Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

The latest from @victorerikray.bsky.social
"Yglesias claims to think “rights are good,” but would have us ignore how neutral rules can be used to deny people their rights. Earlier this month, the Trump Department of Justice issued a memo that follows from Yglesias’s reasoning" www.liberalcurrents.com/a-tent-big-e...
A Tent Big Enough for Bigots but Too Small for Critical Race Theory
Like so many of critical race theory's detractors, Matthew Yglesias fails to engage with the actual scholarship.

This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.

this is so awesome 👏
Augusta Van Buren and Adeline Van Buren, sisters, rode 5,500 miles in 60 days to cross the continental US, each on their own motorcycle, completing on 8 September 1916.
In so doing, they became the first women, that we know of, to ever ride solo motorcycles across the entire US continent...

In the past month I have received separate complaints that I have been posting too much about politics and cats. So today's Low Quality Ad is for this "Enemy of the State" cat pin. Keep the complaints coming guys.

I think the most illustrative example of why AI is so terrible are those fake animal videos. Sure, let's drain the fucking oceans to create videos of animals being funny, something you can easily experience by being near any given animal for 5 seconds

Thinking a bit on this reminds me of @shadowtodd.bsky.social yesterday noting his arms up/down gesture at the start of _This is Spinal Tap_. Fitting that this final acting moment ends with perfect physical business: a look away and back, a shrug and an amble away. Understated, utterly on point.
I think it's kind of beautiful that this was Rob Reiner's final line on television

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

it took about three weeks, £200 and the help of a computer science graduate, but I have working copies of Word on two laptops with no AI on them
it will *fuck me* for my actual *career as a writer* to have AI trying to rewrite for me as I go. it will not stand.
