NFTs are amazing because you apparently “own” them but the AWS outtage yesterday took out everyones apes lol

Now they will lower the standards. Watch.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.

I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.

Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

I remember when Obama put up some art, and the Fox News crowd went batshit insane accusing him of "desecrating the sanctity of the White House."

The Trump Doctrine: If a supposed “narco terrorist” survives our attempt to kill him, we send him home and let him go free.

Kind of makes it look like they didn’t have sufficient proof to present in court.

Ernst: "I think it is extremely important that we look at who is funding these protests. We have to get to the bottom of this. It could be the usual suspect -- George Soros."

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

Game runner, whether tabletop or LARP, is a position of responsibility and only has authority/power to the extent necessary to carry out those responsibilities. When this is understood, it’s good for the players, and helps the experience.

There’s a not-niche corollary. Of course.

Live munitions from a Marine Corps anniversary demonstration over the I-5 freeway struck JD Vance's protective detail after detonating prematurely.

The White House intended for the highway to remain open during the demo, but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I tend to think that it's a bad thing when the President lies about things we can all see. And it's *not great* that many in the media are so eager to let him play up those lies.

"The decision to fire live artillery shells from the oceanfront training area was described as unusual by an active-duty Marine artillery officer and a former Marine artillery noncommissioned officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared reprisal. "

“I can’t imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us."

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
