On the one hand, it’s comforting to know that Americans aren’t uniquely stupid, voters everywhere have skulls filled with mush and worms. On the other hand, global fascism is probably not an ideal state of affairs.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

I guess there's some sort of "somebody logs onto the internet for the first time every day" sorta thing going on here, but how are people not so _bored_ of constantly pretending to be mad about this stuff? On some level to Permanently Furious Nerd Boys just strike me, ironically, as hobbyless.

I love this seemingly-left-field attack: "if they're conscious, you're building slaves. I don't think they're conscious, so I'm not worried, but if you *do*, you should be fighting this" is brilliant.
A screenshot from the article: '"I think you should be fighting the South and freeing the slaves," Rabbi Navon said he told Mr. Olah that night. Afterward the rabbi sent Mr. Olah some of his writings, arguing that building conscious machines should be banned.'

Just bumping into this again with people _reflexively_ using the word "grape" or a 🍇 emoji and not even realizing they're doing it. It's all part of the same system, where the men running these companies make platforms that don't even let people accurately describe the crimes that they enable.

School music programs are getting absolutely bodied by tariffs, per @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/b...
The effective tariff rate on instruments in June was about 13 percent, said Cullen Hendrix, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. That was down from a peak of nearly 24 percent last September but more than twice as high as before Mr. Trump’s second term.
Band and orchestral instruments have been hit the hardest, he said. In the second quarter of this year, imports of instruments were down nearly 20 percent from the same period in 2024. Imports of orchestral string instruments, including violins, violas and cellos, dropped 50 percent. Brass instruments fell 43 percent.

“It’s hitting the horns, it’s hitting the strings, it’s hitting the percussion,” Mr. Hendrix said. “All of those things combined are kind of sapping the available pool of tools that we can provide these children to begin their journey.”

jaw dropped when I read this www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/w...
But for many Brazilians, the most pressing issue as they prepare to vote on Sunday is a crisis much closer to home: crushing personal debt.
More than 80 percent of Brazilian families are in debt, a historic high for the country, according to the National Confederation of Commerce, a retail group.
Brazil also has the highest benchmark interest rate among 40 major economies, and families spend nearly 30 percent of their income on debt payments, according to Brazil’s central bank. In the United States, that figure is about 11 percent.
Unlike in the United States, where most household debt is driven by mortgages, in Brazil debt is fueled by credit cards, payroll loans and retail store installment plans carrying among the highest interest rates in the world.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a leftist who is locked in a tight race against a right-wing opponent, Flávio Bolsonaro, has seized on this concern in the closing days of the campaign. On Friday, Mr. Lula signed an order banning online gambling, which was legalized in 2018 and has supercharged the household debt crisis.
Brazil is the first country, experts say, to ban online gambling after introducing and regulating the industry.
