this can't be allowed to be a consumer grade product going forward. its too much like doing the really fun drugs, there's no way to know beforehand who is gonna be able to act normal with it and who will instantly be struck insane and end up dead in a ditch somewhere

Text screenshot: "Weinstein added that the MRFF receives similar complaints about Christian eschatology — end-of-the-world theology — “whenever this shit blows up with Israel in the Middle East.” After the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, for instance, the MRFF reported a complaint about an Air Force commander who said at a briefing that, “[T]he war between Israel and Hamas has all been foretold by the Book of Revelation in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and no-one can do anything about that.”

People also keep missing that the original report explicitly said they got similar reports every time there's American adventurism in the Middle East.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results.

The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

Tapping the sign but two things both true at once: (1) LLMs can do lots of genuinely cool and useful things; (2) most of the things people are currently using LLMs for in practice are unbelievably dumb and/or corrosive to society

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

if you don’t buy an incredibly stylish off-the-wall narrative game for $5 what are you doing

Pokémon Red & Green sold poorly in Japan when they launched in 1996, only catching on months later. Apples and oranges, I know, but this is indicative of the shift in how execs at game publishers, streaming services, and Hollywood studios need instant results or they pull the plug. It's unhealthy.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

This is, casually, one of the best books you could buy about game narrative (yes I have an essay in it)

anyway, if you’re even remotely curious about what an inclusive, progressive christianity that includes people like both talerico and crockett, as well as a rich, global history stretching back across nations, ethnicities, genders, and creeds, run don’t walk to @sojo.net.

you don’t like christianity, fine, makes sense, don’t sign up. but a progressive movement without religious tolerance is (a) going to get its ass kicked in every single election—city, state, and national—from now until the country mercifully sinks beneath the glacial melt and (b) not progressive.

Trump is breaking shit he cannot un-break, no matter how hard he tries to backpedal or shift blame.

hello. please look at this incredible list of authors whose craft advice you can get for less than $20. I’m in this and still completely amazed by how good the quality is

Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.

We also just murdered this guy’s parents, his wife, and his son so good luck getting a peace deal

Life is rough now, so be sure to give money to Ettin and Freya because then we will at least have more Hard Wired Island

Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.

Twilight Zone premise

These brave Americans died because Trump was bored and wanted to spice things up with a fight.

The proliferation of blood and soil arguments about who belongs on a land has become seriously disturbing. Even those on the left are adopting such narratives.

I just left the classified briefing on Iran. And it only confirmed what we already knew:

Donald Trump is waging an illegal war and he has no plan to end it.

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

What stage of the apocalypse is this?

I wonder whether Trump is aware that our military resources, though vast, are finite.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Seems like a thing more people should be mad about

Politico: Trump is running out of time to sell his rationale for Iran war Senior officials keep offering justifications for the conflict with Tehran that the president upends.

Love how the msm invents new rules for Trump. He gets to come up for a reason for the war AFTER he starts it. What a lucky little fellow.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories.

The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.
