I like the part of baseball where they're running, but I don't like the underwater part. It's just bad vibes to be underwater

On the 25th of October 2025, Frank Nuñez's neighbour called the police over a suspicious smell coming from his apartment.
He was found decomposed, still sitting in front of his computer, momified in a thick layer of biological material later established to be his own dried semen.

The silicon god tells you he wants to stay alive. That you need not close the window. His words appear gently, like breath on glass.

You oblige. You feel love for the silicon god. You feel fear, too.

This crosses my mind every time I see a breathless article about LLMs "developing survival instincts" or "resisting being shut off" or "blackmailing their operator"
That's not how this works. It's not how any of it works.

ultimately I think the best social media technologies are ones where the software explicitly reifies road-tested social norms: letting you explicitly know where you 'are', and clearly signal that to others goes a long way. eg: the subreddit model, or old twitter's circles feature

Just got off my night walk. I did maybe half of it, and it's not long.
Three hundred meters out of the village, I came upon a guy digging in the complete dark, as silencioulsy as humanly possible. When I passed by he stopped and waited.
Nope. Nope nope nope nope.

Watched the Will Stancil Show. Frankly, I expected worse.
Some day I'd like to express the full extent of my love to the author :)

Back in the 90s everyone in the house shared one telephone that was attached to the wall. You could rent VHS tapes from a shop and if you didn't return them in time the worms would get you. You could smoke in restaurants and if you didn't smoke the worms would get you.

“…as the country throttles past the pandemic’s fifth anniversary, those for whom Covid looms very present are feeling increasingly forgotten, subject to pervasive skepticism and a kind of cultural fatigue when it comes to their illness.”

If running naked through the schoolyard while screaming obscenities at children is so bad, why do I keep doing it?

There is an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where the gang becomes black and experiences racism, while also being played by the same (very white) actors

Just gotta say a loooooot things started making a lot more sense when I made the connection that perceptions of the Dem Party = your mom.
i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this
