I watched Yarvin’s Sheldonian lecture. What struck me is that he’s describing real institutional failures, but he completely misdiagnoses the cause. He treats “democracy” as the problem, when the actual collapse is upstream.
See also Curtis Yarvin's remarks in a recent Oxford lecture:
"Say what you want about MBS, he's quite an effective king I think in a lot of different ways. Um love the Ritz thing, the whole Saudi embassy thing, I don't know, but I mean he was a journalist". [Giggles]

One of the greatest things anyone has ever said to me was to explain that when you randomly decide to pick up a rock it’s because the rock has decided it wants to travel. It gives me joy to ponder.

Wow this is amazing
Tucson AZ regulated light because of all the astronomical instillations nearby. Not sure what it’s like now, but nice to experience in the 1980s.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Imagine if tech companies felt obligated to create good products for their customers/users
Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state.
That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators
To fine it for running scam ads.

I find myself debating whether I upgrade to an M5 and give money to a company that donated to build the Epstein Ballroom and also can’t design a UI worth a crap
Or try Linux on desktop for the first time in many years
Or just keep what I’ve got now (M1 with 16gb ram)

Basically, if these companies are successful at paying back their investments, they'll need to harvest double-digit percentages of every Western worker's paycheque. And if not, well, this is going to happen as the hardware depreciates faster than it's generating ROI: pracap.com/an-ai-addend...

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Ever since my daughter got excited about "supporting" Taylor Swift by buying "Taylor's Version" albums, I've wanted to write something like what @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social did so brilliantly here. Spot on. Swift is the embodiment of capitalist realism.
