Super intelligence is the new cold fusion.

I always find it funny when the discourse gets into “men dress for women” and “women dress for men” and if we were really honest with ourselves about what compliments actually resonate with us, we’d admit that we are all dressing hoping to get approval from the gay men in our lives.

The TikTok algorithm gets so incredibly specific and repetitive that it can give you a wildly distorted perception of what is in the national zeitgeist.

My algo would have you believe that theee is major controversy over Sydney Sweeney’s jeans ad and Ralph Lauren’s Oak Bluffs collection.

Thought experiment:

Would all the money being poured into AI clusters be more or less of an economic/environmental disaster if the companies instead built factories to light equivalent amounts of cash on fire?

Ribs aren’t just for smoking. Oven roasted with tomatoes, onions and peppers that cook down into a jam here. Sautéed corn with Calabrian chili and lemon juice. Arugula salad with vinaigrette and fried almonds and garlic chips.

Yes, I’m rewatching season 2 currently to remember what happened. It will be interesting to see what happens with a reduced budget and new show runner. Not super optimistic.

It wasn’t a party, Kait. It was a gathering of people who know each other!

Look, I’m not saying it wasn’t tasty, but that antipasto salad didn’t look THAT good.

Well, I think Lewis can get George on pace, and the chance of fuckery between Max, Lando, and Oscar seems high so podium is still a good possibility.

No player had a better collection of nicknames. Hefty Lefty, Battleship Lorenzen, Round Mound of Touchdown, there were so many…

Man, Vasseur might not have made it out of the track alive if they had cocked up the strategy so badly to get Lewis knocked out in Q1.

I didn’t play the game, but haven’t gotten that message from the show at all so far. The futility of revenge seems to be the dominant theme that is emerging.

Raiding the fridge for breakfast. Leftover corn risotto, Italian sausage, blistered cherry tomatoes. Garnished with parm, basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

a man in a suit is making a funny face and saying oh no ! ALT: a man in a suit is making a funny face and saying oh no !

A billionaire tech bro doesn’t feel he has a home in the Democratic Party?

Good lord, that McLaren Silverstone livery is hideous.

It was good. Not as good as Season 1, but still very good.

They had all the problems that caused the game to get review bombed and the double whammy of getting people who worship flaming them for every minor change.

Risk was low, but reward was zero from the team’s perspective. They don’t benefit anything by Lewis jumping Charles.

Meh. He’s proven he has pace, but consistently makes bad decisions on the track that ruin his race.

Ferrari should have pretended to consider Lewis’s request not to stop, but they were 100% right

There was no benefit to the team to be had.

I’m a bit tired of his fan club. His finish today had nothing to do with the car and everything to do with him running into everything on the track.

It’s a bad car and he’s driving it badly.

Leftists are really gonna go wild about a progressive winning a primary in the deepest blue place in America against a weak field, aren’t they?

Baton, KP. It’s a baton, not a wand. 😂

AI as the new alchemy is a tremendous metaphor.

The big marketing push on AI is starting to feel like alchemy. We throw in stuff and other things come out! We can't make gold yet but if we keep throwing in more stuff its going to happen, we promise! No we can't explain how, but if you believer we are all going to be rich and live forever.

Because the point is not meaningful policy change. It’s shaming and humiliating people to teach them a lesson about doing anything the Trump admin disagrees with.

“Low confidence” intelligence assessments are basically educated guesses and a “well if you insist we give you something, here’s our best guess” exercise.

Some of the same people pointing this out now were real excited about a low confidence intelligence assessment that Covid was a lab leak,though

The Cheeto seems to have realized that maaaayybe Bibi played him and that the nuclear program was a convenient excuse to wag the dog because he’s running out of things to bomb in Gaza.

He’s big mad.

Do I think Trump wants to go to war with Iran? Absolutely not.

Do I think Trump is stupid/narcissistic enough to get himself cornered into one via social media brinksmanship and a false perception of US impunity? Possibly.
