Worth remembering that the "final solution" was *final* because it came after earlier "solutions", namely forced or "encouraged" remigration.

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

i have decided to set a challenge for myself: one of the dungeon or building interior generators in this should be basically out of the box cellular automata (it's fine to postprocess to a limited extent). one candidate rule: [[0,1,0,0,0], [0,0,2,0,0], [2,1,2,0,0], [1,2,2,1,0], [1,1,1,2,2]]

The world has failed in its goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial times, the UN said on Wednesday, in a sober assessment that laid out a new goal for fighting climate change that would set the world on an uncertain path.

It proposed a new goal of limiting the “overshoot” of rising temperatures and eventually figuring out how to undo the temperature gains, a highly uncertain path.

Three thoughts on this news item: 1. It's just one data point and not at a level of statistical significance for certainty. 2. Octavia Butler said count on the surprises, and this may turn out to be one of them! 3. Made possible by a global team using funding infrastructure that Trump is destroying.

even though their influence on popular music was imho similar, it seems like way fewer people cared when Brian Wilson died compared to Dolly Parton. To me, this is just more evidence for the idea that it's better to spend your time advocating for child literacy than befriending Charles Manson.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Hayden Panettiere and Jennette McCurdy's memoirs both have nearly identical passages about imagining something horrific to make themselves cry on command as child actors. Feels like "scene with sobbing child" is maybe, possibly, not something that can be ethically scripted

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.
