It would be interesting to hear Obama make any comment on the war.

Midweek @onthemedia.bsky.social podcast, where I heard philosopher C. Thi Nguyen conclude: don't live your life to accumulate stuff, but rather "to be engaged in beautiful doing." E.g., playing games. Engaging discussion, but at the end I realized he never mentioned doing anything for anyone else.

People (like me) use sci-hub and libgen when friction from legit library services is intolerable. That friction is caused by layers of gatekeeping tech colliding with each other in my browser even as they bankrupt libraries. More effort to crush alternative services is one approach to fixing this.

One recurring thing about paper submissions from academic versus independent scholars is the scale of ideas. People with research jobs write 100 pages on, "Tuesday theories fail to adequately differentiate morning from afternoon," while the independent scholars write 19 pages on, "Time is a myth."

If all you know about Hasan Piker is from oppo research (he's antisemitic and pro-rape), that's unfortunate. He streams 50 hours a week.
