Honestly, if someone is suggesting importing the policies of small Scandinavian countries to the US, I think having lived in both places for several years at least is a reasonable expectation. I think the things that make America great also make collectivist policies really challenging here

Hey I’m planning a project here and just want to check: It’s best practice these days to sew the seeds of your own eventual defeat into your victory conditions, right?
reading this thread like "haha what a coincidence this person who's talking about the odyssey is named is emily wilson" and then clicking on their profile and being like oh that actually is Emily Wilson
EMILY WILSON@emilyrcwilson.bsky.social · 2w agoThere is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

The asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...

Just tested positive for covid after a (pretty large) work event this weekend. I'm not the only one. (If you were there, maybe do a quick swab.) I am wondering if we'll actually be able to see this event in the Madison wastewater graph: www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/wastewater/c...

I would think that a company with Anthropic's resources would be able to update their plans / pricing page to reflect reality rather than relying on Twitter posts combined with "whatever the tools seem to be actually doing at the moment." Like, you have 5k+ staff. Put one comms person on this
To his credit he does eventually get bored with both of those other women. That’s a kind of loyalty, right?
Sara Ghaleb@saraghaleb.bsky.social · 2w agoThe original Odyssey is so funny because it's like "Odysseus took 10 years to get back to his family because he had so many adventures and the Gods were never on his side. Also, 8 of those years were spent sleeping with other women."

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social · 3w agoI'm getting mixed signals. Should they broadcast Trump's speech, or do they have an obligation to operate in the public interest? Because they sure as hell can't do both.
