Is that Safe (1995) with Julianne Moore?

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

wouldn't mind several orders of magnitude more of this

The nay for thee but yay for me market might not be the majority share, but my guess is that it's there, it's passionate about solutions that normies outside that biz don't care about, and that it may indeed have a long tail.

I come at it from the perspective of being a small business owner for many years - There are small/med things that do not have a large market, that would have made my life much easier - even if it is just centering more on the mental model for how people run their businesses.

Have you seen @craigmod.com’s essay on rolling his own small business accounting software - Craig is an early adopter to be sure, but this is a pattern I think will become bigger than we expect - Maybe not THE pattern, but a significant one…

Black t-shirt with a tiki-bar style illustration of Sleestak from Land of the Lost TV show

Yesterday – The day the first Land of the Lost memorabilia I’ve ever bought arrives (in the form of tiki-bar swag) – the co-creator of the show, Syd Krofft, dies…

Hmmmmm

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announces it has found a buyer to keep the newspaper open Owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said they have found a buyer who had agreed to keep the newspaper open, less than a month before it was due to shut down.

The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for.

Trump got Iran to defend the Pope. Maybe he does deserve a Nobel Peace Prize after all.

ah, got it. Trump is one of those guys who's familiar enough with christian theology to critique Pope Leo's leadership of the Catholic Church but not familiar enough with it to know who or what "Jesus" is.

Pete Hegseth realizing he can’t lie his way into reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

When Swalwell says, “I made mistakes in my marriage in recent years”, he is admitting that he repeatedly had sex with subordinates in his campaigns/office.

He is asking us to believe that they were consensual, as if that would be full exoneration.

A boss like that should be fired, not promoted.

The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

Yeah this is why I can't watch it live

All four astronauts standing in the aisle with their roller bags waiting for the door to open.

Reminder

If leaders abuse the rule of law to make themselves immune to it, so that they can undermine the rights of others with impunity, by what moral or philosophical argument are they entitled to its protections, once they lose power? By what grace should they be sorted by law instead of by other means?

we should have a third industry besides AI and gambling

Finished it last weekend. Very good.
