Something I keep thinking about is how white supremacists use the reality that whiteness is a fascist identity by insisting that BIPOC took away their culture, when the reality is that the creation of whiteness itself did that. And the only way out is ending whiteness as a concept.

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

This is why Musk doesn't mind that that Twitter revenue is down 59% (or Ellison w/ CBS). He's more than making up for that loss via Twitter's political effects--ingratiating to Trump, fomenting racist panics, etc--which help SpaceX and xAI get favorable public contracts and regulatory treatment

If your partner grabbed the wheel of your car and forced you to drive to a store to buy pills after you complained of a medical condition, it would be considered emotional abuse. But when an AI agent does it because you instructed it to oversee your health, it’s just a data point?

A few months back, I couldn't stop hearing about how amazing OpenClaw is by tech folk - including folks running this place. The security issues were obvious from the start, enough so where it just seemed deeply irresponsible and bizarre to use this. So, not shocked. Just disappointed.

There are a lot of details in here about Zuck releasing a half-baked product, but one thing that really stands out is just how weird these folks are. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

Meta’s A.I. leaders also incorporated OpenClaw into their own lives. Mr. Friedman hooked his agent up to cameras in his house, where it would instruct him to do things like drink water to stay hydrated.
“It sent me a snapshot frame of me drinking a bottle of water and said, ‘Good job,’” Mr. Friedman said at a recent tech conference.
In another instance, while talking to his agent about ways to get better sleep, OpenClaw took over Mr. Friedman’s self-driving Tesla and redirected him to a grocery store to pick up magnesium pills. At Meta’s annual developer conference last month, Mr. Zuckerberg said he had connected his agent to cameras in his martial arts gym so that it could critique his fighting form.
Yet there were safety concerns. Agents could sometimes go rogue or take over software apps. In February, one agent took over the work computer of a Meta safety researcher, deleting her emails uncontrollably.
“I couldn’t stop it from my phone,” Summer Yue, the researcher, wrote on social media. “I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.”

Especially since HBO are involved that it could have been a limited series. Because at the end of the day the general audience is not going to sit for 4 hours (10 minutes intermission) to watch this.

The Summer Hikaru Died 🔆 Can’t believe it’s ending this month!!

Hikaru and Yoshiki from the manga The Summer Hikaru Died. They’re in single file, walking swinging their arms while eating a shared ice cream in front of a forest. Hikaru is smiling looking back, and Yoshiki is passive faced but one of his arms looks like it’s reaching out to hold onto Hikaru’s. The sky is bright blue with a heavy warm colour palette. Inside the twisting tree trunk directly behind Hikaru, there’s patterns from Hikaru’s insides so it looks like it’s coming out from him.
