if you see me in target, approach me like an ursine mammal
Philosophers often bring up the "principle of charity": a willingness to assume good faith in an interlocutor and treat them accordingly. It's good to do in many circumstances. But it is worth formulating a principle of not being a fucking mark. If not during the rise of fascism, then when? 12/
I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.
i've been watching the aoc egg freezing videos and they're unbelievably charming. unfortunately i would die for her
me: god i am so sad why my uterus: it's because of me you dumb bitch haha
must’ve been terrible to date AOC as a regular man because one minute you’re dating a bartender who’s a bit out of your league and the next there are tabloid stories like “you’re not gonna believe how ugly this guy is”
this is a really good article and I kind of have to admire the researchers selling organoids as "AI-like" and not the 3000 other uses for organoids (basic research, drug testing, alzheimer's and aging research etc)
AI Is Dead. Organoids Are Alive
Mini human brains are being grown in labs all over the world. Soon, they could outthink neural networks.

I end up being kind of an extremist about native american history because i'm non-native but my parents are historians and they taught me things like, this stuff really happened, everyone was very upfront about it and documented why they did it (cultural genocide, widespread murder, theft etc)
the two genres of japan travel videos are sexy baby or british man who is absolutely beside himself. both of them feel inappropriately sexual
i went to tuscany years before i saw this meme and had this exact thought. the central valley is nice!!
sick public transit, gloria@seung.bsky.social · 5d agoone Californian generational divide is older folks who idolize Italy, esp the wine regions, as the pinnacle of culture, grace, and tradition and the younger folks who post stuff like this imo
imagine the arrogance it takes to be a marine mammal. you crawl out of the vast dark ocean and onto green sunny land and decide to crawl back in again?

Trump is attacking California’s ability to protect its coastline. The consequences are 'chilling'
Citing "environmental extremism," Trump officials want to end California’s ability to challenge offshore oil, floating nuclear reactors and rocket launches.

as a longtime rolis appreciator i'm not totally joking when i say i think he should get the nobel prize in literature

It is just unequivocally really really relay good that we did not nominate someone who holds a view that is representative of 5% of the Democratic Party electorate on an issue that is only increasingly divisive.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · last wk.Senator is actually one of the jobs where your views on foreign policy matter most and it's a genuinely incredible thing that the Democratic candidate for Michigan is someone who wants to end aid to Israel, Egypt and the UAE and not a mindless drone who wanted to give Netanyahu another $20B.
there's a new historical k drama with nam joo-hyuk cutting people's heads off and scheming councilors and joseon era hats BUT they appear to have filmed it on a marvel soundstage and i am not sure i have 20 hour long episodes of that in me
I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
went on a walk to commune with nature and see what the sea lions were up to and there were 40 tourists shining their phone flashlights directly into the eyes of sea lions in obvious distress from about two feet away
me, needing to be reading something literally every second i'm awake or i think i might die: wow the 10,000 things i'm reading this morning are really annoying. like bitch go outside. or at least read *a book*
the argument that "people just haven't figured out how to use LLMs but they're powerful tools (and therefore any criticism of them is wrong)" is so libertarian at its core. companies can release literally anything to make money in the short term and it's your fault if it hurts you
the news has left me with some questions that have not been answered in the pieces I've read, like why does Spain own a piece of Morocco they have heavily fortified against Moroccans
No one has ever had more faith in me than the people who put three inches between their cars and mine on a 30 degree hill. I wriggled out in the end but I would not have bet money on that outcome
You can just decide to post bad all day if you want. It's not a big deal. Nobody is looking at this website but us.
putting a sex scene in oppenheimer but not the odyssey is wild though. can we all agree on that at least
Here's the unspoken thing: the livability of the planet in my middle age depends on a rapid shift in American politics that simply may not happen, and it will be especially unreachable if we do the same concessions to dark money funded doubtmongering on the climate side as we're debating with MAHA
it's hard for english people and americans to communicate because english people think they're indirect shrinking violets who would never say what they really mean and their true feelings are unknowable to all including themselves but in practice compared to americans they might as well be dutch
When Minnesotans speak today of living on "stolen land," the theft — and it really was a great swindle — took place 175 years ago today. The treaty that stripped Minnesota from the Dakota people, from this AM's @axios.com newsletter >> www.axios.com/local/twin-c...
175 years ago today, this treaty stripped Minnesota from the Dakota
The 1851 treaty is the great double-cross that set Minnesota on its course to statehood.

As the owner of several AMC theater franchises, you can imagine I'm extremely left wing. But I bet you didn't realize I'm so left wing that I'm willing to bleed thousands of dollars every time I show the Odyssey to an empty IMAX theater to create the impression that a black actress is pretty.
had someone come up to me at work to have a long discussion about how he saw our students (who are mexican, might be related) "stealing" the things they are working on from the lab's public garden and like what in the witch from rapunzel is this
