A long(ish) read and well worth it. Clarified a lot for me, especially in regard to finding out what some of the transhumanist types mean specifically about things like 'existential risk'. I thought I knew what they meant, but not quite.
New piece on the surprising similarities between Eliezer Yudkowsky and Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. This might sound like hyperbole, but it's not. In my view, the Rationalist community is a ticking time bomb--it's only a matter of time before someone does something inexcusable.

Another US lethal strike on a boat, this one in the eastern Pacific. Total attacks now up to 38, killing at least 128.
As with previous boat bombings, in violation of US law and international treaties, without any causus beli, when the US wasn’t attacked, and hasn’t even advanced stated goals.

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

Former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon tweeted “Leibowitz was right, & I was wrong”
It referred directly to professor Leibowitz's warnings

Whether due to corruption, incompetence or both, the U.S. government just circulated child sex abuse material.
These bastards released unredacted photos of fully nude children and their faces—multiple news outlets had to inform DOJ, who scrambled to remove them.

When the ghouls say we need to grow the economy before we can afford the basics for our people, remember that our economy has made our households - on AVERAGE - amongst the richest in the world. Our issue is not the size of the pie, it's the size of the slice that goes to the rentiers.

The President of the United States is up past midnight posting videos of Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.
Of course all Republicans will deny having seen it…but we can make sure everyone else is reminded about what a racist POS Trump is.

I had a dream last night that Trump died in a military style portable toilet with a gold star on the front and they flew it away by helicopter and all the news channels that showed it were like “his body is in there” as it flew across the sky, swinging around gently
so maybe it will happen today.
