Life is complicated. If someone behaves inexplicably, it could be for reasons they can hardly begin to explain.

This Issue 3 piece by @MarcHochstein is precisely the sort of strange, beautiful, and intelligent writing you’ll only find in the MRB. The piece is part review of the author’s father’s memoir of tabloid journalism, HEIRESS STRANGLED IN MOLTEN CHOCOLATE AT NAZI SEX ORGY . . .

Who knows where AI will take us … but if it’s “killing search,” it’s just as well. Search engines deserve to die, for disincentivizing headline wordplay in favor of rElEvAnCe. Imagine the cluttered headlines SEO would tell you to write instead of these charmers.

Dumb question Couldn’t we just build data centers on casino property to just avoid a lot of the restrictions?

In memory of the great Richard Lloyd October 25, 1951 – November 7, 2026 Tom Verlaine (sadly, without Richard Lloyd) - Marquee Moon - 1984 The music of Television, which Richard Lloyd, as the second guitarist, helped to shape in such a significant way, will always remind us of him.

Most people aren't that deep, they just hate data centres because the media fearmongered about them. We've had data centres for decades already and no one's batted an eye before

Why do people hate data centers so much? Because they are the physical manifestation of an oligarchy that treats their life and mind as collateral damage of profits.

One of the most disgusting things about the eugenicist, IQ obsessed, racist and sexist Effective Altruist movement is that their shield, their justification is “we help Africans.” Not a new playbook friends. That’s what your colonizer predecessors said.

Unless RFK Jr. is interested in spending the next two years in front of Congressional committees, he should go ahead and resign now.

“It’s better for 100 guilty men to go free than for one innocent man to be convicted” is a view that both parties seem to now question, but about different kinds of crimes. A last remnant of the Long 2016 to disappear will be the idea that politics is about rage & vengeance.

once a model is produced it’s infinitely replicable and downloadable across the world, to be run on toasters. anyone who is comparing the difficulty of regulating AI to regulating nuclear weapons is selling you a crock of shit
