reverse seared ribeye, in the works
Fwiw this is a political move that has probably little to do with the tiny number of western people in polycules and everything to do with concerns in africa about traditional polygamy.
Not that anyone should care what Pope Bob thinks about their romantic life.

In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

Barbarism is what Pirro and the rest are transforming the american justice system into. Barbarism is treating someone’s language, skin color, or national origin as indicative of their criminality or value as a human being.
Pirro: "These Guardsmen and all who are here to protect the District are the line that separates a civilized society from a barbaric one."

I think there are two ways of looking at Rorty's neo-pragmatism. One is the edgy, sexy way, which focuses on his rejection of "Truth" and "reality" as relativistic and anti-realist. The other way is to just treat the rejection of truth and reality as an edgy way to express epistemic humility.

my doorman told me i should watch a movie called "the long walk" so I watched the trailer and seems like a metaphor for how much police-state capitalism sucks.

these taboos provide a cocoon for identity formation that gives people a sense of safety and belonging. gender policing, like all policing, creates an “us” which helps us know we’re socially OK.
So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

It’s hilariously bizarre that this is the case but it turns out that demolishing Thomistic metaphysics is actually a valuable political project in the year 2025.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

working with an LLM is a bit like working with a precocious 8 year old with severe short term memory loss.
it’s like the guy from Memento but he thinks he’s right about everything and believes everything you say, until he forgets who he is every ten minutes.

It’s only a ponzi scheme if it’s run out of the 17th floor of the lipstick building. Otherwise it’s just sparkling capitalism.
You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.
