QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Because of Texas A&M's censorship policy, professors have had to cut mentions of gender and race from their syllabi. Our client's ethics and public policy course was cancelled because he couldn't provide a day-by-day rundown of when sexual orientation would come up in discussion. We're suing.

I maintain that the joke you do with a "frozen in the late-90s guy" - in an Austin Powers reboot context or not - is to make them have prepared for HUGE future adjustments and instead be confused + upset by how the world has mostly only changed in small and annoying ways.

The context of #pathfinder2e damage mechanics is important to note in comparisons. Fighter? Accuracy without much weapon size limit and there's few conditions. Rogue? Small weapon usually, Sneak Attack 1d6 + 1d6 at 5th, 11th, 17th. Yet it has many tools for off-guard and team support.

In 7 months time, the world will officially cross the Austin Threshold - the point where the number of years since the release of the original "AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY" will equal and begin to exceed the number of years Austin Powers was frozen in the film (1967-1997) 😳

A wonderful thing about the general aviation community is that it is pretty small and tight-knit and you get to know a lot of people who are wonderful and open and generous and kind. But it is also a community with rather more sudden death than most and god it hits hard when the worst happens.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

One key point @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social makes here is that if Dems win the midterms (and win in 2028), deploying congressional power creatively to unwind Elon Musk's sway over the government (contracts, etc) will be essential to any reconstruction: www.ms.now/opinion/elon...

I agree that this is a BFD. But I think it gives Trump too much agency. This was baked in for quite some time and I expect Lindsey Graham's death is what accelerated it. Putin is no doubt offering Trump a way out of his Iran disaster, which ALWAYS required scapegoating Ukraine.
