Fusion. I think it’s our only hope of making it through climate change without massive losses.

After the bandaids are applied he’s taking everyone to McDonalds for hot fudge sundaes.

That’s the cool uncle who smokes weed.

You ask for good news to help you feel better and then when I try to offer some you criticize it? You’re certainly not one of the helpers. Mr Rogers would not be proud of you. Go back to doomscrolling then.

MacKenzie Scott giving away billions over the years, most recently this: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/19/business/mackenzie-scott-donates-640-million-open-call/index.html

Yep, and all gleaned from publicly available interviews.

The funny thing is that Spez didn’t even come up with the idea of Reddit. Him and Ohanian showed up with some other dumb idea and Paul Graham was like, that’s stupid, try this idea of mine.

Then Spez put together some shitty code in Lisp of all languages, which Aaron Schwartz had to rewrite in Python. The site was so unstable that Spez slept with his laptop so he could reboot it in the middle of the night.

They used sock puppets because nobody was posting enough content. Then they cashed out and fucked off, leaving Aaron to rewrite it, and Erik Martin to actually make a proper community out of it.

Then Spez comes riding back into town over a decade later to claim credit while he fucks the whole site up by selling out.

Truly a masterclass in incompetent white male privilege.

Streisand effect intensifies!

Spelunky. My Vita was basically a Spelunky machine.

French tarot is still played and is quite fun, especially when you play with five people and your partner is secret and known only to them until they reveal themselves with their play. It’s a bridge-like game where you try to win tricks and the arcana are the trump suit instead of picking one of the other four suits.
