I wish it were totally irrelevant, but my childhood in variously batshit apocalypse cults seems to have been useful preparation.
The thing I would like to convey to more normal people is that apocalypse cults have so much gravity because they produce a tremendously relieving clarity of purpose.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

I had to explain Yudkowsky to my boss yesterday because she was going to an AI tech conference today.
Had to use the words "Harry Potter fanfiction" in a business context!

They are creating the New Stanford Prison Experiment from the famous psychology experiment, "don't ever do the Stanford Prison Experiment again"
Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’.
The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

My FAQ, which includes questions like “am I transphobic?”, “am I in the Epstein files?”, and “do I have mold in my house?”, is prompting a lot of questions already answered by the FAQ.
JK Rowling putting up a disclaimer about having mold in her castle in the FAQs section of her website is satisfying.
She was so bothered about the mold she learned how to blur her backgrounds, now this.
Bullies are such pathetic creatures.

“Thousands of LessWrong posts”
Nate Silver has an extremely high opinion of his ability to apply his intelligence way outside of its field of study and it is often hysterical.
The worst parts of his book were the PDoom chapters. Absolute dogpoop stuff.

Lang’s rally at City Hall Park was given a permit by @nycparks.bsky.social but any marching in the street is NYPD territory, and they did not receive an NYPD permit. Will have to look later for permit details but it does look like NYPD facilitated, and led, a christofascist parade in NYC on 9/11.

I want to make sure everyone in the city is aware that SUNY Downstate operates a large and extremely skilled LGBTQ and gender affirming care clinic, and we have repeatedly reiterated our intention to go to jail before we stop.
BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday that it reached an “agreement” with Mount Sinai Health System in which it will “cease providing” gender-affirming medical care to minors and dedicate $2 million to providing care to those “suffering harmful consequences” of such care.
