Interested in SF, science, games both video and tabletop, a little bit of finance & economics, and alas US and Canadian politics because I have to. Used to write until I went broke trying.

I love you Dr. Mike, this is so gooddddddd 🤣
Defending MAHA and its pseudoscience is an exercise in motivated reasoning and mental gymnastics, not scientific thinking.

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask.
Having a WOMAN play Helen of Troy??? Talk about inaccurate. The Greeks would fucking riot.

Far-right Americans want you to believe that having nice things is impossible, and that serving billionaires is the only thing you can do.
This is a lie. The rest of the world has solved many problems Republicans pretend are impossible.

Motherhood costs Danish women an average of $120,000 in earnings over two decades, according to a sociologist who researches family and economics. Generous government benefits like paid leave, childcare and child allowances recovered about $100,000 of that loss. buff.ly/pAtuCS0
Denmark’s generous child care and parental leave policies erase 80% of the ‘motherhood penalty’ for working moms
Two researchers found that Danish government benefits do not fully offset moms’ lost earnings. But they do help offset lost income for working women with kids.

Christopher Nolan has cast a Genovian as Penelope and a Bostonian as Odysseus. And they will be speaking English, a language that did not exist in antiquity. This whole production is pure chaos.
Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

A good call with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark today.
Greenland’s future is for Greenland and Denmark alone to decide. We reaffirmed our commitment to sovereignty and territorial integrity and discussed our ongoing work to strengthen Arctic security.

Years of covering the business have taught me that “investors” and executives are thick skulled, irrational, impulsive children.
I cannot emphasize enough how comprehensive their stupidity is, but their cultlike devotion to regurgitative AI really helps get the point across.

Google's new AI 'world model' has seemingly spooked videogame investors, but it's hard to know what it will actually lead to
Can auto-generated "worlds" really be exciting?

Here's Curtis Yarvin showing he knows nothing about the history of civil disobedience.
Henry David Thoreau invented the term in 1849, to describe practices that had existed long before that.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

I over-cooked the bacon for brunch a bit, which wouldn't be such a problem had my range hood suddenly decide not to work anymore *and* were my windows not frozen shut.
I'm hoping the smoke alarm doesn't sound; I'm still in PJs.
