I’ll probably bungle this explanation, so please give me grace. But having kids of my own has solidified my belief, formed when I teaching, that letting your boys be “raised by the internet” is a sure-fire way to raise a dangerous abuser. It’s not a safe place. It’s not entertaining.

I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

The overwhelming story behind sexual abuse cases---from Epstein to the Catholic Church to Larry Nassar to the most banal and petty cruelties imaginable---is rarely that there is a conspiracy to hide it, but rather that nobody in a position of power particularly cares about it.

if you read nothing else from rodger sherman in your entire life please read these paragraphs from the end of his newsletter, possibly the most important paragraphs anyone has ever written about Team USA

Throughout these Olympics, people asked me why I was cheering for Team USA at this bleak moment in American history. I get it! Our government is a nightmare, causing endless harm internationally and at home. Abroad, they’re picking needless fights with our closest allies — remember what I said about Donald Trump reposting AI-generated videos of himself punching imaginary Canadians in the face? And domestically, they’re building camps for immigrants, and sending masked goons to brutalize and occasionally murder our neighbors in our streets.

So yeah. It felt weird being patriotic during these Olympics. Many Team USA athletes said so themselves.

But America is so much bigger than Donald Trump and his evil government.

The flag that flies when an American athlete wins a gold medal isn’t Donald Trump’s flag. It’s ours. The anthem that plays isn’t Donald Trump’s song. It’s ours. If we refuse to celebrate what’s great about our country because of the people trying to ruin it, they’ve already succeeded.

There’s a reason Trump and his administration didn’t celebrate most of Team USA’s wins. (Except the men’s hockey team. I wonder why...) The bigots in charge of our country like to claim that our diversity makes us weaker. Every two years, Team USA proves otherwise at the Olympics. Americans of every race, every background, and every orientation show that they can work together to become the best in the world.

Americans of every race, every background, and every orientation show that they can work together to become the best in the world.

This year’s Team USA featured all sorts of Americans this administration hates. While this administration tries to demonize immigrants and forcibly remove them from our country, nearly one-fifth of Team USA were immigrants or the children of immigrants, like naturalized citizen Kaillie Humphries and first-generation American Alysa Liu. While this administration cracks down on LGBTQ+ rights, Team USA had Hilary Knight getting engaged to Brittany Bowe before winning a gold medal. While this administration tries to reimagine America as a white ethnostate, Team USA had Black gold medalists like Elana Meyers Taylor and Laila Edwards. I could keep going.

Watching Team USA have their best Winter Olympics ever was a much-needed reminder of all the reasons we can’t give up on this whole America thing. The Trump administration is the worst of us. Team USA is the best of us. Why on earth would we let the worst thing about our country dampen our love for the best things about our country?

WE'RE ALL LOOKING FOR THE GUY WHO DID THIS

Sankar: Yeah, I want the models to get more powerful. That’s great.

But the analogy I’d give you, it’s like electricity: just producing electricity is not valuable. You have to actually be able to consume it. The valuable part were the people who built the machine tools that ran on electricity that powered the industrial age. Of course, producing electricity is a precondition to that, but we’re so skewed to one side of this equation — the supply side — we’re not thinking about the demand side in a way that’s productive.

This is where I do worry about China, because I don’t think they have the same A.G.I. fantasies we do. Their explicit strategy is to be the best at implementing A.I. for economic value. That’s what we should be doing.

Ghost turnip, Fintown, County Donegal, Ireland, c. 1900 (replica), National Museum of Ireland

Frightening face carved into a turnip to place a candle in

"In 1943 the National Museum of Ireland received a turnip lantern from a schoolteacher, Rois Ní Braonáin who was teaching near Fintown, Co. Donegal. She stated that it was the type that was always made in that locality around 1900. This plaster-cast model was created and painted by the museum artist, Eileen Barnes.

Candles were placed inside the turnips and they were used to frighten people on the night of 31 October. The pumpkin that is prevalent today is an American development of this Irish tradition." https://www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collections-Research/Collection/Top-things-to-see-in-the-Irish-Folklife-Collection/Artefact/Ghost-turnip/b202e8ea-0728-4b3d-b0f1-82660fe45ce9

Lucy van Pelt has finally gone too far. But she will be brought to justice

Part 1 of 4

A Peanuts Comic. Once again Lucy has goaded Charlie Brown into trying to kick a football, and (as usual) she jerks the ball away at the last second, sending Charlie flying into the air.

This time however Charlie lands heavily on his neck and is killed instantly.

Part 2 of 4

Lucy kicks Charlie Brown to check if he’s dead. Which he is.
Exasperated, and worried she’ll be blamed for his death, Lucy begins to drag Charlie’s now lifeless body towards the creek.

Part 3 of 4

Lucy dumps poor ol’ Charlie Brown into the creek and watches him float away.

Part 4 of 4

Lucy heads back to Charlie Brown’s backyard to pick a fight with Snoopy in order to establish an alibi.

Unfortunately a disheveled, crumpled man with a cigar is already there.

“Miss, have y’seen this dog? He’s best friends with a BIRD. Can you believe that?”

That’s right folks. Columbo is here to avenge Charlie Brown.

Hot take: The way some people on here talk about mutual aid as if it should be a replacement for government aid programs is just the evangelical, "churches should do charity not the government," but for atheists. It's a fundamentally right wing way of understanding how the world works.
