i wonder if republicans “we fucking hate everyone” strategy will work better in 2028
It's crazy that people still try to act like the media environment is somehow more coordinated & organized behind liberals. Just an absolutely obvious fiction.

Every once in a while I see a post from Owen, who is usually quite thoughtful, that just comes across as mind-boggingly sheltered & naïve, and then I remember that he's been drifting into a deeply symbolist & individualist religious mindset that seems to have rendered him "pure".

I think people outside the South don't understand how big of a deal it is that a black man won a Mississippi Senate seat. Take all your moderate vs progressive stuff and stuff it, that's all a sideshow compared to the real issue here.

Throwback to this incredible jump cut in a video Russell Brand made talking about his innocence in 2023.
It's fun to reflect on these anecdotes & realize that they are certainly massive exaggerations — or BS. Feynman was a boisterous storyteller who was constantly lying to get women to fuck him, & these stories happened to also have value greasing dinner parties, books, & lectures.
lol reminds me of an anecdote from Richard Feynman.
Feynman's hobby was cracking locks and vaults. One time at Los Alamos, a physicist got locked out of his safe and he had forgotten the combination. No one could open it, so he called Feynman... Feynman walks into the office and locks the door behind him to be alone.
In the previous weeks, he had realized he could manipulate the dial to get the last two numbers of someone's safe if it was left open. Feynman would go into people's offices and distract them while he got their last two digits, and jotted them down on a sheet of paper. By getting the last two, that left only 20 possible numbers for the rest of the combination, which could be brute forced easily.
Anyway, Feynman enters the office with his sheet of paper and opens the safe in one minute. To give the impression that he had been working hard and safeguard his reputation, he didn't go out until after 25 minutes had passed. Read a magazine in the meantime or something.

I *am* a Ross hater but Trump being simultaneously so viscerally out of touch with typical Americans and so unwilling to introspect had Ross looking like Isaac Chotiner.
People who are really obsessive about using coasters on every single piece of furniture don't usually seem to actually understand how condensation works.

The breakneck race to destroy *any* connection to a shared or objective reality is one of the most repulsive things going on right now in tech

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.
