The thing about dating new people is you never know who doesn't know about NEOM and the Line.
Expensive, cheap-looking and completely unprofitable.

I remind you, generals and commanders, from the time Liu Bei took up the sword to defend the peasantry from Yellow Turban bandits,to at last equaling Cao Cao as emperor in Cheng'du, it was nearly 40 years. 4 decades of strife, chaos, setbacks, and heartache.
I understand what we are living through. And what may come next.
The Chinese are the only surviving great empire of history who appreciate the French Revolution fully, warts and all.
I increasingly think of the Three Kingdoms Period and French Revolution as interesting parallels. Would love to see an adaptation of one with the aesthetics of the other.
I feel like this should be easier than it is. I guess I'm wrong.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

The one thing that nobody but nobody seems to be talking about is that AI datacenters are massive capital projects that are literally single application. The instruction set the chips (that burn out in 3-5 years) is limited and optimized exactly for a single task. That it gets wrong a lot. Insane.
We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?

In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.

Long Island deserves a Representative who fights for working families and stands up to Trump’s attacks. Meanwhile, Andrew Garbarino can’t even wake up to vote.

I'm running for Congress because I know we can fight our way out of this. Be a day 1 donor: secure.actblue.com/donate/garre...
Anyway forgive another moment of indulging earnest electoralism in a foreign country. I'm just genuinely happy to see good news for once.

Back to posting horseshit.
A man notable mostly for his aluminum dining set and being a perfectly adequate cavalry officer. That's how you know he was NGMI, a Napoleon who trades the cannon and mathematics for riding around on a horse with a sabre is inherently a huge loser.
Careful if you say people shouldn't get into sexless and loveless lavender marriages you're invalidating people who can get neither because they spend all their free time inventing new sexual typologies and harassing strangers online.
I wouldn't recommend 40k specifically but genre fiction audiobooks in your target language in a genre or setting you're familiar with really activates the neurons.
I recently decided to go back to school and opted for a french college because of availability and smaller class sizes. I was worried about missing nuances because I'd primarily done my education in English since high school.

Horus Heresy audiobooks in French came inexplicably clutch.

Don't take financial advice from anyone who made it as a Blogger in the 2000s. They live in a particular realm of providence that has separated them from the rest of humanity.

*wearily* dong zhuoism (dining, dashing, poverty in the land)
Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.
The point isn't to reify the (obviously wrong) tropes but to point out how people are continuing to project the same framework of "unlearned but wise" onto other groups they want to admire while retaining a sense of superiority.
Is... is the kaiju in the background the other girl?
Some guys are addicted to filling out forms and hanging out with well-dressed lawyers.
Damn that's crazy. They deserve it if that's what they want.
Lead of course being a big girl obsessed with protein powder, unjustifiably popular.
Humanity has always loved the wondrous, barrel-shaped hog.
Women named after months. Women names after days. I think there's room for hours but that's either numbers or phases of the sun.

Years, Decades and Centuries seems like a harder time.

I feel like someone named Lead, Roaring or Humiliation would have a lot more going on than I can handle.
