At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, if he wanted to transcend geography then he would have used heptagons!

Footnote 1: As a consequence of this approach to thinking and life, rationalists are, as a rule, unbelievably prolix, wall-eyed, and tedious writers, and also polyamorous.

"Wall-eyed" hit me as odd, so I go to look it up: https://www.wordnik.com/words/walleyed

The first entry:

adjective Often Offensive Affected with exotropia.

Well-played, Max!

Lame. It didn't even remember to specify pineapple as a topping.

The kids are going through an Adventure Time phase, and so I am reminded of this:

The quants who built DeepSeek in their 20% time must really feel the sting of all that communism, I tell you hwat.

 

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.

Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.

 

When you think MURDER, think MARCUS MUNITIONS!
