given the library of babel only appears to be infinite... if we'd been burning babel books instead of coal this whole time, would we have run out? or how far would we have gotten through them?

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

I keep thinking about the stress expended by small sites responding to the Online Safety Act. Trying to make sense of unclear guidance and do their best, already thinking about user safety. And then I think about X deciding to openly generate masses of CSAM and the lack of action taken against them.

social deduction party game where you play as nuns, one of whom is possessed by a succubus. you take turns kissing each other, making careful note of where this makes you feel the devil. after each round of kissing, you confess your suspicions to your closest sister. and take a vote on who to shun

remember walking around a HEB in Austin about a decade back and the price of groceries, wow. like twice what you'd pay here, and no better quality.
'British food is bad' has been untrue for like a generation and a half at this point but really sticks around in the U.S. U.S. supermarkets are inferior to their U.K. counterparts!
