This man never misses. This is even cooler than the Everests, which I did not believe was possible.
Fuck, so cool.
Fuck, so cool.
Embodying the same principles, the Sagarmatha [G] Type predates the current Everest pattern by more than a century. It still sees active use in some Union squads. Deployed in record numbers during the Committee Civil War, the Sagarmatha [G] Type is time-honored and battle-tested.

No, no, this seems really cool actually. No irony.
I was going to post “I post and I keep a diary. Dual weapons class”. Then I realized I also keep a system of indexed monthly personal & writing notes files using Apple notes, so I should add that to my brag. Then I realised doing all 3 makes me sound insane.
i can understand this urge a lot because i have never been one to keep a diary consistently. a lot of things other people use diaries for, i can only get out in conversations with others as audiences

Like it’s one thing for a group of people to say “I prefer to be called this” it’s another to TELL another whole country of diverse ethnicities and heritage that you will now be calling them something else.

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

An incredibly delightful thread that is surely worth your time.
OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

yeah just to be clear i was being kind of cheeky in my original post, what LLMs prove is that evil is a relatively consistent concept in the vast corpus of human language shoveled into their training. which is still me a somewhat surprising discovery! bsky.app/profile/nogh...
gonna be pedantic and point out that this means that this means that conceptually in the worlds described by human language there is an evil vector, i don't think it necessarily proves that there is an evil vector absent the involvement of human language and the ideas of evil encoded within
i'm going to sound sarcastic here but genuinely one of the most interesting aspects of LLMs is that they are proving that evil is real, by which i mean if you train them to do one bad thing they start doing other bad things that you have not trained them to do

there is a long Tibetan Buddhist practice of meditating upon foulness, such as the death and decay of the body or your own consumption by demons, in order to achieve enlightenment. I have developed a new school of thought where we meditate on this instead.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

Could the Epstein Files kerfuffle take down Trump? Sure, maybe. Which could end up with Russell Vought and Steve Miller transferring allegiance to a MJT or Tucker Carlson or whomever. Don't take your eye off the big picture. It's the fascism, stupid.
