Fundamentally, the current regime would rather be in control of a third-rate country than live in the wealth, safety, and comfort they already have in a first-rate one. It outrages them anytime they are reminded that someone is permitted to disagree with them.

I can understand being frazzled trying to pick three special qualities of my daughter. Which ones are important for a teacher to know? Which are tiny things that only matter to me? Which would she want me to say or keep private? What I can't imagine is wanting to outsource thinking about her.

A pun so enjoyable it makes you sing and dance, a cavortmanteau, if you will

Diminish an anime Sick Note

I do think an interesting phenomenon among the "chattering fascist" wing of the movement is the constant effort to turn whatever their preferences are into some kind of objective signal of superiority.

Presidential bug report #174303 (Low Priority): Pathing AI erratic

Gosh, I wonder if this could be a cynical lie announced purely so Trump has an excuse to sanction Ukraine. Couldn't be, right?

Map of the Lighthouses of the World. Each lighthouse sweeps out its actual arc and the reach of the beams is true to scale. Very cool. [kottke.org]

Ossoff and El-Sayed took different tacks tonight vs their opponents—El-Sayed was more of a subtext of “you dumb fucking racist jackass” while Ossoff’s was more “if you fell down at a gas station I’d toss a lit match on you”—and I don’t think either of those is a bad choice tbh

That's it, the search for the statement with the least self-awareness is over

It shouldn't be possible to find 57 men at a college who are willing to be in the rape chat, yet here we are. And complaining that men are the ones who are being treated unfairly in the face of an outcry about a gang rape puts you squarely in the 'prospective rape chat invitee' category.

Nobilis. I love the 3rd Ed rules, but I miss the hilariously overwrought ambiance of the Great White Book (and the amazing margin notes):

I could've populated this entirely with SNES games if I'd wanted to.

Rose: anyway this girl now has to deal with her mom and her new stepmom being dancing cannibals Rose: she can mull on that while sitting for long periods of time gazing out the window of a bus Rose: kinda like a filler episode of evangelion Franz Kafka: those are my favorite Rose: uh huh sure right

I'm honestly not sure I would have seen anything disturbing about that Converse ad if it hadn't been pointed out. That's not saying it's not there, that's saying I'm extremely white, and that ad companies should hire more minorities to catch shit like this before publishing.

This won't change anyone's mind, let alone this guy's, but mysteriously-determined 'toxicity scores' changing the algorithm for what I saw without letting me opt out would immediately make me uninstall.
