Re Worse On Purpose: I'm not a purity tester; I don't need to agree with every take someone has in order to enjoy their work. But after doing a bunch of reading, I'm gonna give this whole enterprise the side-eye. "Wary of means and ends," indeed (a shame, given the need for this kind of resource)
@skatuin.bsky.social · 2w agoKind of interesting- but the author,Keyana Sapp, worked for Palantir 2025-26 (according to his LinkedIn profile) and also had an AI company. This leads me to be wary of the means and ends of the blog. www.linkedin.com/in/keyanasapp/ news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4785...

Death might be the only thing every person has in common. It's as normal as breathing. So why would we treat it as some sort of special, absolving state, some barrier beyond which you transcend what your life was? If you use your one life to harm others, expect them to be happy when it ends.

NEW COVER for Mitsuda month! Finally leaving his PS1 era and skipping ahead 20+ years with an example of his glorious knack for powerful, emotional pop songwriting, which seems to be his primary focus these days: A Step Away - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (full vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyK_...)
I did beat their supervisor! But I missed a couple fake ones and misidentified a real one. (Reverse image search would probably have helped...) I'm interested in how many I went with gut feeling on, and how those were universally correct.
