One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

correct. it's wild to remember that so much of this could have been stopped cold by 5 or 6 people deciding they cared about our society. and their whole thing could be stripped down to the studs by dealing with maybe 70 guys

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

I took my advice and set a timer before I clicked after posting. The timer finished 15m later and I stopped it thinking ok I’ll just wrap up. It’s now 03:45 and I’m just getting into bed. Ooops. I hope I don’t have to ban myself from playing this like I did with Factorio.

This is a fun, but incredibly addictive game. It's basically the Cities Skylines / Mini Metro / Factorio equivalent, but for building an internet. If you're the kind of person that can blink and accidentally lose a couple of hours when playing those other games, then set a timer before you click!

This is bloody great. The best computer-controlled real analogue drum kit I've ever heard.

because it is relevant to my work, I have tried very hard to educate myself on how AI works, be fair and measured in how I evaluate it, and regularly test new tools to confirm or debunk my priors and tbh AI haters are just nailing it with less work like 99% of the time. keep at it folks

If you need a random color (e.g. procedurally coloring objects), you should use Oklab or Oklch color space instead of RGB or HSV. RGB may span the whole spectrum, but it does not pick fairly (leaning dark/muddy). Oklab is designed to more closely map to how we perceive color

The beths are currently doing a tour where basically every song is selected by audience suggestion. The only exceptions are the opener is a vote between two options, and the closer is their most popular song unless the audience can unanimously shout a different song title after about 10 attempts.

There are so, so many verified diaries of white Union soldiers at the beginning of the war saying "I don't know about this, I condemn the deplorable violence" and then they get down there and see slavery with their own eyes and immediately go "John Brown was right we gotta kill these motherfuckers"

Erik Loomis@erikloomis.bsky.social

And we can certainly condemn his violence. But let’s step back and remember just how horrible slavery was. On December 20, 1858, Brown, who had briefly returned to Kansas, led a party into Missouri to free slaves.
