Centralized social media all faces the "Superhero" problem, eloquently expressed in the 2025 James Gunn Superman.... So you have unilateral authority to stop bad things from happening, do you use it? How do you define what's good or bad? Superman could intervene to (say) end the North Korean government, stop genocides in progress... But should he? And then where should he draw the line then on what injustices he should or shouldn't stop? Whether you think Bluesky or Elon Musk is the "good guy" in charge, it's too dangerous to allow any single entity that level of control. Large segments of both the Left and the Right don't seem to get this.

Most know of Jim Henson as the creator of the muppets. Fewer know that he directed the #darkfantasy classics Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal. Even fewer (myself included before tonight) are familiar with his earlier, highly experimental work in the late 60s and early 70s... Including "The Cube", a #surrealist nightmare of (self?) imprisonment that seems to be both the spiritual successor to "The Prisoner" and the inspiration for the 90s #scifi #horror classic that's just "Cube". A man wakes up in a brightly lit cube, apparently a prisoner. Various characters walk in and out, interacting with the man in various ways. Furniture appears and disappears when he's not looking. Has he been imprisoned? Will he die here, as some of his guests darkly imply? And what's up with that strawberry jam?

Can someone explain to me the "permanent underclass" meme/idea/anxiety, especially among young silicon Valley coders? It seems like an awfully Marxist view, for one -- "haves and have nots" and all of that. But more than that, isn't the whole point of the "AI godhead" thing to create permanent prosperity, not some "underclass"?

This "The board" AI news slophouse is getting out of hand. Now there are deepfake "analysts" who pop up in threads to give their "commentary." Ban one and another one pops up. They all have deep fake human portraits, etc. I notice that none of these bots have verified NIP-05's, which might be an effective filtering mechanism, but there doesn't seem to be any way of filtering based on this in clients... So Client dev suggestion: Add "doesn't have NIP-05" or something like that as a filter?

Everything is rumor with #ufos, but Vance (unprompted) spilled the beans on a narrative that many within the Pentagon allegedly believe: That UAPs are "demonic" in nature, and that's why they need to be concealed. View quoted note →
