damn aaron swartz tried to warn everybody about sam altman

I would highly recommend Kaiba. It's my favorite series of all-time, incredible art, a lush world, sci-fi dystopian intrigue, ruminations on class and religion, and its all done in 12 episodes. Just an all-time that changed how I think about storytelling that doesn't get enough love.

To put it in even further perspective — Lockheed Martin produced both the spacecraft for the Artemis mission and the PRsM missile that shot tungsten pellets into an elementary school in Lamerd.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Review) YouTube video by Wavelengths

clair obscur is a hard game to talk about. on one hand a gorgeous love letter to the very best of the rpg genre, on the other hand a bloated and confused narrative that doesn't quite stick its landing.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.

One woman has lived in a witch camp for 45 years. She arrived at 40. Her husband died. His co-wife's children blamed her.
She is 85 now. The accusation was never revisited. Never withdrawn.
The word that expelled her has never expired.

Witchcraft accusations were never about magic.
They were about property. Every woman burned at the stake owned something another person wanted.

Paul Thomas Anderson Hate Study I’ve seen enough. I’ve heard enough. My loved ones have heard enough (of me). It’s time to bring it to the roundtable.

@nellynkettles.bsky.social hating to the max

Can’t think of any precedent for this. An entire regional tournament, weeks of football, being decided this way feels off. Morocco ridiculously influential within African football and cohost of 2030 World Cup.
