i point this out not so much because i think it's surprising but more to underscore how there is a modern "intellectual tradition" in this country that provides the scaffolding for their ideas even if it's dumb as hell. it makes sense to people inside the machine and that's what matters to them

Jensen Huang is a deeply incurious person, and that effectively makes him a deeply stupid person, but one without the ability to climb back up the rope to a place of safety. He's a danger to himself and others.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

@scribeofhades.bsky.social I grew up in Western MA. No matter how terrifying your basement is, it can't compare to my grandmother's. It had brick walls except at the very back, where the wall had been pulled down and a burrow dug into it. The perfect place for a corpse to wait for visitors.
