Barking dogs are driving me insane… so I finally started writing. What began as rage at my neighbor’s 5 dogs turned into a deep dive on misophonia, the haunting “Tale of Barrengarth” from The Witcher 3, and why the game’s implicit storytelling is still unmatched. If you love dark Witcher lore or just want to see how real-life frustration births writing… come read my very first Substack post. @thewitcher open.substack.com/pub/aardandste…

@bonchieredstate What do we think about th argument that selling them chips keeps them dependent on the US, and discourages them from developing their own supply?

You know what we didn't do when we had to "beat Russia" in the nuclear arms race? Sell them warheards.

I'll believe we are in a new cold war to "beat China" in AI the moment we stop allowing the sale of AI chips to China, and not a minute before. That doesn't mean I'm against all data centers or anything. But don't gaslight me.

WOW: Tucker Carlson has 7,300 paid subscribers. But he also has a lot of casual viewers in Pakistan and Turkey.

@TheCinesthetic As a little boy, the ending is what I waited for. I’d make shields from the couch pillows, swords with wooden spoons from the kitchen, capes with blankets, and I’d fight the nazis along with them!

My workplace built a new team-member center, with 75 foot ceilings, full sun windows with automatic, retractable sunscreens, gym, elevators, beautiful woodwork and balcony area, sound proof conference rooms for management, a massive state of the art kitchen and cafeteria…built in a year and cost $10 million…all this to say, there’s gonna be a lot of people walking around with a good chunk of that $30 million in their pockets…

This is the economic version of the guy standing on a rooftop in a flood and asking God to save him, but rejecting two boats and a helicopter. “Capitalism, why didn’t you save us?” Um, you already have grocery stores and a Duane Reade on every corner, which provide countless products efficiently and are built quickly and more cheaply than this fake-ass version that will drown in fraud and dysfunction.
New York Post@nypost

Mayor Zohran Mamdani that the first city-owned grocery store – which carries a whopping $30 million expected price tag – won’t open until 2029. trib.al/zJEMm8D

A lot of the doom and gloom on social media has me thinking of a quote from one of my favorite contemporary historians, Barbara Tuchman, from one of her best works, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century. “Disaster is rarely as pervasive as it seems from recorded accounts. The fact of being on the record makes it appear continuous and ubiquitous whereas it is more likely to have been sporadic both in time and place. Besides, persistence of the normal is usually greater than the effect of the disturbance, as we know from our own times. After absorbing the news of today, one expects to face a world consisting entirely of strikes, crimes, power failures, broken water mains, stalled trains, school shutdowns, muggers, drug addicts, neo-Nazis, and rapists. The fact is that one can come home in the evening--on a lucky day--without having encountered more than one or two of these phenomena. This has led me to formulate Tuchman's Law, as follows: ‘The fact of being reported multiplies the apparent extent of any deplorable development by five- to tenfold’ (or any figure the reader would care to supply).” She wrote that in 1978! Whatever you think of our current state of affairs, there is a little comfort in knowing that history can always produce a worse time to be alive. Or at least a period with comparable challenges. Maybe not a big mood booster, but maintaining a healthy sense of perspective is key! Happy Friday, remember to log off and touch grass! #medieval #writing #writinghistory #history

It’s not that bad, and it’s always been this way… “After absorbing the news of today, one expects to face a world consisting entirely of strikes, crimes, power failures, broken water mains, stalled trains, school shutdowns, muggers, drug addicts, neo-Nazis, and rapists. The fact is that one can come home in the evening--on a lucky day--without having encountered more than one or two of these phenomena.

@ayanxars @PopBase It’s from the “night side.” This is the original, which I think is a much more dramatic shot.
