TIL about Regicide, a co-op card game you can buy, but that you can also just play with a plain deck of cards, thanks to the designers being really nice and releasing a pdf of the rules you can play with if you want. I haven’t played it yet but I’ve heard very good things. It’s a nice thing to know about, especially for introducing to people who maybe don’t buy games (yet) or who are strapped for cash to spend on them. https://www.regicidegame.com/how-to-play/
if i ran firefox, this is what i would say wrt AI in firefox in 2026.
1. ai is exciting!
2. it's also in its infancy.
3. we don't know yet how or if it connects to the web.
4. the web is 100% our #1 priority.
5. so we're going to wait.
6. for now firefox is a no-ai browser.
7. we won't include ai until we know why.
8. and then it will be opt-in.
9. and we will continue to make firefox the best web browser.
sincerely,
the developers of firefox

We have reached a new era of civil engineering; now we can build bridges by simply dumping truckloads of shit into the river until the shit mountains are tall enough that some people and maybe cars can cross the river. Truly, it is a revolutionary technology that democraticizes access to bridges; now everyone can dump a truckload of shit over small rivers here and there and cross the rivers instead of asking an engineer to build the bridge for them. This approach completely removes all the bottlenecks in engineering, too: no need to navigate difficult legal frameworks or ethical concerns. The biggest players on the market are staring to replace their bridges with shit mountains, you'd better be catching up and learning how to use this new groundbreaking technology. Some of you have ethical concerns, but this is beyond of the scope of my post. I also recognise that some might notice fish in the rivers dying, or simply slip on the shit; just you wait, I bet it'll be fixed in ~6 months
re: me being bitter about genai
Look, there are lots of skeptics out there, but the shit mountains are becoming really useful these days. With just a shit mountain or two you could reach places that previously required a ladder or a bridge or a vehicle. The vehicle part is still out of reach, but in the future we can make shit mountains placed in such a way that, when we pour some shit between them, would allow us to reach the destination almost as fast as cars and boats. And it runs on shit, and as you know, shit is virtually free, you can literally go to a number of websites and get the shit for free. You can even get open-sourced shit these days, and pour it locally. Open source shit mountains are not as good as the commercial ones yet, but we're getting there.
Anyway, the bottom line, shit mountains are here to stay. Learn how to live with them.

For #SuperbOwlSunday here's the beautiful Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) that visited our backyard a while ago and kindly posed for a photo! 🦉

NEW: In a protest against the University of Minnesota’s accommodation of DHS and ICE, six students chained themselves to Morrill Hall, which houses the campus’s administration and has been the site of large scale protests over the decades, demanding university President Rebecca Cunningham declare the university a sanctuary campus. Three of the chained students left after being threatened with academic retaliation and police arrested the remaining three. [Full story coming soon.]

I didn't watch Caprica when it first appeared (well, I managed to get half way through the first episode) but it's a new landscape now and in some ways that makes it more interesting. It's basically about the risks of training an AI on a broad corpus and then hoping that with a bit of prompting you can specialize it for specific tasks without the inherited biases leaking through.
Creepy thing is I've never seen Waymo ads before but I keep getting them in this show (streaming on Peacock) and they start "The robots, they're coming..." I'm just hoping it's a coincidence and you're all seeing the same ad.

Have a lovely #superbOwl day.
My wife - who has never shown any interest In American football - has organised a #SuperbOwl party for her friends: a bunch of weirdo, arty folks who have also never been interested. She's got owl stuffies and party favours. I've been voluntold to figure out how to get the game 🏴☠️ and make sliders. I have even less interest in the game. Go Owls! 
Friends don't let friends use AI.
I'm tired.
I just want owls.
Especially superb owls.
Honestly this is increasingly tempting

극우의 성장
이번 주말에 오랫만에 보는 친구들에게서, 공공 영역에 대한 불신이 커지고 있다는 느낌을 받았다. 더 정확히 말하면 현실의 시장과 권력 관계에 대한 공공의 조정 시도에 대한 거부인데, 이게 시장의 균형을 기대하는 자유주의가 아니라 극우적 힘의 논리에 가까워지고 있다는 점이 우려스러웠다. 부에 대한 숭배와 노동에 대한 멸시가 극우 이념적 흐름으로 버무려지며 영향력을 키워 가고 있었다. 쉽지 않은 시대다. 하지만 싸우지 않을 수 없다.

Première épreuve nocturne des #JOdeLaSieste
Imagine where Facebook would be today if Zuckerberg had invested in renewable power instead of reimagining Wii Sports as a shopping mall for your face.
I think we're entering a new stage in the war between billionaires and the rest of us.
It is a war of attrition and every chance we have to degrade their ability to use their power we should take.
Work with your neighbours. Fight and win every court case. Small and big labour strikes. Boycotts. Crash the market. Jam up everything for them. Win the elections. All of it to press them back.
And while we're fighting in all those ways, we need to dream up the world we want beyond their systems of greed and exploitation.
