In Brazil's election, Mark Zuckerberg is interfering in favor of far-right politicians. In the US election, Elon Musk is the biggest donor to far-right politicians.

It’s like 1999, he doesn’t really have the vocabulary to know he’s demi. Unfortunately, neither does Vanilla Bean a.k.a. Beanie

Comic: Young teen Alexander is walking with his horse through some woods. He says “What if they’re all right about me…?” He leans against a tree, looking distressed. “Why can’t I just be into girls like a normal person?” He hugs the horse around the neck. “Oh, Beanie, I don’t think I could deal with being gay…” He cries out with a burst of emotion, “I don’t even *like* men!”

The key question to ask is "why is a story about a lesbian bar in Massachusetts being treated as national news?" and the answer is "despite the fact that the most extreme Covid denialists/skeptics currently shape US public health policy, the media wants you angry at the most Covid cautious folk."

I actually think it’s a privileged as fuck thing to crash out on bsky over a state you don’t live in and that could in the future maybe affect you but at this juncture it affects us most immediately. And maybe instead of writing us off as bumble fuck states you touch some grass

When you hear a fantastical story about AI, you should ask yourself, "How does this serve the political project of AI?" Because, as others have pointed out, that's what AI really amounts to: a political project.

The most generous assessment is that this was shitty, lazy engineering; the more in-character scenario is that the sandbox was intentionally breakable because of the story it would generate. Whichever you believe, the story is not "OMG, they made AGI!"

The OpenAI "breaking containment" story stems from the company's own failure to build a secure sandbox. They relied on a single local proxy to "contain" the program. They could have air-gapped the thing. It's not like they lack resources. It was advantageous to them for the agent to "get loose."

The Anthropic, Meta, and Google "breaking containment" incidents all resulted from setup errors (or a stunt) by the same company: Irregular. Irregular created a sandbox that wasn't really a sandbox because it had a live internet connection, and gave instructions that were then carried out online.

The idea that we are fundamentally averse to the idea that machines can think is BS. Human beings are actually very much inclined to believe machines can think. Our sci-fi sense of wonder is being exploited by charlatans. We do not accept PR and propaganda that are wholly unsupported by the facts.

Interview with the Doctor

A four panel comic featuring Janine smoking a cigarette, speaking stoically to the reader.

“It's common for those who don't know me to make that accusation, but it's not accurate.”
“I am not ‘unfeeling.’ I just have routine procedures I utilize to manage my emotions.”
“When I'm happy, I fuck my husband.”
“When I'm angry, I punish those responsible.
The final panel zooms to a closeup.
“And if I want to cry, I watch Titanic.”

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.
