Also a good reminder to all the doomers out there.
"I’m Ta-Nehisi Coates, I’m the writer, I’m the individual, right? But I am part of something larger, and I’ve always felt myself as part of something larger. I have a tradition, I have ancestry, I have heritage. What that means is that I do whatever I do within the time that I have in my life, whatever time I’m gifted with, and much of what I do is built on what other people did before them. Then, after that, I leave the struggle where I leave it, and hopefully, it’s in a better place. Oftentimes it’s not. That’s the history in fact. And then my progeny, they pick it up, and they keep it going. I am descended from people who, in their lifetime, fought with all their might for the destruction of chattel slavery in this country. And they never saw it. They never saw it. In my personal belief system, they died in defeat, in darkness. So I guess the privilege that I draw out of this, the honor that I draw out of this, is not that things will necessarily be better in my lifetime, but that I will make the contribution that I am supposed to make."

Oh, he's an individual now, is he? Some kind of independent thinker? The sort of person who wouldn't join a club which would have him as a member, perhaps?

Well, I wasn't laughing until you gave me the distinct impression you believe witches killed Charlie Kirk, but I definitely am now.

Thank you, Tumblr user who made this so it could be posted to a Discord by someone else and subsequently posted by me, a person who respects you but not enough to do the due diligence required for proper credit.

I like to provide data to megacorporations.
Screenshot of a Google Feedback form for its Gemini AI services (which have been forced upon all Workspace users). It tags the service as "Offensive/unsafe" and includes the following additional comments: "Please just accept that Gemini and its ilk do not work well and the path to making it work well is impossible owing to the unavailability of training data, and increasing compute requirements, let alone the energy cost contributing to climate change. Cut your losses and minimize the catastrophic economic damage continuing to pursue LLMs is going to inevitably cause."

Side-by-side comparison of headshots. On left, low-key right-wing dickbag John Krasinski as appearing on the cover of People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" issue for November 2024. On right, individual accused by NYPD of having been the shooter in the homicide of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

I wonder if this person had any deeper thoughts about the connection between receiving threats and the nature of the "work" of a healthcare executive.
Text excerpt from a NY Times article which reads, "The gunman apparently knew which door Mr. Thompson was going to enter, according to two people familiar with the investigation, and shot him several times from a few feet away. Mr. Thompson had recently received several threats, according to one of the people, and the police were investigating the source and exact nature of those threats. The person noted that health care executives can often receive threats because of the nature of their work." The text, "health care executives can often receive threats because of the nature of their work." has been highlighted.

I grew up on these streets.
Scan of a gameplay supplement map of the overworld in Zork I: The Great Underground Empire. The map is comprised of rectangles with connected lines representing rooms and pathways, respectively. Rectangles are labeled with the name of the room they represent, with additional text describing items found in those rooms in italics beneath. A legend explains the different types of lines used to represent pathways, as well as how the map represents vertical paths. A compass rose, designed around a sword, is provided for orientation.
