Voltaireon - 5 caustic French philosophers in a trenchcoat @shaidorsai.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
The thing that so many dudes seem to forget about the Devil’s Advocate stance is that it’s there to stress-test the original proposition, not as a standalone position. It’s good to check and make sure assertions are valid! It’s not good to be reflexively and stubbornly contrarian!

I found this framing very interesting. Personally, I'm an existential animist. I think it's possible that the sky enjoys making exuberant sunsets (a la Sagan's "we are the universe perceiving itself") but the only meaning it has *is* the exuberance

Back to the matter at hand: Bird Jace's cloaca. Presumably, this is a manticore-type situation, where Bird Jace has the body of a bird and the head of human Jace. Assuming Bird Jace doesn't have human genitals and digestive track, it's safe to assume that yes, Bird Jace DOES have a cloaca.

I'll be calling the offices my representative Hillary Scholten today. I don't have any demands, I just want to let her know that I'll be engaged and working the next two years to help find her primary challenger and get them elected. I want an opposition party, not whatever the fuck this is.

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

Hey everybody. I’ve seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he’s lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game.

With ALT text. It also should be noted that all of those things are still available. Stop using genAI & search on your own. The reality is that living under capitalism means they will monetize anything they can get their hands on & convince you that you need to buy it from them. You don't.

Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.

The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts, & answers for free.

AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.

And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.

We built the library.

Someone else started charging admission.
