly accused of sexually abusing his younger sibling, who has been in and out of psychiatric programs since she was a teenager. Their parents decided her claims stopped being plausible right about the time Sam attracted VC money.

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

So Trump has decided he can label everything he wants as a national security necessity: his ballroom, his arch, his banning of journalists and a free press. Don't doubt that he will try to undermine or even stop midterm voting as a national security risk. Note: It's all a lie.

For most primaries 2,000 votes is a game changer. Get 5,000 and you pretty much bump off an incumbent, esp one past their second term.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

I mean, as best I understand it, Pinker's entire career has been built on the conceit that he can determine the actual value of individual human beings. And that's just genocide in a fancy suit. Utilitarianism is a bankrupt philosophy, in my opinion.

I feel like political discourse would be much better if people were better at distinguishing between primaries and general elections. Primaries are aspirational, generals are about harm reduction. Progressives need to fight _much harder_ during primaries than we are.

This has been bouncing around my head for days: The sentence "I personally think it is >10% [likely that AI will kill all humans] within the next decade" is falling into/taking advantage of an extremely well known framing bias described by Daniel Kahneman in THINKING, FAST AND SLOW.

Anyway, I know that the "we're all going to die by a robot army" hype is really fun for folks, and so that's going to have way more power than the "nah, dawg, that's dumb" skepticism. That's my cross to bear. But please do consider the possibility it's just very silly hype.
