seemed obvious at the time, but if anyone's curious in 2013 we got official confirmation the jump-between-skyscrapers map is a matrix reference. if the movie came out a year later we wouldn't have gotten this level
"We came back from watching The Matrix, and the “jump program” inspired DM-Morpheus"
No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
We are getting old Joe.
Goldorak themed whiskey from hinotori distillery. Random food an flowers in the background.
I wonder whether this is a stronger product in Japan or Mexico.
Happy Halloween
I wrote a piece on the work of writer and director James Gunn, who is engaged in a pretty incredible ongoing enterprise that despises bigotry and authoritarianism and reaffirms patriotism for progressives. www.vulture.com/article/jame...
Going to see this with my daughter. I'm lucky she's into this... otherwise I wouldn't have recognized as quickly how important a development this is for our society.

Yeah, this is my hope. That AI isn't making us stupider it's showing us how stupid we have always been. If you read a lot how can you relate to someone who reads never?
TBF, she fits the profile of someone hired to sus out bullshit, owing to her extensive experience in that field.

Reading Rainbow revival four episodes on KidZuko on YouTube. Mychal smiles and holds the four books in the stills for each clip. They each have an assortment of views.
Filmed four episodes of Reading Rainbow, all are out on KidZuko on YouTube 😁
Thankful to still be in the world for this journey. Highest of honors for one of Reading Rainbow & LeVar Burton’s biggest fans ✨
Proud & grateful for all involved! 🦋🌌

Who woulda guessed?
This is the kind of truth we overlook for the same reasons we teach action bias to leaders as a good thing while we study action fallacy as the reason why we choose bad leaders.
Such a ham handed way to convince players it's not about the destination...
Isn't part of the resistance that we don't believe that WE are cruel... So we accidentally give them leeway hoping for ourselves. If we just accept that we are sometimes we can accept that they are sometimes (well kind of a lot) and we'd all be better adjusted ppl too.
I'm such a product of my times that I have to spend active energy to make sense of the effort to preserve the past. My emotional levels are hostile at holding back progress and neutral about keeping old goods. Pretty sure that is an exploitable condition.
Every time I see a social media meme about being an introvert, which is at least once a week, I think about how the modern conception of introversion was popularized by a book by a woman who worked on Wall Street who felt that she was so different and special compared to her coked up male colleagues
Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.
The only possible valid counter argument to this is that many were already... "Subcognitive" my "hope" is that the same percentage of people will be incurious as always. That this is all good because AI is exposing an age old problem and forcing us to face it.
I hear this and accept it. On a more philosophical note, does the lack of physical mechanics demand we assign less motive to an idea than a virus even if it behaves similarly?
I think the writing on Cambridge Analytica after the 2016 election counts.
If everything else was fine this might just be a whatever drama in the government. Instead it is a great example of what we've become.
I feel like if I wanted to turn the casual nerds, I would distort the stories they only paid partial attention to into the narrative I wanted them to follow. Not like this isn't happening all the time nowadays.
It's not a virus, but how much does this differ from the foods we eat driving us to eat more compulsively and do other things more compulsively as the population accumulates sickness and risk?
8. Let's talk about baculoviruses! This is a group of viruses that infect caterpillars and manipulate their behavior, making them climb, die and then melt into puddles of virus-laden sludge. Gooey caterpillar slurry drips onto leaves, which are then eaten by other caterpillars—creating more zombies
Something that really stuck with me from those conversations was the idea that reward systems strip away self expression. That any incentive means playing by the rules of the system.

Glad to get these pics of so many people on the streets I'm so used to seeing day to day.
Oh, and... so comforting to see so many sharing in their concern about the government's subversion of the will of the people.
This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
