“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Absolutely jump-scared when Palmer Luckey showed up on my kids' Mark Rober episode.

Cloudflare Data Explorer shows the amount of russian bot traffic has dropped to 49% after Ukraine struck a yandex data center.

"Rogue AI agents acted on their own" is the new "officer involved shooting"

As I was saying

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

*"Adversarial poetry malware." Yeah: it's infected poetry. Evil poetry that powns machines and mines crypto. I'm pretty jaded when it comes to malware hijinks, but that's plenty weird www.theregister.com/security/202...

Northern Spy. Go pick some at Yates Family Orchard in Hinesburg if you ever get the chance.

"Sorry, just trying to grab some quick lunch. Be on video ASAP"

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Made it to VT. Makes me wish I could hop on the PATH and go explore a bit.

I think the consultant class is ruining much more than the Dem Party. Something more like the country or the world?

As always, proud to live in VT

Amnesty International calls for ICE to be abolished

I made multiplayer Windows 98 Solitaire. It's called Solitaire Alone Together. You can play together, with the whole internet, but you can't chat or talk. solitairealonetogether.com

Same people who seem to think it’s bad for China to beat us at AI are perfectly fine with China beating us at high speed rail, solar energy, wind energy, shall we go on

Hello. They are going to try to fuck with your vote, and we are NOT going to let them. Last week I pinged my friend Dana Chisnell, who knows how elections work, and said "Hey, let’s make it hard for them to fuck with us.” Today, we are very proud to announce the HOW TO VOTE zine. howtovote.tips

Bought a used copy to leave on our coffee table and hopefully entice our middle schooler. A small highlight of my years working at Princeton was getting introduced to Brian Kernighan by Rita Saltz (thank you for everything, you are missed).

Doubling down on letting people know you suck

Knowing that the plastic dinosaurs we played with as kids consisted, to whatever actual extent, of real dinosaurs.

Even aside from Rowling being an insane monster, Jesus fuck I am sick of hearing about Harry Potter

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

Went for an absolutely stunningly beautiful bike ride on the Lake Champlain causeway today. Highly recommend.

Live report from the Minnesota State Fair, located in the heart of American democracy, where there’s an ICE Out adaptation of Picasso’s Guernica made entirely from crops

I suspect this is a common sentiment (this is also how I feel)

She also really debunks the common justifications about religion, region, and age. Your grandparents and parents have shitty values because they have shitty values, not because of anything else. They could do better. Anyone can use their eyes to see the world and have the correct read.

"The Emperor is a fan of Flock, and we must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground... They are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we need this. I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend."

Darth Vader spoke in favor of Flock cameras at a San Diego city council meeting yesterday

Producer Pete Rock: "AI is mad disrespectful and if y’all don’t see that but think this AI stuff is dope then you are a part of the problem. They can’t beat Black culture, so what do they do when they can’t measure natural talent? Silly shit like AI!”

"We're going to enable you in so many other ways, you've got to take at least a few small L's." -SCOTUS, probably

A reminder that we don't lack national health in this country because it would cost too much. It would actually save tons of money. We lack it because it would not enrich businesses and their executives like the current system does. bsky.app/profile/jent...

We wanted to understand the future of AI. So we talked to three unemployed Joe Rogan listeners at an Arby's in Jericho.

These are the armbands with the stars on them in case you didn’t know.

This is no longer dystopian fiction. The authoritarian surveillance state is real and it is here now.

I first learned of Mt. Washington because of it's famous bumper sticker, and this weekend I saw this inconceivable variant at the local pick-your-own blueberries spot www.juliannabrazill.com/cliffs-of-in...

On sight.

Honestly, this was the election we were watching the most last night. Very happy with the results.

Absolutely one of our house's most trusted recipe sources.

"If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die. Death with dignity is surely a better fate for the genre than fascist capitulation." Zero stars for this piece of shit movie. My review of ONE NIGHT ONLY for @ebertvoices.bsky.social
