Concentration camp in Montana. Huge concentration camp. I did not know about this. Does everyone else know about it?
He will be horrified to find that we did, in fact, build the camps.

1 Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
hadn't heard of this guy until he died and then 1) turns out he published a piece *openly* talking about how he wants to fuck high school children 2) all the TERFs/GCs warmly memorialized him
Rod Liddle was a piece of shit in both his private and public life, and it speaks to the state of British media that they're praising the man. He presaged the steep downward decline of British broadsheet print columnists into increasingly open racism, misogyny, and hatred of queer people.
Premise: Tensions flair when three flatmates in London discover a hidden room in their building.

Constant gripe with films or TV, do they realistically reflect local rent and salary. Yet to see film set in a big metropolis in 2020s, where 30-something professional scraps it paycheck to paycheck while co-living with 6 strangers.
I don't know, but I'm getting worried about how the failure of Trump to get what he wants from this will collide with midterm elections. How the people around him will respond as much as Trump himself.
There's a certain sense of relief in reading a news story that acknowledges this as the 6 month war that it is, rather than a series of peace negotiations intersperced by U.S. having no choice but to bomb another bridge.
It curious that press inside the Gulf region is reporting on a tactical retreat of US forces from outposts in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and other localities. But there are no statements from the Pentagon about this, not any discussion in US media... which is generally poorly informed anyway.
Looking at this map: we should plant trees.
Our world is a tinderbox as we approach 1.5C above preindustrial temps. We’re locked in for at least 2C, & on track for 4C in our children’s ‘lifetimes’. Tumbleweeds as we wait for governments, the media & the public to provide a proportionate response to this information.

Relatedly, @unrealengine.bsky.social is trying to get users programming everything in all-encompassing frameworks, and that has to lead towards some kinds of homogeneity. I feel like the "interesting" stuff will always be what millions of people aren't doing, almost tautologically.
What percentage of time in Roblox is spent making games rather than playing games? If you can just spin up any game in seconds, that's pretty much like yeeting a percentage of users.

Roblox's new "Build" feature lets users generate basic games using a single text prompt.
"chris you help people make games so you must like-" Reasons I help people make games: -learn useful, real skills -teamwork between different backgrounds -practice long-term planning and follow through like saying coach we can simulate a sport, nobody needs to get in shape, practice, work together

I struggle to understand why anyone would ever be persuaded by the idea that cis women have an inalienable right not to have trans women around that trumps trans women’s right to just live their lives.
I would love to know how Thomas Nashe died (1601?), and the content of his lost play, The Isle of Dogs. Nashe's apology for the play caused all his works to be banned in 1599. There are many contemporary references to his death two years later, but no details. lostplays.folger.edu/Isle_of_Dogs...

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
There's a group of people who for 40 years have dreamed of carving up the country into a dozen estates and factory-farming the rest of us, selling our services abroad at the cheapest rate. All they have to do is destroy any and all rival aspirations.

There’s a lot of podcasts out there with two funny people and one person who is so bad that they bring the entire thing down and I don’t know how you solve that because if someone has agreed to be on a podcast with you you’re basically married

We're seeing a clear winner emerging between the Beef people and the Car Payments people.
RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"
This is fundamentally it. The United States is a lawless society now. There's really no question. If you've got the right backers and the right profile, you can get away with whatever the hell you want.
“Tommy loving” is a very apt description for the women of ‘Let Women Speak’ and ‘Women’s Rights Network’.

Came across a poem by Mervyn Peake entitled "To Live at all is Miracle Enough". Check out this stanza: Let every painter paint and poet sing And all the sons of music ply their trade; Machines are weaker than a beetle’s wing.

No, this is never going to work. No studio can compete with millions of idiots just trying stuff and an algorithm to winnow out the hits. A billion idiots could never make Citizen Kane, but no studio could ever make "Hawk Tuah"
It’s crazy to me this isn’t a daily refrain from Democrats.
