An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

Hi, I’m a website, product, or service you’ve relied on for years without incident. Great news: I’ve now been revamped with a mandatory AI component that makes me unusable.

Honestly this is one of our biggest problems these days; people are allergic to feeling bad
not sure exactly how we moved from "do unto others as you would be done by" to "I should never be made to feel bad about my own stupid decisions because that's just rude," but here we are

We’re seeing a profound collapse of ethics across professions that once prided themselves on their independence and crucially underpinned the idea of liberal democracy in practice. Across the law, journalism, military, academia, and finance we’ve seen an eager collaboration in their leadership.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

A decent question to ask when we’re scolding told that we must “debate” and “have conversations” with the MAGA right: is what is on offer from these people actually a conversation, or is it a domination exercise?
"Debate-me-bro culture, that's not real persuasion. Folks who are interested in this kind of debate-me-bro culture are not interested in persuasion at all. They're interested in the performance of their own intelligence," says @devawo.bsky.social. newrepublic.substack.com/p/is-america...

The notion that Republicans are the more real Americans, whose authenticity Democrats must pay tribute to with imitation, persistence even though it is contradicted by more and more actual empirical evidence.
I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

The thing about the Charlie Kirk whitewashing is: people aren't even saying his words should be punished by death or limited by the government.
We're just demanding that we collectively see him as he really was.
That infringes on zero freedoms and advocates for no violence.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day
We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

I don’t know how to be around so many friends who—to my mind and I deeply hope I am wrong—seem so in denial about the totality of what both Trump and AI augur for any hope of a stable, much less just, society.
