Algumas pessoas que eu sigo aqui ainda postam sobre a eleição. Pra mim, ela acabou naquele dia no primeiro turno. Desde antes da votação, eu já esperava a ampliação da direita. Eu me surpreenderei se o Flávio não vencer neste domingo. É o reflexo da nossa população.

People say this was forward thinking, which it was, but anime's own popularity is the reason this didn't last. As I recall, licensing stuff like Eva became so expensive they simply couldn't do it anymore. This really was almost entirely community funded.

My heart & mind are consumed by Brazil's elections, but a quick pause to pay respects to BioWare. Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and Neverwinter Nights are pillars of CRPGs, extremely formative games. KotOR, Mass Effect & Dragon Age redefined RPGs for the modern era. Fuck EA, the people there deserve better.

I want everyone to be very very aware of the fact that Trump is on stage at rallies saying "leakers should be shot" while at the same time planning a public execution. State sanctioned public violence is being normalized, it's intentional.

Indeed the frequently accurate stereotype of developing world politics was that the political choices were between different corrupt and patrimonial parties. The USA traditionally avoided this but we now have one patrimonial party; what remains to be seen is if a non-patrimonial one can compete.

Isn't it funny how all the things required to keep the net in a functional state also just so happen to be bad for kids? Torrents, online spaces, the internet archive. All bad for kids! What are the odds right?

As hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out. In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.

(I’m not from Brazil but please read this before the elections as it’s still important) From OP: Please keep your eyes on Brazil, especially if you're from the US. I do not like to post this kind of stuff but we are scared. #brazil #important #awareness #awarenesspost #eleições2026 #elections

To paraphrase Tom Wolfe, we are witnesses one of the great unexplained phenomena of modern astronomy: namely that the dark night of AI-Job-Replacement is always descending on the humanities and yet lands only in math and computer science.

“I’m not sure about your young liberal arts majors. They’re probably screwed. I mean, ultimately, we all kind of are.” In an interview with The Economist, Muddy Waters Research’s Carson Block discusses the AI jobs apocalypse.

It's hilarious that Huang things not knowing his address, zip-code and phone number are a mark of how he is cognitively off-loading to technology and Klein doesn't seem to press him that what he's actually obviously doing is using the fact that he's rich to off-load onto other humans.

Matt Ford@mford.bsky.social

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Why do people get angry when you tell them to torrent things? 98% of ALL media that has EVER been produced isn't going to be on some streaming service. Do you guys not want things bad enough? I get the same reaction when I say "Go to the Library". I think people are just lazy.

The Arcane Dimensions update for our Halloween Jam has the Cultist from Blood in it. All jammers get to play with this, and soon the community will be dodging his dynamite. Yes, he also shoots his shotgun, but only at close range, and sometimes the true Fiend reveals itself!

OTD in 2022 Russian missiles struck & breached the dam at Kryvyi Rih. My tankies believe 2 mutually incompatible things. 1. Russia will end humanity in a nuclear war. 2. Russia is too nice to blow up a dam & commit ecocide.

So, where this sort of 'real talk' falls a bit short for me is that this 'glut' coexists with the easily observable fact that most departments have more than their share of indifferent teachers, mediocre researchers and straight-up abusers, protected by the social rules of the tenure track.

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social

I know what adjuncts make, and it is scandalous. But that’s because the market is glutted with PhDs - including people who should have either abandoned the PhD or abandoned the idea of a teaching career. I know that sounds cruel, but that’s real talk.

So obviously this is just racism, when he says 'dirtier' he means 'less white.' But, like, also anyone paying any attention at all - America is richer and cleaner than it was in the 1980s when I was born. Like, come the fuck on. Y'all remember the smoking section at a McDonalds? Gross.

Wait, why are they doing a Lego PlayStation? It seems to be a physical object. That doesn't align with their current approach. Should be digital legos only.

In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record: The Resistance Libs Were Right.

I want to expand on this in a short thread. Fascism sucks. It is also not going away: it is an effectively permanent part of modern representative politics because it is an effectively permanent part of human nature. We have to be prepared to push back against it, basically forever.

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social

That said, I think at this point, we can conclude that fascism is a latent political force in basically every country, to a greater or lesser degree and so you need to be thinking, "what if my country goes fascist? what if a neighboring country does?" and plan for how to avoid or deal with that.
