We need him now
looks like he brought a bag lunch, smart.
New health inspector is killing me
Shout out to the graphic designer, who illustrates multiple ways to break up the text so readers don’t feel like a giant wall of text has been deposited in their feeds.
The answer was inoffensive pablum (whatever) until the end, when he implied that “institutions” are concrete and naturally long-lived but “democracy” is an “abstract term.”
Thankfully I don’t think he’ll have trouble fundraising independently. And this race is going to attract ambitious and talented staffers no matter what.
Dawg the ACA implemented a competitive balance tax?!
If Carolina rolls it’ll be an exact replay of the first month of Coach Prime hype at Colorado before reality kicked in

I believe in the stroke theory now. Look at that face.

Yesterday I saw a colleague recommend E. Z. explicitly as “I don’t know if he’s right, but his anger will make you feel better about the indignities” — and I instantly understood the market niche much better
we need to bring back metrosexuals. they were evidently a load-bearing pillar of american manhood
Family Matters lied to us about the morality of the average cop
I wonder if we can get computer scientists to make LLMs do Thin Slicing Prompt it as much as you like, it’s just going to skim it to get the gist and then discard the rest.
need people to stop making technology inspired by Star Trek (smooth, sleek, no buttons, all screen, voice activation, extremely minimal, wireless) and start making technology inspired by Star Wars (clunky buttons, indicator lights on everything, ugly, indestructible, fat cables that emit steam)
i simply do not like seeing society run by a slatestsrcodex comments section
This is why almost every AI SDR company sucks shit except maybe for the one that forces you to pre-write most of the email za-zu.com/docs/handboo...
I’ve been thinking about this post a lot: it’s exactly right If you try to shove an LLM into a workflow that replaces a human it will surely, spectacularly fail
Starting to get final act supervillain vibes here. Like the plan to hurt lots of children all at once has been foiled, but the villain has grabbed one or two and taken them to the top of a very tall tower to make his last stand.
Summer camp counselor, probably close to $10/hour
On this Labor Day, belated congrats to my great aunt for getting a raise
Yeah I wish it was cool to crack open a drink at 4 or 5 and loosen up with your colleagues as you finish your work, but experience suggests it never works out that way (and the fridge starts opening earlier… and earlier… and earlier…)
I had one experience with a company that stocked beer in the fridge and now I am a Hard No on that “perk”
You may be underselling the infrastructure advantage they have. They aren’t absolutely reliant on NVIDIA the way the other foundation model providers are.

The problem is “I would prefer not to be in prison” and moving to Russia are related. I contend that someone in 2013 who really cared about reform would have leaked/blown the whistle, turned themselves in, and then dared the government to make the case that they were in the wrong.
Also, is nobody going to comment on the living room stage?
Guy was COOKING
I believe "THE ROCK is actually a James Bond film" is no longer controversial.
I think you can still take your email list with you, but if anyone signs up using Apple in-app purchase, those subscriptions would not transfer to a new platform
Quantum of Solace was the first time I ever wished for the villain to give the "before I kill you, Mr. Bond, let me explain to you my brilliant plan," exposition dump speech.
Okay this raises a better question though: could you accomplish your media goals with the annuity option (~$10M/year after tax to start, payouts increasing every year for 30 years) or do you need the big lump sum right now
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
Wild that this eventually came to be true but definitely was wrong at the time!
people who can take stances you agree with and then give such absolute dogshit examples that you start second guessing your stance because of it have to be studied in a psychology lab
one of my classes is having us watch a bush era youtube vid about overconsumption and the woman's immediate example was how she thinks that only the CPU of a computer needs to be replaced, and that you absolutely have to throw out *the entire computer* to upgrade it. im gonna crash out
We should have a realistic James Bond: an agent of Empire, fighting nationalist movements in the 3rd world in the 50s and 60s. Torturing Kenyans, shooting Malaysians, helping overthrow Mosaddegh in 1953, and feeding intelligence to Protestant death squads in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s.
The thing that gets me about the Craig era is - and I say this as someone who likes the films - that there is no coherent motivation to the villains besides Le Chiffre. What the fuck was going on in Quantum, or Skyfall?
Relies on Bond having some deep lore with them… but in the timeline how much experience is he meant to have? Absolutely wild decision that could only make sense to producers who had been with the franchise forever. Full reboot time.
I think Stephen is right and the Craig era is all the proof you need that Amazon was right to push the Broccolis out of the production process going forward. (Fumbling a Christopher Nolan offer to direct is almost as bad.)
Perfect nuclear-level take deep in a holiday weekend
I was going to say “even Casino Royale?!” and then you were like, hold on (I agree QoS is unfairly maligned)
Beltway reporters are astronomically dense but they know what it means when you call a Black person an animal
I know we’re all desensitized at this point, but if this happened during Trump I it would be a full on media freakout and scandal.
Yeah it's not exactly subtle what's going on here
I mean he could have COVID again! Simple as that! Life maybe not in danger but feeling awful.
I got one like that but it was impersonating @kenjennings.bsky.social
Wait why? If he just has a cold, they’ll have a laugh and then forget all about it two hours after he has his next actual media avail.
25th amendment must be invoked because if you can’t be present for an elimination segment you’re out by default.

