The troubling thing is the "doing it for the meme" style of violence may be leaving the furthest and darkest fringes of the internet and entering into social spaces we would better recognize as maybe not normal, but certainly adjacent to it.

Jahn may not have had that "single issue".

The meme says "come and take it" And it shows Shadow holding a bottle of Tylenol

This car tied with him moving to RCR has me agreeing. Hes fighting such an uphill battle

My pregnancy introduced me algorithmically to the world of mommy blogging and content creation. It was the most regressive garbage I have ever seen. So much of it was the cult of promoting women’s pain as “natural,” and “natural” was a pipeline to anti-science MAHA. Demonizing an OTC painkiller fits

1) preferably a deeper dive than just summarizing stories/reading headlines (30 min to 1hr preferable)

2) something non-NPR (I already listen)

3) please less overt commentary. I would prefer a pod that explains an issue, gives context and verifiably fact checks.

Calling podcast listeners!

Please drop your favorite news podcasts for me. The Daily has been getting on my nerves for a few years now and after back to back duds this week I think I need a new pod in my rotation.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I'll believe it when I see it. Track will rubber in as usual and tires will stop wearing

This article from what I saw doesn't really make a case for WHY it needs to be instant. It basically says "if it was at instant speed it would be more powerful" which can be said about any mechanic that is at sorcery speed 😆 absolutely riveting writing

AI isn't a therapist; it's a bunch of bolts telling you what you want to hear.

It is almost the "perfect" Fantastic Four flick. My only gripe is there is a noticeable, Doom-sized hole in the story.

Favorite Todd McFarlane art ever

Just saw Superman. Was gonna do a whole bit about it walking in. That’d be a disservice. It’s an important piece of work and I’m not joking. I don’t even like superhero movies. Sprint to see it. Bring your kids and explain it to them. James Gunn had a time machine when he made it.

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)

Absolutely abhorrent how women are treated in motorsports.

I think Steve has been great for the sport overall. Better than Brian France ever was.

To be fair. Bernie and AOC have never been shy about framing themselves as being in opposition to billionaires

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”

So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Hot take and recency bias aside, Sinners is a certified banger from Ryan Coogler.

Gifts Ungiven is fine

Obviously this would still come with the plagiarism/theft concerns AND the serious environmental concerns as well

I am curious. If AI was used solely as a facilitator, not as something that could make declaratory statements of fact, would you find it less reprehensible as a tool? So for template creation and execution, coding assistance, creation of natural language searches, things like that?

Are we sure he is still alive?

Moreso than Meta? No one reads the WaPo or the NYT. NYT has around 11million subs. Facebook has 3 Billion users. I agree they are both problematic but comparing them is silly in my view when one has WAY more of a damaging societal impact than the other.
