jana h-s tweet from Nov 15, 2022 reading: fun computer fact! if moore's law holds true, by the year 2025, each of your teeth will contain a tiny computer, screaming for your attention at all times. their small, terrified voices will whisper you to sleep every night, like scared children describing shapes in the dark

Ireland island-wide needs laws against incitement to hate and needs police services that will actually enforce those laws against the perpetrator and the platforms that collaborate.

Continued refusal to act against fascist violence is allowing it to build momentum until violence is all you'll get.

One day everyone will accept Netanyahu to be pure evil. It will be a mainstream consensus. At that point he will be used as a convenient sponge for all the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated in his time. As if it all started and ended with him. Always remember - it was never just him

I recently learned about Russian painter Ivan Aivazosky and I may never recover. I don't think I've ever seen water done like he does it. I don't think I've ever felt an artist loved water as much as I feel he must have. It's so incredible I could vomit.

Ivan Aivazovsky's painting "Ship on Stormy Seas" depicts a wildly canting sailing ship in the middle distance of a storm-ridden sea. In the foreground, a wave of flawless translucent blue forms, and it's so incredibly depicted I could just vomit.

A screencap of the classic Star Wars crawl. The text reads: Episode X The Last Temptation of Christ It is a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. JESUS, a humble Judean carpenter beginning to see that he is the son of GOD, is drawn into revolutionary action against the Roman occupiers by JUDAS—despite his protestations that love, not violence, is the path to salvation. The burden of being the savior of mankind torments JESUS throughout his life, leading him to doubt. As he is put to death on the cross, Jesus is tempted by visions of an ordinary life…

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

Online radicalisation of elites is a significant and yet poorly understood aspect of contemporary politics.

Holy shit, when Richard Hanania is not far enough right for you. Would love to hear what US Senators and prominent bloggers doing appearances with Andreessen think.

This is the same gormless, feckless gombeen bastard who used Brianna Ghey's murder to get a photo opp with the girl's mother and lambast Rishi Sunak's attacks on trans people.

I wrote this on young men, and why we need to stop lying about why they're easy prey for reptiles like Andrew Tate.
