This is a good episode with good discussions about incel culture. Kat Abugazela is the guest (she's running for Congress 🎉).

As a man, I feel like I should be talking more about the male loneliness epidemic in a way that's helpful to younger men who are falling down these toxic rabbit holes. But in a way that doesn't excuse the worst of them.

I'm just thinking out loud at the moment, obviously. Anyway, good episode.

The Trump bloodhounds have just won in court against an “Antifa cell” belonging to the "Antifa domestic terrorist organization.” Here are some useful antifa facts:

1. There is no antifa organization. You can't find it, join it, give it money, or identify any leaders.
2. There are likewise no antifa cells, outside of Pam Bondi’s fever dreams.
3. Even so, if you yourself are not antifascist, what's the matter with you?

Since we had dozens of video game demo stations at our various GDC events this week, I snuck an XScreenSaver kiosk into the mix. I'm not sure anyone noticed it.

How Obsidian Fixes Note-Taking’s Biggest Problem

Great video that discusses how note taking and personal knowledge can be procrastination tools 😬. I’ve gotten way better at not falling into the trap. But also, sometimes you gotta rebuild from the ground up. lol Which is what I’m doing.

Moving from Notion to Obsidian. Might make this a write up. Haven’t done a docs post in a while. https://youtu.be/DRBXGOr6faU

⚠️ Update: Two full weeks have now passed since #Iran fell into digital darkness amid a regime-imposed internet blackout.

The public remain isolated from the outside world with only a limited domestic intranet after 336 hours while state-approved accounts get whitelisted access.

one would think that “do you prefer personal convenience over avoiding the use of tools produced by a company closely collaborating with a concentration camp administration” is not a hard question.

@glyph fwiw my point of view is purely ethical: we shouldn't, especially in free software, use tools delivered by companies that actively collaborate with totalitarian organisations.

call it maximalism or naïvety, but i thought that the case of IBM and the nazi concentration camps should have taught us something.

@glyph on the other hand, both openai and anthropic literally contract with the concentration camps administration, chatbots were used by doge & al. to destroy USAID, and the american science, and healthcare – and claude was recently extensively used by the american military in the kill chain of the latest illegal war of aggression.

neither of those facts is disputable.

the question is how much literal human blood and literal human death will be too much, when the flip side is personal convenience.

The headline: Claude Code hacked these websites, we didn't ask it 😱

The article: we made http endpoints that act like something from an SQL injection vulnerability example from 2002. Then Claude used SQL injection techniques from 2002 that it probably got from an article about those.

Might not be Skynet

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

As someone who is unaware with how depositions work, when watching a deposition video and someone off-camera keeps saying “objection” but the deponent continues to answer without consulting their counsel, what is going on there? Is the statement of objection just there for the record, or is a judge/mediator off camera silently waving away the objection? Why does the deponent keep answering?

“It would be great if with standoff exquisite airstrikes we can fundamentally transform the politics of other countries,” said Justin Logan, the director of defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, which advocates military restraint. “But we can’t. There’s a certain American stubbornness on this point, and we keep learning these lessons over and over again.”

since the mid-1940s, US Presidents have become caught up in this illusion over and over again.
