Last Week in IndyCar (11/16-23/25)
A certain sneaky Swede sets up his first offseason excursion, and several seats are shakier than we thought

i love living in a country which can effectively levy financial threats against social media giants like youtube, but instead of saying "ban all the fascists" they're like "steal everyone's ID and ban the teenagers, please"

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

My favorite ludicrous New Yorker style is that they print initialisms in full caps but acronyms (initialisms pronounced as words) in small caps, so in the days of CD-ROMs, they'd write the word like this:

Bangladesh's PM was just sentenced to death for ordering last year's brutal crackdown.
Are any politicians running on a "We gotta start stacking these fascists like fucking cordwood" platform?

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
