Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

An elevated city on four columns. Various people walk around the base. Other versions of it populate the background.

That sounds terrible, I can feel a pain in my ureters just thinking about it. I've been lucky enough to pass all of mine manually, it's the constant fear of another that really gets me. I drink so much water..

The last time I had a stone I can remember watching ds9 and fantasizing about the doctor beaming out the stone with the transporter.

Why do I feel so bad all this time? Maybe this next compilation of gruesome caving deaths will cheer me up.

Prosecutor, D.C. metro area: The D.C. office is hemorrhaging bodies, and they will probably get rid of two competent people for stating relevant facts that were on the record. I don’t think people will truly understand what’s happening to justice in America until it impacts them. Even my family: My parents voted for Trump. I don’t think they see it as a priority. I mean, they’re not going to be criminally indicted anytime soon. When I tell them what’s happening, I don’t think they really believe me. It would take a lot of restraint not to retaliate in the next administration. A lot of career people are helping the administration now. I have a list in my head, and if we get out of this, some of them I’m holding to account. A lot could be validly criminally probed. But the back-and-forth will not be good.

the cosmic ballet continues

it's just the most predictable behavior.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

If We Were in Hell, Would We See More Children Burn Than We See in Gaza? Edited by Sam Thielman I SAW THE SILHOUETTE of a little girl, alone, as everything around her burned in the predawn darkness. Her name is Ward Jalal al-Shaikh Khalil. Only five years old, she surv...

Silicon Valley billionaires literally want the impossible Ars chats with physicist and science journalist Adam Becker about his new book, More Everything Forever.

No, we are not going to live on other planets. Bullshit artists like Musk might as well be the leaders of death cults. arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies Marriages and families are falling apart as people are sucked into fantasy worlds of spiritual prophecy by AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT

This is fantastic work by @milesklee.bsky.social documenting the way ChatGPT can cause users’ mental health to deteriorate quickly into catastrophic delusions. This technology never should have been released to the public and that was obvious from day 1

Patrick Freyne: Returning home from Chad, I feel there’s a glitch in western empathy The Sudan war is the world’s biggest humanitarian disaster, but it seems our human compassion is taken up by other conflicts

The way the algorithms keep us hemmed into a handful of news stories has really been bothering me recently www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

A #squirrel gets gently brushed and clearly enjoys it.
When the scratching stops, it taps for more. This reaction is common in #mammals, as grooming and gentle touch can trigger calming responses and even release endorphins.

The goal of AI images is not to convince you they’re real, but to put you in a mental space where you start to doubt the veracity of everything you see - where nothing is sincere and everything is trolling. This is why they serve fascist ends so effectively.

Meme of a dog-like creature wearing a hard hat at what appears to be the death star from star wars. The creature says: "Ahh... another day of being a morally neutral and innocent civilian!" Beside the creature is a sign reading, "GIGA DEATH SUPERKILL PLANET CRACKER SLAUGHTER RAY 3000 WORK SITE"

America is never recovering from this lmao

Terry Gilliam’s ‘Brazil’ At 40: More Prescient Than Orwell Gilliam’s vision of totalitarianism as both evil and bumbling, with parallels to our current dystopian moment.

I enjoyed this idea that authoritarian states are more like the movie Brazil than the book 1984 - because authoritarianism breeds incompetence.
