See a lot of talk about how Christian queer people feel doubly isolated and I just want them to know, sincerely and from the bottom of my heart: Your Christianity does not stop being a reactionary patriarchal colonial cult just because you have a pride flag.

personally if i were looking for signs of contemporary fascism, armed + masked thugs kidnapping people to send to camps would be the thing i point to

Realizing lately that “three way fight” has layers

RELATIVE CINEMA

2 naked nobodies in the desert in the middle of nowhere
Big, hard, throbbing painted worlds wanting to be painted
2 naked nobodies wanting to fight over nothing
Nobodies in the desert in the middle of nowhere
On their feet wanting to suck Gwyndolin's cock
Dark Souls III really rocks!

I am Andrew, son of Mario. And I have never known defeat.

cropped Bluesky post that reads: “ Hey so you don't need to test if the new version of the lying, plagiarism bot is better or worse than the old plagiarism bot they're all bad”

rule #1 of AI skepticism: do not, under any circumstances, check if your prior conclusions remain true

I believe in free markets, individual liberty, and limited government. That's why I oppose spending 100s of billions on police who are dedicated to undermining free markets in labor, denying individual liberty, and imposing unlimited, authoritarian government.

I asked a math professor this recently and he said that when students ask him this, what he asks them in response is "Do you know how to code?" 💀

(low hanging fruit tbh, feel free to substitute with your favorite primitivist)

This is some really messed up stuff, you all should take a look at this.

it’s very problematic and concerning that most humans have outsourced their hunter gatherer skills to technology, industry, medicine, science, and globalization

we’re getting dumber as a species because we all can’t live in remote environments and survive off random berries we pick for ourselves

Barry Schwartz: "Don’t come at me with ‘I have a PhD in quantum field theory’. Because I have a self-figured-out in what-you-will-refuse-to-look-at. Which shows you are stupid, unless you actually will look at it. I am not impressed by your PhD. I shan’t even bother to tell you what diplomas I have, because it is irrelevant. Your diploma is meaningless to me. You have a diploma in pseudoscience. If we cannot talk to each other like two intelligent humans, rather than PhD-in-quantum to non-PhD, then eff you."

A summary of the experimental proof that the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics is a load of garbage

This person needn't be taken seriously.

Wendig says, ""A thing not often mentioned here is one of the things OpenAI is trying to take away is community. Having experts beyond yourself — and professionals and friends and family and and — means interacting with them, enforcing community. This attempts (poorly, thankfully) to diminish and destroy that." This is a screenshot of a Bluesky post by Chuck Wendig, which quotes a tweet from NBC News. The NBC News tweet announces that OpenAI is releasing GPT-5, calling it a 'team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket.' Chuck Wendig's post critiques this, stating that OpenAI is trying to take away community and having experts beyond yourself.

It is absolutely outrageous for Chuck "Burn the Libraries, I Need Residuals" Wendig to accuse *anyone* else of trying to "take away community," "experts beyond yourself," or attacking the ability to interact with humans via the written word. The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

Chuck Wending: "A thing not often mentioned here is one of the things OpenAI is trying to take away is community. Having experts beyond yourself - and professionals and friends and family and and and - means interacting with them, enforcing community. This attempts (poorly, thankfully) to diminish and destroy that.

Do people really believe Sam Altman is part of some conspiracy to destroy all human interaction? Also, you used em dashes so clearly this was written by AI. Maybe Chuck's in on the conspiracy himself.

"I used Gentoo until I caught COVID" is the most mastodon sentence ever

"how many B's in blueberry" entered in a Python REPL, causing a syntax error

lol Python is so useless

This programming thing is clearly a bubble.

Black and white photo of a banner that reads "For your freedom and ours" in Russian. Text reads that it was one of the banners held by demonstrators in Red Square on August 25, 1968

"For your freedom and ours." Banner held by Russian dissidents in Red Square in solidarity with the 1968 Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia, crushed by Soviet tanks. One of the demonstrators later noted: "a people that oppresses others cannot itself be free."

ENCYCLOPEDIA - Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer called Contact Mike.

YOU - Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother?

ENCYCLOPEDIA - Nope.

minor spelling mistake

*Etruscan

Low key surprised I didn't see any replies or quotes going "erm the luddites were good actually, he shouldnt have used it as an insult 🤓". Maybe because that's a leftist thing to do and Colbert's audience is liberal.

sortition prevents gerrymandering

I just learned of the PIE root *mrǵt, "to forgive." I saw this and immediately assumed "mercy" descends from it, but mercy is actually a cognate with "merchant." Some posit an Etrsucan origin.

Unintentionally Nico Robin coded my WoL and now I'm obsessed over her 🥴

It's called "primitivist praxis." You wouldn't get it, industroid.
