No one asked for my Cosmere takes but oh well. I just need people who *haven't* read any/much Sanderson and hear people online dismissing it as paint-by-numbers male-centric user-friendly fantasy slop that's popular because it's accessible and generic to understand that that is just not true.

Check out this amazing project so many of us at Performant Software have been working on for the past couple of years. We can't wait for the launch and for everyone to see it!

SILKSONG SPOILERS ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I'm still processing it all but god damn there's a whole paper to be written about Silksong and HK as a meditation on parenthood and what it means to create life and the selfishness of imposing legacy on our children in ways that deny their personhood.

If anyone sees a tiktok or something being like ha ha this loser on my flight just spent an hour and a half dying to this early game Silksong enemy, that was me, I'll own it. 😇🕷

Chonky bone enemy from Hunter's March

It's been so many years of the word "silksong" being a constant meme that the actual semantics of the name never really sunk in before playing it. The role of music and sound in this game is absolutely S-tier. I'm utterly blown away.

Fuck the @nytimes and all journalism that takes this passive "people are saying" approach to the truth. Democrats condemned the attack as unconstitutional BECAUSE IT IS. It's your job to say that. It's your job to contextualize and fact-check, not just quote both sides and shrug.

NYT quote: "Republicans, including Mike Johnson and John Thune, rallied behind Trump, calling the strikes a necessary check on Iran's nuclear efforts. Some, including Mitch McConnell, criticized the strikes. Democrats condemned the attack as unconstitutional and warned that it could drag the US into a long war."

I'm starting to see posts like "but if you use LLMs intelligently they can be a great tool in learning, it's making knowledge accessible, you just have to use it right!" and like okay but then sort of by definition you are not doing anything you couldn't do without the LLM.

One way in which capitalism and cisheteropatriarchy are intertwined is in the pressure to extract continuing profit via "next gen" spinoffs, incentivizing compulsory heterosexuality in media. As such, we can see mpreg as an important tool in disentangling the patriarchocapitalist complex. In this es

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Super Bowl blowouts usually suck but this one is a work of art, just a complete middle finger to everything that’s happening

I don't want to sound..... I dunno, insufficiently negative? But I was afraid this whole super bowl would have the vibe of jingoism and white supremacy and general celebration of the new regime but it hasn't? So far? I've found all the pregame and halftime performances really powerful.

Insofar as we understand "left," as a grand historical tradition, to mean a pro-labor political movement, and we understand "liberal" to mean value pluralism and constitutional democracy, they need each other and obviously always have.

Taking a stand in these divided times and saying that I love the Super Bowl scorebug. It's charmingly old-fashioned and it presents the info legibly and simply. Y'all just don't appreciate the classic aesthetic.

I give Alex Cazellnu a lot of shit for being a mouthpiece of the patriarchy, and rightly so, but I'm feeling a renewed appreciation of the fact that at least he is a bureaucrat who made personal sacrifices to attempt to stand on the side of democracy.
