@_ankur7 @broadfield_dev @patrickc yes if we ignore absolutely every true piece of information that goes against what you're saying, then your insights are true and wise

@broadfield_dev @patrickc don't disagree with you and not saying neuron and transistor are the same. but they do share this switch on/off like function which plays the significant role how brain and computer works.

Maybe a very obvious point, but it only just struck me that, so far at least, intelligence seems to require four valence electrons.

enjoying windows' new feature where you hit the start button, type in the program you would like to open and watch the program change to something else entirely as you hit enter, bringing up some helper application or doing a web search on EDGE for the program you always use

damn they've added like 7 new humiliation rituals to the westjet booking website. would be less embarrassing if they just put a collar and leash on you when you show up to the airport and walk you around like the little pigdogs they regard their customers as.

@KelseyTuoc maybe you could do like a fun little "pop-culture roundup" for your bold new centrist magazine substack thing, where this tone might be more appropriate

There is a present crisis! Israeli terrorists are committing atrocities in the West Bank! Conditions in Gaza are dire and likely to remain so indefinitely! A lot of people are dying! If you give even the slightest shit about those people you should want them to have a state!!

I think the position that two sovereign states side by side is an unacceptable result, and Palestinians should refuse peace until a single-state solution is achievable, is basically a position that there is no genocide and no significant humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
Alyssa Katz@alykatzz

Mahmoud Khalil sat down with @jdforward for an extended interview because he wanted to talk to Jews, including those who see his Free Palestine movement as an existential threat. His message, take it or leave it: "I want to liberate everyone." forward.com/news/817276/ma…

@mcmansionhell my own impulse to categorize, and assign attributes to things has been quashed by seeing the logical results of data worship. still fun (exercise on strava, etc) but the way it's used for surveillance/ advertising has changed how i feel about quantifying things in my life.

the hashtag and the keyword are structural necessities for the functioning of this logic. That it is being extrapolated beyond this function is inevitable. Unfortunately this plays into the hands of AI which is the Moloch of Lists

the internet is by its nature taxonomical. It is structurally a lists of lists and incites collection-like behavior. Those who grow up working with the Internet begin to think with its structures. Platforms collectivize this impulse

Genuine question, what is driving this compulsion to retroactively group largely unrelated but superficially similar bits of visual cultural ephemera, and give them extremely stupid names

I wrote about why millennials freeze at the baby question. The decisions life asks you to make used to be able to ruin you. For college-educated Americans, they mostly can't anymore. Progress has eliminated almost every irreversible decision from modern life. Marriage? Career? Moving? All of these--to a large extent--can be reversed or mitigated. Having a kid is the last high-variance decision left. And we have basically zero practice making decisions like that. New from me at @TheArgumentMag: theargumentmag.com/p/theres-no-su…

I'm impressed at the creativity used t defend Chungusface. "This is no different from Devo!". Brother, Devo never did a talk verse break with words like "Im a Devo. Google it. Google me. Read my wiki. It's 69 pages long. Wrong". No one does that man. You can stop. They have fans

@TeamHungry99 @jenny2x4 I think what a lot of people would totally go for if it was done well is something where a major part of it is for all intents and purposes a dating simulator but with some other type(s) of story to explore outside of and along with that, like solving a mystery or something
