PANEL 1: A shirtless tattooed wizard in sweatpants walking to a mobile home. WIZARD: "What's this now?"
PANEL 2: Wizard in closeup. WIZARD: "Problem is most people have tangled up their idea of wizardry with a pastoral never-was England."
PANEL 3: Wizard in medium shot, smoking. WIZARD: "But, well, Indiana needs wizards, too. An' maybe it ain't the worst thing in the world if we had more wizards who c'n change the oil in a car."
PANEL 4: Close up side view of the wizard's face, still smoking. WIZARD: "Like ev'rybody *loves* Gandalf. But Gandalf'll never teach a local kid how to shoplift baby formula to help his momma."
PANEL 5: Wizard in medium shot, looking down. WIZARD: "Nah, people don't like magic around. Reminds 'em they *could* have a different way of doing things than the one that hurts em so bad, an' lotsa folks can't handle that."

I think it's just a category error to view someone showing up in Epstein's email inbox as an individual engagement with an individually evil person; it's more like a data point placing that person in a diffuse web of elite influence and exchange that treats ordinary people as property.

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy"

Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.

PANEL 1: The devil sitting in front of a fax machine in hell. NARRATOR: "The Devil waiting on his faxes of the next batch of Epstein files so he knows how many pits he has to dig."

PANEL 2: A duck and a chicken are talking at a weird angle. DUCK: "And as the Democratic Party became the party of white collar professionals, their solutions became the solutions of corporate middle management--" CHICKEN: "Huh."

PANEL 3: DUCK: "Middle managers work to execute the ideas they have to from the C-suite above them and tamp down the gripes of the employees, or voters, below."

PANEL 4: DUCK: "Now things like genocides aren't a moral stain, but a lot more like an overbudget crossfunctional product launch we're too committed to push out to be able to stop now. Acceptance and defeated compromise form the default corporate posture."

LLMs are, more than anything, machines for creating intense apophenia. Of course if you point them at each other and then stare at what the spit out it looks very strange; of course it seductively seems like there's a "there" there. but it's just the bottom of a pachinko board.

People are over-reading this. The judge dismissed the *federal* murder charges because his (alleged) actions didnโ€™t fit within federal law. He still faces *state* murder charges because itโ€™s usually a state crime. The feds stepped in because they were mad NY doesnโ€™t have the death penalty.

Nonsense. It's not possible to steal AI technology. I know this because Google's own LLMs are built using a complete copy of my legal blog, and that's somehow not stealing because, as Google says, a complete copy of my legal blog is both trivial and utterly essential for their tech to work.

How? How do you double-check the accuracy, if you're not already an expert? Ask a different GenAI? Or do you, you know... Have to go and do the research you would have done anyway, pre-AI? Because I'm buggered if I can think of how you do that in a way where the GenAI saved you time.

assemblage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II made of multiple materials including plastic flowers refuse, beads, Black baby doll parts including heads and hands, and skills embedded,  hanging on museum wall
museum text:
Hew Locke OBE RA Born 1959 in Edinburgh, Scotland
Europa, 2007 Plastic, metal, fabric, and wood.
Hew Locke creates this portrait of Queen Elizabeth Il from mass-produced plastic objects as part of his House of Windsor series. Born in the United Kingdom and raised in the newly postcolonial Guyana, Locke recalls being reprimanded for defacing images of the Queen in his youth. As the Queen of England for seventy years, Elizabeth symbolized imperial power-her image on currency and in textbooks, and her role in governing distant territories, some of which she rarely, if ever, saw herself. In this work, Locke underscores the postcolonial contexts that made this object portrait possible, including the global supply chains and inexpensive labor that make its materials widely accessible.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

If you're not familiar with just how unhinged the "Gender Critical" movement is, this thousand strong class action thing might just seem like a random ass-pull, but what it is is that they believe there's going to be some moment where all trans people will just suddenly stop being trans all at once.

A line & dot and ink like cartoon. There are two stick figures standing at the top of the image and most of the cartoon is made up of a nuclear test shaft underneath them and colored in with various textural fills and labels. at the bottom of the shaft is a round shape representing a nuclear explosive test device labeled โ€œdas puffen-boomer.โ€  

Each labeled area of the test shaft has a different texture fill & are labeled, from top to bottom, as:

โ€œGrass CLIPPINGS
RASIN PUDDIN
SHREDDED CONTAINMENT REPORTS
BUBBLE GUM plut
JELLY BEANS
WATERMELON SEEDS
MARSH-MALLOWS
PRINTOUTSโ€

The stick figure on the left has a large speech balloon reading โ€œYES NOW THAT ALL OF OUR SUGGESTIONS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED WE IN COMTAINMENT FEEL THAT NO FURTHER VENTING WILL...
BLAH. ... BLAH.... BLAHโ€

The next speech balloon reads โ€œoh that? That is of no importanceโ€ and is referring to a long crack in the earth from near the nuclear bomb to near where the rightmost stick figure stands.
