It's striking that even in the defenses of Bari Weiss's broader thing no one ever says that she or her website does good work. Even the people that admire the success she's had selling lite reactionary shit to rich old guys top out at "people do seem to like it." You could defend Jake Paul that way.

I have never felt more confident in my own programming ability than I do right now after reading this

ghostdoctoral researcher @chemotaxis.bsky.social · 22h

the programming in question

He took that output and loaded the results into the heart of PECOTA—a Rube Goldberg contraption of an Excel spreadsheet. He'd finish making his changes to the PECOTA methodology for the year to the spreadsheet, kick off the macros, and generate the output on a player-by-player basis on his laptop. Just the Excel portion of the processing took days, barring a memory leak or computer crash that might necessitate starting the entire Excel process over. The output would be a monster CSV and a bunch of image files that I'd run a Perl script on to build the PECOTA cards. The output seemed to change in small ways every year, so the script had to change to accommodate those. For my part, I wrote the card-building script in late 2002, and just thinking of looking at the code today makes me cringe.

advertising banana ball to real baseball fans is insane. the primary audience is children and, as i learned today, swingers.

..politicians, and activists are either enabling or normalising it - as if this cruelty is somehow acceptable [it's not - obviously]

We must call this out for what it is: a systemic and institutional violation of human dignity, a betrayal of trust, basic humanity, and an urgent crisis

This is happening right now, across the UK – affecting thousands of young Trans+ people who are simply trying to be themselves and thrive

Young Trans+ people being inflicted with unspeakable mental and physical suffering

And all the while, anti-trans medical professionals, media figures,..

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning
