They died for nothing. Such senseless loss.

To the goons running the show, that’s probably seen as a small number. From Wikipedia:

Russia has an estimated population of 146.0 million as of 1 January 2025, down from 147.2 million recorded in the 2021 census. It is the most populous country in Europe, and the ninth-most populous country in the world.

I think you have reached rock bottom as a human being when you are willing to distribute drugs to other humans.

Please Apple, just get rid of the blobs around every toolbar item in applications like Finder. It’s like some kind of office prank.

Being “good with it” doesn’t negate the overwhelming harms it causes. Those harms are part of the slop: environmental slop, work environment slop, societal degradation slop.

That is absolutely damning.

I hope you’re not suggesting there should not be accountability for abusing someone to the point of suicide. This man faced smears and disproportionate consequences because of his colour.

I’m also pretty confused. I’m not good at deriving meaning from stats.

I’d heard of the dark triad years ago. It made intuitive sense to me, although I wonder if that’s because of evidence or the TV tropes I’ve consumed all my life.

Solidarity exists. Human rights failings are solidarity failings.

He knows this. The phrase is deliberate misdirection.

There’s a huge market for slop: junk food, slop entertainment, fast fashion. We’re a planet of slop lovers. AI slop will remain popular among many.

But as I double-checked the academic literature, doubt started to creep in.

Somehow I feel like this is a little private joke.

The colonials must have a reputation.

You’re so close. I don’t want to ruin the magic by finding the answer, but curiosity got the better of me and I found the script. The line is “Canis patrol…” (whatever Canis is).

Edit: now when I listen I hear “Gayness patrol” 🤷‍♂️

I have no idea! It’s all I can hear. It’s episode 11 “The Young Lords” of season 1 (the only season).

Assumption is not a form of consent

I still have an iPhone and I prefer the pictures my Fuji Finepix took back in the 2000s. It didn’t put that weird fisheye effect on landscapes that make background objects look like they’re a kilometre away when they were only a few meters away. I’m still surprised by how good those pictures are, and the way the lens automatically extends and retracts is just joyful. I never think that of my iPhone.

The pictures are more grainy, and have other shortcomings. But they look like what I saw with my eyes.

I’m not in/from Britain myself but it does seem to make him look foolish.

Like in a comedy when a volunteer is sought from a line of people and everyone but one inattentive person takes a step back.

It’s impressive to see the other parties unified in their strategy, which also seems to be a smart one. I heard Zack Polanski say (can’t remember when) that the people of Clacton need to reject Farage, so I wondered if they were running a candidate, but that’s not the case either.
