Be deeply skeptical of any argument that blames average people instead of the systems that entrap them and the leaders who fail them.

The assholes in charge want us to blame each other so we don’t come after them. Don’t help them.

On @pablo.show I talked about the limits of generative AI, and why the brainstorming process—which LLMs mostly eliminate, imo—is fundamental to doing *good* work.

Even if Marathon was awesome (it's fine) and even if it was the game for me (it's not) none of that would matter.

Between the art theft, shitty c-suite, and just my overall disappointment at the this game being the wrong genre, there's just an insurmountable ick for me with Marathon.

Hard pass.

Four rounds of severe weather will impact the Southern Plains from Wednesday through Saturday. Over 15 million people face threats of large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes, with Friday potentially being the most dangerous. Have a safety plan ready.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Christians would actually read the Bible and learn what their own religion actually teaches?

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
