A press conference. It looks like Democratic senators. Four are nondescript, but one of the figures in the back is Fetterman looking like an asshole in his gym shorts and hoodie. I wear gym shorts and a hoddy every day too, but not while carrying out my official duties as a United States Senator. I am not a United States Senator. But if I was, I'd dress appropriately. The caption on the cartoon is: "Let this be a reminder: when they go low, we cave." It also says "Cartoon by Brendon Loper."

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

An old comic about the end of summer
Every summer my family and I return to the motherland - the west of Ireland. In 2022, thanks to the drought, its usual deep green was singed slightly brown Me and my aunties sprang - collected - my Great Auntie Nellie from her convent in Dublin, and drove west We stopped briefly in Tipperary Town to stand outside the house my mother and her sisters grew up in in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Suddenly they're bursting with memories: "This was my favourite step! My throne!" "I saw Thin Lizzy play in that church hall in 1969!" "That's Basil's house, where Basil lived. He made the town gravestones" Further west again, we visit a living part of that old Ireland. The farm where the last stalwarts of my grandmother's generation live. [Great Uncle Ned, 84, Great Auntie Nellie, 90, Great Auntie Bernie, 89, sit chatting, hunched in chairs]

This is nazi logic. The Nazis would redistribute the confiscated property of Jews to the German populace as an incentive to support their mass deportation to concentration camps.

I like how Capcom thought to themselves, "You know what's cool? Girl blacksmiths."

And you know what? I agree.

I hate the word "talented." It's an empty idea that obscures effort. I prefer to think some people are born with a "knack." A brain with a knack adapts to certain skillsets faster, but without dedication, knack falters. Many are born with more passion than knack, and passion succeeds every time.

Why read books? Because books are still the most powerful, reliable, transportive & magical storytelling technology we've invented - and all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! #booksky

we are in the middle of an experiment to see whether the trump administration really can be the first all stick no carrot authoritarian regime in world history

Accelerating unpopular policies in every aspect of American life. ICE is unpopular. Education cuts are unpopular. Billionaire tax cuts are unpopular. Cutting Medicaid and Medicare is unpopular. A political party already performing 10 points underwater charging ahead at full speed.

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.
