sorry to ruin your fun but his whole stoner nice guy routine is an act. Scooby's not even his real name, it's Gideon, and the only reason he can doss about in a mystery van is because his family, the D'Oubay-Doux, made a fortune in the East India Company in the 1700s. educate yourself.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

if we're complaining about Mass Effect: it's fucked up that the guy who's in charge of all the Reapers is named Harbinger and the guy who's supposed to open the way for the other Reapers is named Sovereign

Oddly, I think the ending of ME3 might have been more satisfying without the Catalyst/StarChild and the Crucible - if beating or not beating the Reapers was a pure product of the alliances you made, reflecting the sum total of your choices.

there’s a men’s version of the wnba that’s basically just as good

Australopithecus 3 million years ago:

uhh i was digitizing a box of old VHS tapes for my uncle... you guys ever hear of something called "The Mayonnaise Channel"??

Its good society moved past it but I have to imagine a lot of problems in healthcare and education are attributable how they don’t have a huge reserve army of brilliant young women who have no better professional opportunities

Roger Marshall is lying about Adam to cover up his own record. Here's the truth: Adam helped get this predator convicted, while Roger Marshall protected pedophiles by voting to block the release of the Epstein files.

So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.

I’m glad the USA built up the hugest, most destructive military apparatus in the history of the world so that this pathetic creep can use it to act out his deep psychosexual issues

current state of the fix social media playbook: *nationalize facebook and hold it to rigorous privacy and content moderation standards *break up google and make youtube robustly fund a streaming PBS *turn off x the everything app *keep linkedin the same. that'd be a good bit *begin The Tribunals

It's exactly the same kind of defensive cognitive degeneration the planter class did

This is another great, approachable explainer on “the rationalist wackos who have managed to take over much of the AI industry, and who now have tons of money and political power.” www.iankduncan.com/personal/202...

Meischa was Roger Marshall's patient. This is her story.

The trailer for my new film, "Musk," has just been released.

because the ny times wants to kneecap AOC the way they did hillary clinton. they don't do this for any other politician but her. and we must pound them into the dust for this.

15/ ProPublica is revealing the existence of the case for the first time. We reviewed a trove of evidence gathered by the FBI and thousands of pages of legal records, and have independently corroborated much of Kao’s account. This is the first piece of an ongoing series:

Oh yes, very much so. Dan's key insight was to plot the *change* in the national primary margin (from midterm to midterm) against the House vote. When you do that, something absolutely astonishing emerges. For the last *80* years, the two measures have closely tracked one another. Eight decades!

That gives us a *lot* of data to work with—enough to create a scatterplot and draw a regression line. The dots faithfully cluster around that line, with just a small number of maybe-outliers (and removing them makes little difference). And now we're in uncharted territory, quite literally.

Absolutely lost my shit at this co-op mode for Hearts of Iron, which you play as the Army, Navy, Emperor, and Government. All have their own win conditions aside the Government, which lost the game automatically in 1925. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

when wikipedia launched, the idea that an encyclopedia could be reliably maintained by the public was a joke. now, it's a marvel, a remarkable resource, virtually the only website that remotely delivers on its potential and practically the last pleasant browsing experience on the internet.

We will vote to rebuke him so decisively no president will dare such abuses again for centuries.

“I guess you could call it a church.” Top story: In his new book, sociologist Harel Shapira reveals how Americans learn far more than simply how to shoot from firearms training centers — they learn a religion of constant fear.

Robert E Lee was the most overrated general in history. Woof. towardsdatascience.com/napoleon-was...

I'm back, I missed you all. Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult. I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?) (alternative title: Time For Some Cult Theory)

(me, an absolute fool, skimming some weird blogger's embarrassingly tedious harry potter fan fiction in 2010): I can safely say no one who reads this will ever become important

look in seriousness the fact she responded (and with “no it isn’t”, lol) to a bluesky (not her main social media) thread from someone with ~10k followers is such a hit dog hollering moment that it lends gyges significant credibility imo bsky.app/profile/aell...

“Home voters” no longer limit themselves to running governments for their own benefit, setting tax levels and services levels that fit their needs. Instead, they increasingly think of local government as a tool for taking resources from commercial property owners and renters.
