the only threats "AI" poses to society are when people put it in charge of things that require thought, or crash the economy over it, or destroy the environment to power it. but it's people doing all of those things. AI poses zero threat by itself as it cannot do anything due to not existing

I think he really just wanted to sit in the big boy chair for status reasons, and now he wants to stay there for another round because losing so quickly would be humiliating. He doesn't seem like a complicated guy who does a lot of self-reflection - I really think it's as simple as it seems.

whatever happens the iranian approach of using the "make gas expensive" stick juxtaposed with the OR "lift sanctions and you and your coterie of ravening swindlers can come do 'investing' here" carrot demonstrates a keener understanding of dealing with the trump mind than most any US politician

I didn't stick with Returnal, but I figure a health bar is pretty essential in a game with a lot of procedural generation, and most especially a 3D game where you don't have a full view of your surroundings at all times. Like you suggest, a no-hit run is kind of a dice-roll, making it a grind.

To be clear I absolutely hate Leto and am loathe to give him this.

Hovering Torso @tinklepit.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
He's the best performance in it, but that's more a reflection of everyone else being clearly very uncomfortable (Leto had a cushy voice role and an easy, fun villain part). Idris Elba in particular is kinda shockingly bad in the latter part of the film - I didn't think that was possible.

She's stating some historical facts (in an annoying and ultimately misleading way) but she's not saying much that Graeber/Wengrow would disagree with. It's a rotten format but the hyperventilating discussion in response is at least as bad - which was the reason she posted the video (ie. it's bait).

the funkiest title font you'll possibly ever see with every letter a different (mostly dangerous) trap or enemy (the u is filled with green acid, the n's are long necked monsters, the e is spikes, the l is an open mouth with teeth, the d is an open door, the m is a skull spider, etc. the title font fills up the side of a passageway, which shows three adventurers (purple person, holding small weapon, black robed wizard, holding staff and a smaller person, holding something) walking left towards a staircase that leads down to a green dragon.

I think the event at OMSI went well. I included a lot of actual science facts I made up so, that helped. Thanks all! I was stunned at the audience size, and the support for the OMSI after dark series.
The differences:

Fen = a paranoid bog
Bog = a deep-thinking philosopher fen 
Marsh = a swamp that likes to sunbathe
Swamp = a gothic marsh

There are also:FEOGS, SWARSHES, BARSHES, FAMPS, and, um, cool little puddles in remote places called vernal ponds.

A mysterious planktonic creature, maybe 3-4cm long. I'm not sure what to make of it. I think it might be a cnidarian, but its five-appendaged mouth makes me wonder if it could be some larval echinoderm.

A haven for kisses, a dream come true.
With or without honey, they are a delight, A feast for the senses, a love that beats.
In its contour and lobe, my heart beats strong,
A rhythm that guides me towards true love.
Netanyahu's ears, oh what beauty!
A treasure that I treasure, with all my soul and my being."