it would be really funny if racial depolarization still happens but its because white people start being less racially polarized
“Now watch this drive.” [Trump begins backswing, immediately shits his pants]
Like this guy would obviously get the designation lataco.com/isaiah-antho... And those masked thugs who grab people who have come to file immigration paperwork may each be encouraged to become one
I would like to reclaim the “an hero” meme for right wing chuds and ICE agents who act like they’re doing great work to show up en masse to arrest a nanny or a working firefighter. Meme might have too much baggage though. Hard to get over the origin story.

Big if, but 2026 will tell us if we’re back on track for this
Is a “party-state” one where the administrative functions of a state can often be run through a strict partisan organization (with all its attendant bureaucracy and manpower)
More than cleverness, it is this clarity that marks genius—to see a road and resolve to take it because something must be done and it offers the best odds as can be ascertained with the available information. Someone who shrinks from the moral responsibility to choose lacks genius in this sense.
It reminds me of Clausewitz’s discussion of genius as not only intelligence, as you can be smart enough to debate yourself into paralysis (or despair). Genius also encompasses the moral fortitude to take responsibility and dare a dangerous course when it is the only one available.
Rare to need air quotes around EVERY word in a sentence
but actually you disburse law enforcement functions into various agencies, some of which are likely to always be rw but without the labor power (derogatory) and political power they currently enjoy its manageable through professionalization
Is this guy not just doing an irony-poisoned bit?
The Linsanity is over at last
We’ll have to put together a recap, like the State Department did for the Iran hostages when they were released in 1981
"i am uncomfortable when we are not about me" is so clearly the conservative code. just discomfort transmuted into rage at the idea that a) other people exist and b) you might have to think about them occasionally same reason they hate cities, where the Fact Of Other People is totally inescapable
If Americans wish to remove all non-English signs, they're perfectly welcome to rename the capitals of Louisiana and Iowa to "Red Stick" and "The Monks" respectively.
Cómo vas a escribir eso desde Chino Hill?? Pedazo de Gil!!
There are like 1 or 2 places in DC where I would be down with it and it would cover maybe 1-2 city blocks total. “Historic neighborhood” oh, are you an attraction for tourists? No? Then shut the fuck up.
“the burden should be placed on you alone to assimilate even when your ethnicity becomes the majority in a given city”

It’s the “never took drugs” line that really makes this one wild
All the other bad shit aside, with this one decision, a self-interested publisher should no longer consider Substack a safe place to launch a new paid product.
Well you shouldn’t have been eating the toothpaste for dessert

Hardly the level of ethical vulnerability disclosure you would operate on if your goal was to stop digital surveillance operations and drive reform in the natsec/intel community
I hate to be a doomer but it's not just Ukraine that would be fucked if these three cooperated. Three nuclear dictatorships + large military spending + over 2 billion people + massive natural resources + manufacturing capabilities. Not great, Bob! if only this could have been prevented in some way!
