"Smug is the emotional tone of Mastermind. I want the buyer to feel judged by the box. Like the box is already disappointed in them. If you don’t want smug, don’t name the game Mastermind. This isn’t fucking checkers. This is a duel in a seminar room at Davos."

While here I will make a plug to support @aftynbehn.bsky.social in her Tuesday special election in TN-07. Trump/GOP melting down, late polling has this race a toss up. Would be a huge, huge upset. Watch my new interview with her and donate 👇 bsky.app/profile/simo...

#onthisday in 1917 (24 July) Arnold Bennett dined with JM Barrie, Thomas Hardy and wife. Hardy “has all his faculties, unimpaired. Quite modest and without the slightest pose,” AB wrote in his journal [Hardy was then aged 77]

The highlight of my 2024 was finding shaving cream that did not come in an indestructible recepticle that, if repurposed, could hold the DNA of dinosaurs.

The point isn’t to pat ourselves on the back because we have it better. It’s to remember that if people like Navalny are willing to risk imprisonment, torture, and death to resist an evil empire, there is no excuse for us to back down. @cathyyoung63.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/even-in-de...

Even in Death, Navalny Still Threatens the Putin Regime

The opposition leader’s posthumous memoir is a chronicle of a death foretold.

This sounds like the script of some Bond movie. “During the Cold War we made physics go dark and we’re going to do the same thing to math!” {Villain twirls mustache and laughs maniacally} My understanding was they did an assessment and supported open source too? www.ntia.gov/issues/artif...

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) says he attended "absolutely horrifying" meetings where Biden's government vowed to take "complete control" over Al technology:
"They basically said Al is going to be a game of 2 or 3 big companies working closely with the government... We're going to protect them from competition, control them, and dictate what they do."
When Marc countered that this would be impossible-—the math behind Al is taught everywhere-they responded, "During the Cold War, we classified entire areas of physics and took them out of the research community-entire branches of physics went dark and didn't proceed. If we decide we need to, we're going to do the same thing to the math underneath Al."

🧵 We watched the rollout of Plandemic in realtime at SIO. We knew RFK & a group of influencers were trying to make Mikovits a thing. She was suddenly on every conspiracy pod a few weeks before it dropped. He blurbed her book. A Veritas guy was helping boost her…
