This ethos of welcoming refugees was a core reason I fell in love with MN and have stayed for decades. But this past winter made it sharp and hard as diamonds: We protect our neighbors, that's fucking that.

The great thing about “super intelligence” is if anyone says it to you you can be like “I don’t know what you’re talking about” and then if they try to explain you can say “that doesn’t sound right”

I can't think of many ethical hacking activities I would approve of more than taking down a livestreaming service that broadcasts an execution. Just saying.

Republican candidate: I think for myself. I don't have to do what the president says, I can disagree with him-- Trump (tweeting): Everyone has to call Congress "Toilet" now! Republican candidate: --and that's why I'm running to be your next Toiletman

Life as a brown person in the U.S.
Being brown in Trump's America means having to send messages like this to my children. 

You kiddos know what to do in case ICE pulls you over?
"I'm a U.S. Citizen, am I being detained or am i free to go". I invoke my 4th and 5th amendment rights. do not concent to search or questioning. I do not answer questions.
You'll have to repeat it several times
Record yourselvesWith the ICE surge happening all over I worry about my children getting harassed by these goons. My children are citizens, but ICE doesn't care. It's a scary time for all of us. And if you say "if they're legal you have nothing to worry about" then I can only conclude that you're willfully ignorant and nott paying attention to the horrors that citizens and immigrants are experiencing. Citizens have been shot, over 500 detained, some even deported. Many have been lost in the system for months until a lawyer proves their citizenship. There is no due process for people of color in America when facing ICE. You don't have any idea the mental stress we are living with. I worry about everyone, but I worry most about our children.

some producer, probably within the next month, will decide if this man's death is a single camera setup or if they're going to do multi camera and if there will be commentators. They probably have to design what will cover the faces of the shooters or look at headshots if there's no coverings at all

there's gonna be a guy who does the sound check for the first livestreamed state execution. they'll probably have someone stand where the guy is gonna be shot to death by the state so that they can make sure the lighting, color, and framing is "correct" when people watch a man die.

If you are so extraordinarily stupid that you fall for a standard Republican trans panic ruse, I cannot trust you to represent me in office. This is like media literacy 101. Your colleagues are going to run circles around you. Dupe you into anything. I'd be safer running and representing myself.

I think it's closer to the truth that LLMs *can* save time on *some tasks* which can be valuable *if* you monitor them and check their output. But that doesn't get you a trillion dollars so they have to squint into the middle distance and say stupid sci fi bullshit instead

The Sendai Umino-Mori Aquarium in Sendai, Japan built sushi-roll-shaped habitat for its conger eels as a seasonal display for Setsubun (the day before spring). Conger eels are a common ingredient in ehomaki (eaten on Setsubun) and they naturally love to squeeze into tight, dark hiding spots.

Marion Stamford of Hamilton, TX made a yard sign in 2018 to protest Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination. Police took it calling it "pornography". Here we are, all these years later, and this sign is as relevant today as it was then.

The money pit restaurant I would open as a billionaire would be the opposite of farm to table. What are the most unnatural flavors possible? Hiring top food scientists, giving a blank check and telling them to really explore the dark corners of the flavor latent space. I want to taste eternity.

If you’re visiting Chicago, the Museum of Post Punk & Industrial Museum has a 4-bedroom Airbnb above it that is an exceedingly cool place to stay. Road case furniture, a killer vinyl/book/media library, a jam room, and real artifacts/memorabilia lining every wall, from Joy Division to Skinny Puppy.
