Remember when we were all super mad that Apple automatically put the new U2 album on our iPods?
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

It seems the new groups are concerned 😃
I love this footage (that I’ve just seen on Facebook) of Paul (Simonon) with a couple of young Clash fans singing ‘Guns Of Brixton’ ❤️

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link.
For example x.com/dril/status/...
becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/...
People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."

I saw this piece by Orjan Matre last weekend performed by the Minnesota Orchestra. Basically it’s Grieg remixed symphonically. Very cool. bergenphilive.no/en/video-con...

Why Chris Finch made a Timberwolves lineup change by starting Donte DiVincenzo for Mike Conley. Pretty good move for Finch, more shooting, more movement with DDV.. and look at that closing lineup.

An amazingly disturbing story from the inside of the American militia movement.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

Happy Winter Solstice!
These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure.
Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice.
The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

Latest Wolves: A deep dive into the glory of McDaniels' last two games, and then a pullback into the myriad ways he has improved and thus increased his versatility.

The resurgence of Jaden McDaniels is a vital boost for the Wolves
Thanks to hard work and tunnel vision, most everything about his game is improving — defense, shooting and avoiding foul trouble.

After their fourth loss in a row last week, Ant called the team "trash," saying they have to start "doing what the coaches told us."
Since then, the Wolves have won 3 straight with dominant defensive performances.

The Timberwolves have found re-found defensive intensity that made them last year’s top defense as they have held their last two opponents to just 80 points

My takeaway from last night’s Wolves/Lakers outside of the obvious effort defense was Finch’s minutes distribution. A lot less Jaden and ANT and a lot more riding the hot hand. The Conley, DDV, NAZ, NAW, Rudy mins were beautiful basketball.

So Finch is finishing with NAZ over Randle.
