Yes, if you continue to be friends with someone who deliberately & repeatedly commits heinous crimes then you are a bad person. If you continue to be friends, knowing that they are secretly committing crimes then you are definitely complicit. Also, someone needs to check that guy’s hard-drive, stat.
There’s a segment of the right that lives on the reflected prestige of eugenicist thinkers who have been revealed as Epstein-adjacent. I understand the bind they’re in but I think most people would happily cut off former friends who were implicated in the sexual abuse of minors

You can’t sit on stacks of redacted evidence, turn a blind eye to survivors, defend a president who spent years partying with Epstein, and then act like you’re “tough on crime.” You’re shielding predators and their powerful allies, you’re part of the abuse.

A reminder that one thing that allowed Darwin to focus on science was a large team of servants that catered to his every need.
I've been thinking about how Victorian Era scientists accomplished so much work, until I came across this:
The Darwin family lived at Down House with a butler, cook, gardener, coachman, housemaid, two nursery maids, and a governess for the girls.
Never less than 8 servants lived at Down House.

Right. Heads-up that the government's trying to push more transphobic guidance into schools (because of course they fucking are), and per the BBC '[a] new consultation on Thursday's updated guidance is due to run for 10 weeks.'
So we find it, we fill it in, we tell them how wrong they are. Again.

This is the funniest shit I've seen in years.
A Korean bitcoin market intended to give away prizes worth ₩620,000 or about $425. Instead, they gave away 620,000 bitcoins worth roughly $40 BILLION at the time—despite not actually holding that many tokens. It’s a massive failure of crypto safety protocols. Now they’re asking for the coins back.

Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

I stand by my opinion that everyone claiming to not understand why anyone is against genAI in TYoOL 2026, or that anyone against it is just a hysteric incapable of reason, is a fucking faker.
Once again: people are angry for very good reason, and this brand of post is perhaps one of the most tedious and bewildering. Practically every social media platform is rabidly pro-‘AI’ so are govts, academia, companies. This one small space being critical of AI is okay, I think.

New One Page RPG: 101 Dalmatian Pelicans
Conservation groups are exploring whether Dalmatian Pelican – a species extinct in Britain for millennia – could be reintroduced to British wetlands, in what would be one of the most ambitious rewilding projects proposed in recent years:
Ambitious Dalmatian Pelican reintroduction plans weighed up
A panel is assessing whether Dalmatian Pelican could be reintroduced to British wetlands, a prospect that excites some conservationists but raises practical and ecological questions over habitat suitability and long-term viability.

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.
This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.

oh it's just like the bit where Richard Thaler and Selena Gomez are playing blackjack in The Big Short
On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year.
29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now.
Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.
