Triumph of the Shrill

I love science but… Who needs science to answer this?

It's a really good collection; my favorite story in it is still "Unauthorized Bread," but the title story, "Radicalized," is also EXTREMELY PRESCIENT (it's about terrorism against health care executives and what might motivate it / result from it.)

@raycraib.bsky.social the Adventure Capitalism projects keep coming…

This a nuanced report on the Patagonian site of Vaca Muerta and what it means for the Argentine present and future by Emma Bubola @nytimes.com . As an expert on Argentina, I strongly recommend reading it... www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/w...

Armpit virgen mary!

IQ = Idiocy Quantification

A version of whatJames Scott once called “anarchist calisthenics”… Keep yourself fit with the seemingly small and incremental to ensure you are “fit” when the bigger lift comes.

This is solid and a good reminder to not get suckered in to and reproduce tech AI doomerism (which is part of the sales pitch)

Bernie Sanders is leading the charge against data centers, but his AI policy leaves a lot to be desired. As Sanders follows the hype, AOC is taking a different tack by targeted the real harms of generative AI. We need policy that takes on the reality of AI, not the industry’s exaggerations.

Roald Dahl had Anthropic’s number more than a half century ago.

Ahh yes, what could go wrong? This is Cory Doctorow’s @doctorow.pluralistic.net great reboot of Poe’s The Masque of Red Death waiting to happen. And Naomi Kritzer’s @naomikritzer.bsky.social Liberty’s Daughter. We’ve been here before…. Adventure capitalism… pmpress.org/index.php?l=...

All these movements are of a type. Highly recommend @raycraib.bsky.social's book, “Adventure Capitalism,” which includes a number of these attempts, but was written before Balaji's thing had gone far enough to clock. clereviewofbooks.com/raymond-b-cr...

You think he’d learn from his predecessors’ failed efforts in the 1960s and 1970s in the Bahamas, the Minerva Reefs, Vanuatu and elsewhere… but then again, he thinks History is nothing more than a “ledger”

Uh, no, they shouldn’t. It is called FERPA. And why do these assholes assume parents are always footing the bill?

DC getting in on it.

Picked this up today more or less on a whim. It was a good whim.

Totally deserved!

Still rooting for Spain.

This one’s for @alltoosuman.bsky.social

good, bad, crazy… whatever … but England have been serious entertainment. The Mexico game, Argentina, France… fun if sometimes for the wrong reasons….

I think for England fans the next 40 minutes are going to feel like… the previous 40 minutes v Argentina….
