Is there any precedent in modern history for a mass shooting occurring in a public setting with 10+ casualties and the perpetrator not being apprehended? It's really hard to fathom.

Hey if you haven't yet and are in the proper mental/financial space to do so, have you considered learning how to maintain and use a firearm? It is your right as an American citizen and a very good skill to know :]

Have you read "The wizards guide to defensive baking"? I sincerely recommend it, starts off as a 'specials and poo people' trope but builds into a 'use what you have creatively to meet the situation' vibe that is heartwarming and also blood pumping.

Feels like a good time to talk about when Larian employed an outright fascist and refused to fire him.
Over covid one of our engineers was radicalised. Next time we saw him he was watching Tim Pool videos in office and telling us about "cultural marxism" at work drinks, the whole nine yards

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

Using AI slop as "reference" images is so insane to me. The point of reference images is that they anchor fictional imagery you're generating in real things, and because they're real images that come from somewhere, they're also doorways to further research.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
