I would bet money that one of Schmitt's staffers did an AI search and it got close-ish to the team name and they never bothered to follow up past that.

Narrowed it down to "games that made me fundamentally reorganize my brain in some interesting way", which is imo where games shine over other forms of media. Still hard to narrow down to just 9, but they all expanded my understanding of what a game could be in some way my9games.com/en/s/c81f9d9...

But can I borrow money to place bets on Kalshi about whether other Kalshi users will default on their debt? 🤔

If you're mad as hell about this and have some $ to spare, immigrant support activists on the ground here in Austin told me that the Immigrant Support Fund is the best donation destination; Wilber's family (and others) are helped via this stream: givebutter.com/ZkFxFu

It's hard to say for certain, but I kinda think that software-only recursive self improvement of AIs would hit diminishing returns at some point well short of true super-intelligence, provided we don't also provide them with unlimited compute power. Humans still control the physical hardware.

Money that comes into the United States government is government revenue. It is part of the public fisc. There's not "taxpayer money" and then "extra bonus money outside the rules." It's all taxpayer money. And spending *any* of it requires Congressional authorization. 2/

It is bad for the future of left politics in the United States that the dream so many Americans have is not "live in a country where I am well compensated for my labor" but "acquire enough wealth so that I can have Passive Income as a landlord"

Devs like Marie want to make great games. But with the sword of layoffs poised over our heads, we are forced to split our attention between our work and the campaign to save our industry. #SaveGameWorkers by going to the link in our bio and telling Microsoft to take bargaining seriously.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

Just poured my friend a bubbling green drink that emitted a cloud of vapor in the shape of a cackling skull, but he refused to drink it. After I spent so long working on my cool skull drink! It did contain poison though

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

We've seen some questions pop up around layoffs: "well, if they were laid off, didn't that mean they weren't doing a good job? Maybe they deserved it." And on its face, that sounds logical and legitimate. Because the opposite would just be pure cruelty, right? ...Right? ...So here's the thing.
