Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Imagine being this person’s family

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

I think about this a lot

when Nickelodeon bought the building next door and expanded the studio in Burbank, they placed quotes from former creators around the campus.

This one from my all time favorite Nick show The Adventures of Pete and Pete is like the blueprint I strive for in my own writing.

The original sketch of the Alien Facehugger, done in an almost comically simple style. First figure is an upright oval with a circle on the upper portion. Second figure the circle has popped off (indicated by an arrow) and a creature is launching out of the hole (indicated by another arrow). The creature looks like a circle with six thick curved legs and a cartoonist toothy frowny face.

I keep coming back to the original first draft Alien facehugger sketch. If you can start with that and end up with one of the most iconic designs in horror movie history, then there's no excuse for AI.

A fluffy white cat reclines in a modern white lounge chair, lying on its back with its front paws resting on its belly and back legs stretched out. The cat looks relaxed and content, as if lounging like a person in the sunlight near a window.

Good, I see the council is assembled. We have mews from the outer rim to discuss.

The downfall of so many libertarian efforts - cyber- and otherwise - can be summed up by their failure to understand the fundamental truth of the first line of a John Donne poem:

No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

it's *lovely* when you get a run of days or weeks or months when you can do something totally consistently. it's really nice and you make great progress.

but inevitably something will come along to break your consistency. so the more important thing is to have the skill of coming back.

Feels good folks

Thread. (TLDR: the House of Lords DCC report on AI came down hard on the correct side of the debate, rather than siding with industry lobbyists.)

Where things stand with the Department of War A statement from Dario Amodei

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

Quite an opening paragraph.

My brain is stuck on the idea of what poor soul had to sit next to Andrew Tate on a long distance bus.

my take on Joss Whedon is that he was literally not allowed to be in a room alone with a child, and that's kind of the end of the story for me.

where are they finding these people how is it possible to even have this endless supply of humans who don't understand literally anything about human behaviour

Try your damndest to live your life so that if you were fired from your job and about to give a speech that someone would tell you.

Honestly, yes. Firefly’s not for me, but single malt might be 😁

I really hope not. I went right off Firefly about 3/4 of the way through and it looks worse in retrospect.

The takeaway from the success of Iron Lung isn't to fund YouTubers making sci-fi movies about games.

The secret is that Markiplier is a creative person who made something that excited him.

This is also the secret sauce behind Sinners.

There is no repeatable trend. Fund creative people. The end

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.

Or Octodad Remnant Architect, maybe? I can see it

Still blows my mind that Ramon Tikaram, Dorian's voice actor, also voiced Godrick the Grafted in Elden Ring. VAs are magic, I swear 😅
