Always work as hard as you can, and you're bound to succeed eventually, (that's how I made it this far).

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

Neither Montana nor California have legalized in-app gambling and the fact that those two very different states agree on this should be a signal to everywhere else.

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else?

What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

I know posting excerpts from 1984 is passé but this is literally the fifth page of 1984
April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean. Audience much amused by shots of a great huge fat man trying to swim away with a helicopter after him, first you saw him wallowing along in the water like a porpoise, then you saw him through the helicopters gunsights, then he was full of holes and the sea round him turned pink and he sank as suddenly as though the holes had let in the water, audience shouting with laughter when he sank. then you saw a lifeboat full of children with a helicopter hovering over it. there was a middle-aged woman might have been a jewess sitting up in the bow with a little boy about three years old in her arms. little boy screaming with fright and hiding his head between her breasts as if he was trying to burrow right into her and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting him although she was blue with fright herself, all the time covering him up as much as possible as if she thought her arms could keep the bullets off him. then the helicopter planted a 20 kilo bomb in among them terrific flash and the boat went all to matchwood. then there was a wonderful shot of a child's arm going up up up right up into the air a helicopter with a camera in its nose must have followed it up and there was a lot of applause from the party seats but a woman down in the prole part of the house suddenly started kicking up a fuss and shouting they didnt oughter of showed it not in front of kids they didnt it aint right not in front of kids it aint until the police turned her turned her out i dont suppose anything happened to her nobody cares what the proles say typical prole reaction they never --

I don’t think I’m taking the ethical baggage into account. I just think ancestor theologies featuring flawed and limited guidance is more reflective of the actual human state and story than perfect omnipotence, which creates just a huge amount of theological problems.

Just saw Superman, phenomenal film. Loved the focus on Clark's inherent goodness and always doing his best to save everyone. Saving people is the purpose of superheroes, and this movie nailed it.

And Superman as the "champion of the oppressed" really hits home nowadays. God what a great film.

THEY REMOVED THE SIGNAGE FROM THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

@anyaustin.bsky.social I made the pilgrimage to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and found something unfortunate (I promise I'm not in DC for yesterday's military parade just unrelated personal things).

Listening to @hankgreen.bsky.social's newest vlog while finishing a video edit – and when he name-dropped Daoism and Effortless Action, I think I actually felt the stars aligning, in real life, at my desk.
Borderline magical.

Two screens. On the bottom, Hank Green talks about Daoism and the concept of Non-Action. On the top, my editing software as I edit a video about Daoism, with the words "Wu Wei: Effortless Action, Non-Action"

Always think about Ted Chiang's writing about accelerationism in response to stories like these
(www.newyorker.com/science/anna...)
Accelerationism says that it’s futile to try to oppose or reform capitalism; instead, we have to exacerbate capitalism’s worst tendencies until the entire system breaks down. The only way to move beyond capitalism is to stomp on the gas pedal of neoliberalism until the engine explodes. I suppose this is one way to bring about a better world, but, if it’s the approach that the A.I. industry is adopting, I want to make sure everyone is clear about what they’re working toward. By building A.I. to do jobs previously performed by people, A.I. researchers are increasing the concentration of wealth to such extreme levels that the only way to avoid societal collapse is for the government to step in. Intentionally or not, this is very similar to voting for Trump with the goal of bringing about a better world. And the rise of Trump illustrates the risks of pursuing accelerationism as a strategy: things can get very bad, and stay very bad for a long time, before they get better. In fact, you have no idea of how long it will take for things to get better; all you can be sure of is that there will be significant pain and suffering in the short and medium term.

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

OK, people have brought up "Greenwich Median time" an "Greenwich Mode Time" but because this is a super smooth distribution, Greenwich Median Time would be (I think) exactly the same as Greenwich Mean Time and because times are not absolute values, Greenwich Mode Time cannot exist.

I’m going to pull my teeth out if the left tears itself apart over whether Pete or AOC would be a better candidate while Trump dismantles every single check on his power.

Let’s have the debate while deep down adoring both of them as insanely smart, principled politicians that we are lucky to have.

It's really hard to make videos about all of the cool science coming out all of the time.

I really appreciate Trump trying to help me out with this problem by making it so no new science comes out ever.

I wonder if giant megacorps who can afford to purchase access to the president getting tariff exemptions will be good or bad for small businesses 🤔

Guess where they got their weird trade deficit math from?
A tweet by "rohit" discusses the application of AI in geopolitics, specifically focusing on tariffs, and includes a table comparing tariff rates between China and the US.
