NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.
Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before
but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

"Thagomizer" in Japanese is, in fact, サゴマイザー/sagomaizaa, and you can imagine my delight when it dawned on me what the katakana I was reading represented.

"In a just world, where the career of a political pundit was somehow tied to his ability to analyze politics, this would be an extinction-level event for these morons."
My latest newsletter is about how centrist pundits got the lessons of the 2024 election wrong, and how the politics of 2025 exposed them.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

This is the same argument libertarian make about landlords where they say "you don't have to rent, just go live off grid". it's technically not even true and also instantly recognizable as bullshit if you live in the real world

It's not about if Horses is good or if you like it, it's about the world we're in where a few companies have control over who gets to make money and which artists get to continue working.
Stores can stock whatever they want, but if you don't understand the broader picture you shouldn't speak.

I remember when Valve had to be browbeaten into even offering refunds at the business end of EU law telling them "do this or you can't sell shit here," they are not and have never been "the good guys" no matter how much you liked Team Fortress 2 back in the day

"It isn't REALLY a ban, they could always just sell it elsewhere" is fundamentally the same argument as "they aren't TECHNICALLY a monopoly" in that they both completely overlook the material realities and impacts of companies like Steam across an entire industry and ecosystem
One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

very wild to me that horses got sent to the shadow realm while steam still proudly sells lust from beyond, a game where you can receive a nonconsensual blowjob in first person that sends you to the knockoff cenobite dimension so you can have dubiously consensual sex with weird blob monsters.
