Love this. And at a more basic level, I’ve never forgotten Gibson’s line about every AI having “an electromagnetic shotgun wired to its forehead.” Turing Police please

I remember when it dawned on me that the "Flag tower" (the largest) must once have been the flagship.

Philadelphia here. The whole city vibe is that we were delighted to host and that we loved having all the visitors. And if there had been any right-wing hooligan bullshit, the city would have beaten them bloody and thrown them in the river

"Low-priced" is also doing a lot of work there. $600 in 1980 dollars is a $2,500 near-high-end PC today

This is of course why the Nazis developed an atom bomb long before the Allies, leading to the German victory in the war

My grandfather (who'd never seen beyond Alabama or Tennessee) was drafted in 1943. In the Army he saw North Africa, France, Belgium, and Germany. His unit was part of the occupation force in Nuremberg after the war, and as a common soldier he got tickets to be in the audience for these trials.

I've heard and read it all my life, and the tribal association never occurred to me once. (Also, wouldn't "creek" have to be capitalized for that? You never see it that way.)

I'm sure this is motivated by important strategic considerations and has nothing to do with Pete Hegseth being a racist piece of shit

You can blow a few small minds by reminding people that Arabic-speaking Christians use "Allah" for God

Antifascism looks like Pedro Pascal. It looks like Alex Pretti and AOC. It looks like 600 priests, imams, and rabbis in the cold streets of winter Minneapolis. Antifascism is gorgeous.
