The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

Yet again, I am going to ask everyone to look at the 'farmers' hands driving the tractors / being interviewed in this protest.

If they have soft hands they are not farmers, they are tax dodging managers. Farmers have giant sausage fingers covered in cuts.

damn, well I'm sure the MET will come down on them with the same enthusiasm they have for arresting climate protestors
It's looking as if the farmers protest in Whitehall today have ignored the police request not to bring their tractors.

I'm super open to this framing. It's WAY more fundamental than any of the several bubbles I've lived through, especially if Sacks isn't lying & >50% of GDP growth is from the "AI" sector.
Don't call it a "bubble."

OpenAI, Microsoft, & Alphabet are just fine with that term because they get to tell you that all the dot-com bubble or the railroad bubble or the whatever bubble was, was a shaking out the greats after an intense period of mania. This isn't a bubble. This is a time bomb.
Opinion from Alphaville: OpenAI is a money pit with a website on top. That much we know already, but since OpenAI is a private company, there’s a lot of guesswork required when estimating the depth of the pit. on.ft.com/44xy39L

Look, everybody, it's gonna be a long-ass winter and we fired all the agriculture workers and all the other countries are pissed at us, cabbage is gonna be basically the only green vegetable we see this winter that you can afford, so just get used to it.

I'm gonna go looking for cioppino recipes & find AI shit telling me to add cornstarch and bits of tire rubber; also it will recommend leaving the fish out to ripen in the sun for at least 6 hours.
I wonder how many people are gonna catastrophically fuck up thanksgiving by using chatgpt for their recipes

Exciting and original sci-fi horror by @qntm.org

Antimemes cannot be remembered; they are ‘self-keeping secrets’. So how can Marie Quinn, the Head of the Antimemetics Division, protect humanity from this threat?

Sometimes confusing but always propulsive and interesting. I enjoyed this.

One of my favorite 'everyone is a muppet except x' ideas.
The movie 'Training Day' but all the cast would be muppets besides Denzel. Kermit is Ethan Hawke, obviously.

I want a Hannibal biopic where the framing device is Hannibal (Naveen Andrews) flashing back as he gets ready to do battle with Scipio Africanus (Matt Damon) at Zama. We end before the battle.
ICE will be pared down to one masked goon whose job it is to get Vin Diesel to set on time every day for the Hannibal Crossing the Alps movie.

Cold open on the first one would be a Predator just waxing Wyatt Earp in half a second. (It's an alternate timeline.)
A series of Predator movie dropping a predator into various points in time. Prey wasn't enough I want more.

Not a movie, an epic miniseries about the life of Robert Smalls. I mean, the dude had basically 4 careers, each of the historically significant.

Just the other day I was thinking of something similar except that it's everyone from the Blancverse becoming canonically part of the Marvel (Or DC! Peacemaker crossover!) Universe. Blanc makes everyone look ridiculous & then has to regretfully break it to Melina Vostokoff that he's gay.
I’d make Rian Johnson direct a James Bond movie and Daniel Craig has to be in it again except he has to use his Benoit Blanc accent

My Heart is a Chainsaw. Find some young & brilliant & unknown talent for Jade & Letha, but I've been headcasting Willem Dafoe as Mr Holmes, the history teacher. Make the cinematography echo 80s slasher films.
(At this point Millie Bobby Brown's old enough to cameo as Jade's mom.)

Also if I see someone wearing a t-shirt that says "Carthago delenda est" & that person is not a classical scholar I am immediately gonna pencil that person in as a massive racist.
The thing I will always think about is Zuckerberg has three daughters. How do men, especially famous men who've had their bigotry & skeevey behavior so publicized, explain themselves to their daughters? And of course the answer is to normalize it to them.
