two thoughts a few episodes in.
1. I feel like bands like this don't exist anymore
2. Either Alison is a genuinely despicable person or she was rude to one of the editors once. She is villainous in this edit. Rude, bullying, gaslighting, and just being a twat

I genuinely wish the hard fork podcast would stop talking about the potential of things when they fucking suck right now. the review of the new Alexa made it sound an abject failure with utterly broken functionality and then still talked about how interesting it could be in the future. Embarrassing

They love quoting Loeb because he is the perfect example of being good in one field (physics) doesn't mean you are necessarily good in another (basic critical thinking)

This encapsulates what it felt like moving to
NYC after getting a musical theater degree

watching build a band on Netflix. netflix love putting people in non descript boxes

From podcasts in similar spaces to yours, I sub to the patreons for 'premium series' and more relaxed conversations on things where there isn't enough for a whole traditional episode.

he also seemed like a competent climber. Hard grade and showed proficiency, just no awareness that someone falling on him from 3m up might be bad

had to shout at a boulderer for the first time in like two years. Started climbing under me while I was trying to hang onto a bunch of crimps. He genuinely seemed confused why he wouldn't just stand under me while I am trying desperately not to fall off

I'm not watching a damn podcast. I've seen enough pivot to video periods murdering the careers and finances of people I like that I'm not falling for it again

Blaming everything except running on shitty politics for losing the white house

the images of starvation are harder to ignore now

because of the ceasefire news sites and channels began doing their post-war 'oh no, what could have been done to kill less Gazans' analysis when Bibi began bombing and killing again which broke the uncrossable line

my weekend plans have been ruined

Microsoft reveals 40 jobs about to be destroyed by AI — is your career on the list? A Microsoft Research paper has listed out 40 professions it believes are most at risk from the rise of AI, as well as 40 professions that should be safe (at least for now...)

The list of jobs is *deeply* unserious but is a reminder that the idiots in charge of these companies do genuinely believe things like this.

The utter disrepect that humanities has recieved by developers and STEM bros is an existential crisis at this point.

As a former CERN physicist, there was always intense crackpottery being emailed to me everyday that did a decent job, occasionally, of mimicking the field well. But there has always been an issue with frauds who sound proper while doing nothing in physics

I need to sell some tulip bulbs...

Look at your other agencies address are gleefully helping them, because all law enforcement are bastards. These agencies must be collapsed and gutted but democrats will go back to hating immigrants if they get power back

I spend too much time telling people that the unedited LLM stuff looks cheap and like we don't give a shit. Granted, I know a lot of them don't give a shit but for public facing stuff I'd prefer we didn't like goobers

Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne dies aged 76, his family announces A statement from his family says Osbourne was with his family and

damn

death to tyrants! from disney’s animated robin hood

“keep politics out of kids movies”

disney in 1973:

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

Fortunately, the in-laws are visiting Vienna this weekend so helped unload the car and take it to the apartment while I tried to return the car on time while stuck in stupid Viennese traffic

Rented a car to pick up a new bed from Willhaben (Austrian Craigslist). Wife managed to also find a wardrobe and kitchen island to collect on the same day.

I have spent most of the day disassembling furniture and furiously loading them in to the car

Meta seems to have rolled out some new service that locks you from scrolling last adverts until you watch them for 5 seconds.

Absolutely not, done with them now

all these fucking billionaires want to claim they could have been physicists but none of them are or were. They're all fucking goobers who can't be happy with their pile of I'll gotten gold. God they're detestable

My work gave me a Dell XPS (15 I think). Has beefy RAM for work tasks and I generally like it

A bit late to the party, but Witcher 3: really good game. Would recommend, looking forward to 4 whenever it releases now
