Must-watch: A powerful performance of a pro-immigrant Shakespeare speech by Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert's show; it resonates powerfully today. "This is the strangers' case; And this your mountainish inhumanity." [kottke.org]
The Strangers’ Case
I don’t normally say this, but if you watch one thing on kottke.org today, this week, this month, make it this speech written by Shakespeare and performed by Sir Ian McKellen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

I knew Unreal Engine was used in Hollywood, but I didnt realize they are using UE3.
Just marvelling at how absolutely real that new Michael Jackson biopic looks.

People seem surprised a genocide denier who spent 60 years excusing almost every mass murderer in the world is ok hanging out with a man running an international child sex ring.

I'm convinced one of the reasons epstein was able to coast for so long is that for many sensible people including and especially educated liberals, viewing the world through a conspiratorial lens was always seen as vaguely distasteful and rube-coded
as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

Epstein is like pervert forest gump.
Nearly missed this one but Epstein was sending SOMEONE to the Yuri board back in fucking 2011. That's when MY ass was active on site. This is insane to think about.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

So did Jeffrey Epstein go to DEFCON in 2016 with the former Prime Minister of Israel and the Hyatt Hotels guy along with “4 girls”?

"Luchs speaks five languages: English, French, Italian, and some German and Russian. She approached grasping Gen Z parlance like she was learning another language.

...An Instagram commenter wrote: 'She’s so natural with it too like it’s not even cringe.'"
Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

Little thread where I talk about subpixel animation and share some of my own resources I made to study it better.

This is a circle I rendered in blender slowly crawling up 2 pixels over the course of 17 frames.

I'm showing the aliased version first and I'm going to break down what's happening here

I'm trying a new "see how well AI image gen is" test. This time I'm going to ask it to draw a map of the world, and then zoom in to Europe, the UK, Yorkshire and York to see when things start to get hazy.

All of these are with the free models using the smart/thinking variants. 1/n

Because not using AI tools for what they excel at produces less secure code.

For example, they are great at debugging (words.filippo.io/claude-debug...), they can find real issues in code review, they know more math than me, and they can write static analyzers I would have never had the time for.
