My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.

The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

Incredibly funny to say you aren’t doing war crimes because George W Bush did something
Lindsey Graham: "The least of my concerns is this frickin' video. Release it, make your own decisions. This is lawful. I have every confidence that what they're doing is no different than what Bush did."

GenAI is just a fast-track to learned helplessness, and that Vincke interview is rife with the language for it. The studio made one of the most successful games of all time, pushed CRPGs back to the forefront of interest, and their boss is promoting AI by framing the whole studio as lost in a bog.

I agree that it’s 100% true that the eyeballs are all on short form video - and man, it’s still really depressing how the necessity of Doing Video nowadays seriously disadvantages people who aren’t conventionally attractive (or who just genuinely can’t stand being on camera)
The one thing I keep thinking about is how much direct to camera stuff rewards physical attractiveness. I mean, that's gotta be part of the reason these wellness influencers are successful, right? And you're competing for eyeballs with them.
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

#AdventOfCode day 10 part 2 just cost me hours and loads of nerves. Not because of the puzzle, oh no, but because I could not for the life of me find a Java library that:

- can optimize a system of linear equations
- is not just a wrapper around native code
- does not suck shit

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

Just really sucks that so many of us are barely getting by (if that), and the people who stole from us are rewarded with billions. It's hard to put into words how demoralising that is.
