I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

I am so often, as I look at the world in this moment, reminded of this verse from the 5-volume Ming dynasty novel of manners “Plum in the Golden Vase” (trans Roy):
Though the preceding carriages have overturned by the thousands
The carriages that follow continue to overturn in the same way.

today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

a late friend of mine was a partner at an ad firm in the ‘60s. He told the story of a car ad shoot where someone left the handbrake off, and the car rolled off a cliff into a ravine.
He revisited the (very remote) site years later in his retirement, and the rusting shell of it was still there.

bring back shame, combat vice signaling
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

30+ movies a year. Wow. That's very impressive. This year Paramount released a grand total of 7, exactly one of which made the year's top 25 (while losing $), so there is zero reason to believe that the company has the means to more than quadruple its output. deadline.com/2025/12/para...

Gorgeous eruption that has become a halo CME on its way to Earth (likely arriving on December 9). Quite strong shock, given that proton flux has started to rise.
