I feel increasingly dissociated from Secret Lairs. The production/announcement cycle is too overwhelming to bring myself to care about what is coming soon.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Dave misplaced his Vintage deck filled with cards like Black Lotus at a local restaurant. Brian, an employee there, found the deck and somehow tracked Dave down at the EW and got him his deck back. What an amazing and touching story!

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

Same with social media.I think about this a lot, how we also shift our shopping options, too. And in most cases there are no choices left.
Dragging your work laboriously from site to site, platform to platform, as they pivot to fascism or go plain mad or start plundering your work, or scalping more of your money, is now the everyday experience of “making stuff.”
It’s all so miserable.
This wasn’t the promise. It’s like rot.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
![[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihjvnz2ttxl7z4a2b3a4kylubobgvqxmjhwz6yuetuztzoc4g2s4y@jpeg)

Never forget and never forgive the people who voted for this, and did this to us.
When this is all over, and they want to "move past it", don't let them. Make them own this for the rest of their (hopefully) miserable lives.

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.
Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

Hulk Hogan revealed who he was as a person a while back, and I stopped having any sort of positive association with him accordingly. If I’m sad for anything, it’s that the character I fell in love with as a kid was just a character, and the world that kid lived in died a long time ago.

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.
I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Tell me something good, no matter how small, from your past couple of days. Could be super tiny; a nice sunset, a tasty meal, anything counts.
No bad things, just good. Thanks in advance!

to all the new MTG players that the final fantasy set has attracted:
Amazon sellers (etc) will open packs, replace high value cards with cheap cards, reseal the pack, and send them to you.
this also often happens at stores that resell packs (ex: half price books)
buy from your local game shop!!
