21. The Pope's Exorcist (2023). There are things about this that sound good on paper (Franco Nero plays the pope, vomits blood; a bit more nudity than I'm used to seeing in 2020s genre trash) but it never really grabbed me. This feels like the sort of creatively troublesome, mildly humiliating movie-within-a-movie the characters would struggle with making in a movie like Cat in the Brain or Broken Embraces.

It's well known that trains are more efficient at moving people than passenger cars, but it's amazing to see it quantified. The throughput difference is absolutely massive.

The Andressen manifesto is the gift that keeps giving because it inspires writing like this.

"The techno-optimist tribe gives off the distinct impression of people who have been so ridiculously rich for so long that they’ve just completely lost the plot about how the real world works. To be fair, this is an apt description of most of Silicon Valley."

#NavajoNation pushes for #radioactive waste remnants to be fully removed

The United Nuclear Corporation is asking to transfer 1 million cubic yards of mine waste to a spot still near the Nation

By: Arlyssa Becenti - October 22, 2021

“The #Navajo people have endured decades of radiation exposure and #contamination caused by #uranium mining and production, and continues to impact the health of individuals, families and communities. We strongly oppose the proposed amendment that would allow the transfer of uranium mine waste and contamination just a short distance from the Navajo Nation and the homes of our Navajo people.” -- Navajo President Jonathan Nez

If you haven't read "The Big Myth," you should (or at least the intro).

Andreesen, et al. are merely echoing the wealthy capitalists of 100 years ago, insisting that everything will be wonderful if we just let them do whatever they please.

Those capitalists fought against paid vacation, sick leave, workers' comp, the weekend, social security, the FDIC, rural electricity, and abolishing child labor.

Andreesen and his followers will do much, much worse if we let them.

It's not smart enough to be an AI overlord that would leave me jobless. Not even close. It gets confused easily.

However, when it works, having it auto-complete whole lines is kinda nice. It can do predictable mundane things like adding more assertions in tests.

That PR is 1 month old, no one merged it yet.

@StillIRise1963 Examples related to a previous discussion: Medicaid is politically unpopular because white folks think it all goes to poor Black people, when actually 2/3rds of people in nursing homes are paid for by Medicaid. So it’s their own last years they’re voting against. And demographically, since native born Americans aren’t having many kids, we need immigration to support Social Security and Medicare. But white xenophobia won’t allow it.
