So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.
Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse. 3/

50 years ago tonight, crazy horse trippin' at the budokan. https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/185911293867/neil-young-crazy-horse-budokan-hall-tokyo

![The show at the Nippon Budokan Hall Tokyo on March 11 was being filmed for a documentary and recorded for a live album, and-without telling their bandmates-Billy and Poncho dropped acid before going on. "We did 'Cowgirl in the Sand' and Billy and Ralph went up to sing the backgrounds," Poncho continues. "I opened my eyes and saw big manda- las comin' out of the back of both their heads, all these colors 'n shit. I couldn't even look up, I was so high. I'd hit the strings of my guitar-they were like eighty different colors and they bounced off the floors and hit the ceiling. At the end of the second song Neil came runnin' over, stuck his head between me and Billy and goes, 'Man, we're psychedelic tonight!' ] just looked at Billy, thinkin', 'He told him, he told him.' The whole rest of the night I don't even think we made a mistake. It was unbelievable."]4

One more thought about Connor before I move on.

The irony of Conner funding his girlfriend's play. Connor, who believes free market capitalism is the answer to everything, invested hundreds of thousands in *live theatre* lmao.

He's seems completely oblivious to the fact that capitalism continues to kill the arts, and what exists must accept donations, grants, and other government handouts to survive.

The human.json thing was big news a couple of days ago, but I finally put down Pokémon Pokopia for long enough to make one myself. I also finally made the /ai slash page that I’ve been putting off publishing for too long.

In the end, none of them won. They couldn't work together so, someone outside the family took power. But it's even worse than that.

Each of Logan's kids has a strong skill.

Roman can read people.

Shiv can get people to go against their best interests.

Kendall understands the financial mechanics of the business.

Connor is impervious to mean people (lol).

Working together, they could've saved the empire. But they rather destroy what they couldn't have.

Scary notion.

man, if you thought afghanistan/iraq were bad, Iran seems significantly more prepared for a US attack and way more willing to drag it out for a very long time.

The people in charge are really just not very smart.

Can we just put it bluntly?

If you're vibe-coding open source, you are *not* doing open source.

To do open source, you must be creating source code that both has clear provenance *and* the new code you're writing is IP you have full rights to offer under compatible license. As is quickly becoming clear, that second one is getting tested and failing legal checks in places like the US.

So, Tom represents the WASPs. But he also exists to show how the cycle of abuse works in classist systems like American capitalism.

Shiv dehumanizes Tom because ultimately she believes he's beneath her station. So, Tom internalizes that and passes on the abuse to Craig, oops I mean Greg.

Greg, of course, represents how quickly money and power corrupts. That boy got bougie real quick.

ChatGPT as a cognitive crutch: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial on knowledge retention
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssaho.2025.102287
"Study suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use impaired long-term retention, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory. The findings align with cognitive offloading theory and the ‘desirable difficulties’ principle: while AI assistance may ease initial learning, it appears to undermine the effortful processes needed for robust learning."

I can go on about Shiv. She's one of my favorite characters. Second maybe only to Mr. Tom Wambsgans.

Which brings me to their relationship. Holy shit. And believe it or not, I think there's *more* allegory in them hills!

Tom represents the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant WASP power structure—upper middle class, but not rich, less relevant today.

Shiv clearly doesn't respect Tom or his "agricultural walk" lmao. Their dynamic hints that liberalism, absent of class analysis, can often be classist.

Shiv is a compelling choice for Logan. She represents this new world where you must treat women like humans, and cool it on the racial slurs. And it's a world that's costing Logan a lot of money in legal fees.

So Shiv could be a signal that Waystar Roy Co. has *gone woke*. And that could chill the SA allegations.

But, ultimately, Shiv is a woman. I don't think Logan can bring himself to give his empire to a woman. Any boy, isn't that how the cards are dealt for liberalism too sometimes.

@baldur @707Kat Except, if you ask a programmer to make your "app idea" they'll at least tell you why it would be difficult and give you an idea of how much it would cost to do it.

The AI will just give you *something*. So you *feel* productive, because you don't know any better. And they've got your subscription money while you try to keep vibe-coding your way to success.
