I write boring things for big companies that don't use my name. I write other things here and use my first name. I have two sweet dogs that wish the UPS man wouldn't ring the doorbell. (Same handle on Dead Bird site--account now dormant--and on Threads.)

I wrote:

Write an epic poem about an XCOM 2 playthrough as a metaphor for the fall of the American republic

America.gov replied:

I only answer questions about U.S. government services and official information. I cannot write political commentary or poems of that kind.

If you have a question about a federal program, benefit, or how-to step, ask that and I can help.

Related, when we get power I think we need to make a major project of bringing some kind of indictment against as many Trump-aligned people as possible, because you never know what we’ll find on their computers* when we get a warrant * csam, we will find csam on their computers

It occurs to me that the real brilliance of the Sopranos ending (officially “it’s up to you”, but actually “Tony got whacked”) is it permanently foreclosed any possibility of a sequel. Chase locked himself out of that option because doing it would require filling in the blank.

"What if the only way you could get home at night would be to ask the Nvidia GPU in your self-driving car" is a completely self-consistent good idea in Jensen's mind, as it will increase the TAM for Nvidia GPUs. He simply didn't have any other considerations than that when he said it.

It’ll be hard to punish anyone who can plausibly claim they weren’t sure the order was illegal but the good news is these einsteins are 100% all sending emails saying things like “Prez says he wants us to do some war crimes and Pete H says ‘make them extra warry-crimey’ ”

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

We have, at this convention, a vortex of sex and money, the two greatest motives for murder known to man. And yet, so far, all the evidence points to this being an assassination on the orders of a hypothetical...vengeful robot from the future! It's maddening!

I used to think “we’ll never really get to punish Peter Thiel, he’ll escape to Argentina or something“ and now I think we just need to grab his valet first, and when the FBI comes for Thiel they’ll find him rolling on his bedroom floor, desperately trying to put both feet in one of his trouser legs

like I suspect many of you on This Website, I think a core reason why I find Eliezer Yudkowsky and his rationalist and effective altruist satellites so intensely annoying is because I had a VERY similar “being a super weird, pretentious, hyper-literate kid” experience - I just, you know, grew up.

"You're making fun of queer people" I think most people are pretty sympathetic to the queer woman living out of her truck, $50k in debt, abandoned by her business partners, who thinks she is obligated to sit through 3.5 hour accountability sessions for the crime of wanting to keep the business open.

Speculation: It’s because—however cynical they may be about everything else—they genuinely, passionately believe in kissing the ass that is immediately in front of them. And billionaires pick up on that sincerity.

I really don’t love some of Talarico’s recent statements. But this is the context—there are a lot of Trump voters who despise Paxton, and Talarico is trying to be just non-threatening enough to let them stay home instead of holding their noses and voting GOP.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

I also am just going to be honest and say I'm tired of humoring the online "covid conscious" when their desired solutions are not supported by research, not workable, and in many cases bordering on vaccine denial (denying that vaccines are effective at reducing spread/severity is denial)
