Not to be contrarian but I get your riff but I am going with Spider-Man villians. This subset of technology bros very closely resemble the "Green Goblin" or "Doctor Octopus".
A murder of Tomahawks [?] . . . not to diminish crows.
That was very painful to watch.
What is the President's US Chess Federation ratings? I am just thinking ahead to my Polymarket bets. Advice welcome!
Ok. So now you bring the Neoplatonists into it . . . sigh.
So your argument is that among other things . . . we have burdened other civilizations with the boredom of baseball?
That was laconic.
I had a period where I regularly ate cow hearts. Fun times!
This week, I'm going to get way out of my comfort zone and promote the hell out of my podcast. I'm so proud of the work we are doing, and I want as many people as possible to know it exists.

Hi: Sorry for query. What accounts that are on BlueSky that address the Ukraine matter that you follow? I have been largely on YouTube with Denys Davydov and Ukraine Matters. I welcome any high quality Ukraine BlueSky referrals. Thank you. Sorry for hassling you.
This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

I would just remind folks that Elon Musk is neither a rocket scientist, nor an automotive engineer. Sam Altman is not a computer scientist. Elizabeth Holmes is not a doctor. David Shor is not a data scientist. And Ezra Klein is not a trained public policy analyst.
So this absolutely tracks.
