Discworld QOTD, from The Fifth Elephant

“Well . . . if it happened . . . if it did . . . would you do what Vimes did? Carrot? Would it be you who picked up a weapon and came after me? I know you won’t lie. I’ve got to know. Would it be you?”
A little snow slid down from the trees. The wolves watched. Carrot looked up for a moment, at the gray sky, and then nodded.
“Yes.”
She sighed.
“Promise?” she said.

Been watching videos from this Harvard prof about feelings of meaninglessness in modern life (especially among young folks; videos worked, I bought his book! Lol). He also gets into why we have midlife career crises related to meaning that I've found helpful youtu.be/rSJQf72jlGA?...

If you lose power during Hurricane Isaias and use a portable generator, remember to run it at least 20 feet away from your home. Never run a generator indoors. Carbon monoxide is a deadly gas you can't see or smell and it can kill in minutes.

One portable generator with an equal sign next to a lot of cars. The text reads: one portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of mid-size cars. Only use your generator outdoors and 20 feet away from your home.

He is. Someone mentioned earlier him bellowing GORDON'S ALIVE, but he says it beautifully. He can't believe such a thing's possible - and there's more to him than Flash Gordon. In Branagh's Henry V, he speaks the verse so clearly and intelligibly, and looks like a walking fucking tank

Isaias is expected to strengthen and be a strong hurricane when it approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Friday. A life-threatening storm surge is expected along a portion of the northern Gulf Coast, and a Storm Surge Warning is now in effect. Residents should follow advice given by local officials.

National Hurricane Center forecast for Tropical Storm Isaias, issued October 7, 2026, at 10 PM CDT. Isaias has maximum sustained winds of 70 mph and is moving east-northeast at 9 mph. The storm is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane before approaching the northern Gulf Coast Friday evening, with its center potentially moving inland across Mississippi and Alabama Saturday. Hurricane warnings are in effect along portions of the northern Gulf Coast. The cone represents the probable path of the storm's center, not the extent of hazardous conditions.

National Hurricane Center map showing forecast peak storm surge from Tropical Storm Isaias along the northern Gulf Coast. Storm surge of 5–7 feet above ground level is forecast from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, through Mobile Bay, Alabama, to Indian Pass, Florida. Surrounding coastal areas could experience 3–5 feet near southeastern Louisiana, 4–6 feet east of Indian Pass to the Steinhatchee River, and generally 1–3 feet along portions of coastal Louisiana and the Florida Big Bend. Forecast values represent water heights above normally dry ground.

Reminds me of how Activision survived by stumbling from Tony Hawk to Guitar Hero to Call of Duty, but then went so far in on CoD that they dismantled the machinery that could’ve produced their next big thing after CoD.

1-panel SMBC comic update. A man is sitting at his computer while another stands behind him, criticizing what is on the screen. The standing man says "you call that art? You’re just by yourself prompting a robot to make stuff." The sitting man interjects "but it's still - " and is cut off by the standing man adding "where’s the INTENT? Huh? This isn’t why we make things." The caption below the panel reads "AI cannot create, because real Art comes from the human need to impress the shy girl in figure-drawing class."

I'm holding onto hope for our collective future but I still don't trust these people (some of 'em, my neighbors!) to actually do the right thing, and I wonder if they actual like the taste of hate Trump's been serving.

"undecided, former republicans" that would still vote Trump for a 4th time/3rd term but who won't say that out loud, and who might be dodging phone calls and other pollsters (do they still stand around with clipboards in shopping malls?) Still: the rent IS too damn high, price of eggs & diesel, etc

Polling in some states that overwhelmingly voted for Trump three times, I mean, yeah, it's good news mostly but I have to wonder how many people are _actively avoiding_ answering these particular questions. Is there a way to build that into models? Some folks might also be lying, publicly,
