Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

Working on a thought-tool called "stupid drunk guy in a bar". Works like this: If the take you're responding to is essentially being mumbled by a clearly very stupid drunk guy in the bar you're at, is it worth starting a big public discussion with him?
Today we've decided to center:
- some genre author with fewer than 2k followers who said something insipid about an industry where he has no relevant experience or connection
- a Cato Institute ghoul with the handle "normative" and a substack smugly saying we need to be more serious about eugenics

I made a warm colour theme with full specification. Digital Rust is a warm, tech-dystopian color scheme inspired by corrupted hardware and failing systems. I hope you like it!

Looking back on Flood Order almost 10 years later (January!), I have to say: I am still *really* proud of it. For something written just after Stevenbomb 4, the fact that I would not change one single thing about the order after #StevenUniverse Future/Movie is a testament to how much went into it.

it's not a big deal or anything, but i find it strange that stock Android *still* doesn't let you do anything with custom fonts. it seems such an obvious thing for an open source system.

If this reminds you of an extremely famous book you might have read in high school… yes.
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

One thing you will never ever see is cops actually protecting protesters, regardless of circumstance. It's against their very nature. Even with their city under assault by the federal government, cops go after protesters like dogs after a cat.
Unless those protesters have swastika flags.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.
