So I went down the pawn shop to look for a few pieces and it was all pretty much the same, but there was an interesting item in the back.
Asked the storekeeper what it was and he was like "oh, that's a Queen sir", and then I just stared at him dubfoundedly and then he explained "it's a promotion"

I wish people who rushed to defend science would learn the first thing about it.

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)?
Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts!

Big tech’s selective disclosure masks AI’s real climate impact
Google claims to have disclosed new information proving its own efficiency. But it has hidden the bigger picture. Guess what: I’ve got the bigger picture for you right here in this big old po…

Thoughtful patriotism is a winning political strategy, and I'm glad that left wing politicians haven't abandoned it.
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

You, a simpleton: dude, she's out of my league, there's no way she would go for me
Me, an intellectual: she's probably about 500 elo above me, which may seem like a lot but that's 4% odds. With the added variance due to poor lighting I wager this to be an EV+ interaction...

People talk about how the left is overly censorious and intolerant. Some argue that this is necessary to cultivate a great society, but the reality is they do not have the guts to go after the real monsters.

"Appeal to librarian" is hands down the most effective debate tactic on bluesky
A librarian that previously worked at the British Library created a relatively small dataset of bsky posts, hundreds of times smaller than previous researchers, to help folks create toxicity filters and stuff.
So people bullied him & posted death threats.
He took it down.
Nice one, folks.

There's a certain vibe to bsky which isbeasy to recognise but hard to imitate. Kind of have to think of what a woman from a small town in a deeply blue state would say to try and impress their friends at a dinner party.

It's funny how business studies managed to become the common enemy of both STEM and the humanities.
The general standard of intellectual rigour in business studies esque fields is quite low. Good work is rare. Cultural studies style fields get a lot of flak for this (lotta bad work there too tbh), but they are far less consequential than business studies when it comes to number and power of grads.

Apparently in Japan it's not unusual to gift your enemy a bottle of soy sauce when they suffer a misfortune, as a kind of jeering.
But personally I don't think it's right to Kikoman when he's down.

Imagine being a UK farmer getting told that you do in fact have an obligation to pay tax on your assets and then you look over the pond and they're talking about bringing back the corn laws.
