easily my favorite recent thread:
There's a part of learning, which generative AI completely turns into dogshit, which is *doing something you could not have done before*
Whether it's drawing, playing an instrument, solving a physics problem, organizing an essay, you find yourself doing easily what previously you found overwhelming

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

ok so the new Aesop Rock album kinda hits.
loved his work back in the 00s.

something about the weirdfunk of the beats on this one really line up w his always weirdfunk flows.
feels familiar but very much of the moment.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

A 15 year old cannot drive, vote, work, or live alone. They cant join the military. They cant be out past 10PM without an adult here.
And you, an adult man, want to have sex with them? Your desire is for POWER over them. That is all. They are defenseless. Powerless. They are children.

If you find yourself thinking "cyclists don't belong on the road" then the logical corollary of that is to support safe, separated cycling infrastructure. But in my experience it is often the same people who vociferous oppose cycling infrastructure who also abuse cyclists for riding on the road.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

@edzitron.com love the pod!
but... can you perchance get the levels closer btw the podcast proper and the intro/outro music?
in particular when you have guests, Better Offline is dangerous for my ears if i listen with headphones b/c the music is so much louder than the voices.
