OpenAI preprint gives a deterministic, polynomial-space algorithm that would refute the Exponential Time Hypothesis. It doesn't show that P = NP, but damn if this is not a huge deal anyways. github.com/openai/math/...

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

It has come to my attention that many people are unaware that the person who figured out that the private key was 4 was a Something Awful forums goon: forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.p...

Going for a run through neighborhoods of Tokyo remains one of my top 10 feelings to experience.

In Opinion “The inside of even a well-run slaughterhouse is a sickening sight,” @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. Even the “comforting narrative” of humane slaughter “bears little relation to the horror that livestock and poultry often endure in their final moments on the way to our dinner plates.”

Lake Superior Performance Rally (LSPR) carousel 🎠 my first time ever doing professional media, and can't wait to do it again! #rally

my friend @juddlegum.bsky.social has put together a cool new tool that allows you to photograph political mail and immediately learn who paid for it. Check it out here:

Very proud of my wife Amy (left) and her continuing growth as a co-driver. Michelle Miller (right) is a seasoned pro and it was awesome to see these two send it at Tour de Forest! Also fun to be support crew for a change - tho I need to remember sunscreen… #rally

Fuck. #rally

Rally1 send off coming up. C'mon Solberg lol #rally #wrc

For more than a decade, our rescue teams have saved the lives of thousands of dogs who have endured unimaginable suffering on South Korea’s dog meat farms. This week, with only months to go before a dog meat ban, we completed our final large-scale rescue there. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/hist...

Now the question is... which of these can I figure out how to drive lol #rally

Overmountain 2026 photos up now. If I can find time for video today it'll be great and I can stop thinking about this lol #ara #rally #motorsports

Finally had a bit of time to get some photos from Ojibwe up. Better late than never. #ara #rally #motorsports

Every time I have to interact with some AI prompt setup, I can't help but feel like I've somehow come to live in a perverse William Gibson novel with far less cyberpunk aesthetic. I don't think the coat of paint would make things better but it'd at least be a more novel experience.

Finally have a phone again after a few weeks of going without. (I jumped in a pool and forgot it was in my pocket and refuse to use any of the FaceID phones) Anyway I’m ready to go back to not having one again lol

Also noticing now that AI has effectively stolen the authenticity trait of <> placeholders that've been used since like the late 90s on forums and stuff i.e it reads as an AI generator placeholder This is my emdash moment

Some of the people who write about Mamdani's handling of Trump during that press conference come across as never learning how to code switch. <Insert meme of "y'all got any more of them Mamdani's" in here>

People can joke all they want, but when I look at these designs I at least feel like there's human expression behind them There's a lot I don't mourn from the "old web" but the sense of human and artistic expression is definitely one thing I miss, especially as more sites now have clear AI designs

OverMountain's a slog of a rally. Everything hurts lol But looks like I locked in 2nd in National L2WD at least. Congrats to Henry Tabor & Dylan Hooker on 1st in L2WD overall; incredibly skilled & a blast to compete against. Also a blast racing with Ryan Tuerck, insane times from him! #rally #ara

Well. Ryan Tuerck is very fast lol

Arrived in Newport TN. Psyched for OverMountain even if this is a big uphill battle to keep any kind of L2WD hopes alive - Henry and Dylan are damn fast. It's rally though, so anything could happen. Also very cool to have Ryan Tuerck in the paddock. Staggering number of big names here this week!

OverMountain is absolutely 100% stacked this year and it's incredible to see. #rally

The perfect post-Rally calorie bomb. @ Modern Times in MSP

Chilling. Fantastic work by @oldpete45.bsky.social for @bellingcat.com.

Another 2nd place in National L2WD this past weekend. Equal parts frustrating and happy. Strong recovery and a bit of luck after early issues from contact with a surprise boulder. Congrats again to Henry Tabor and Dylan Hooker. Insanely impressive performance. #rally #ara

Pajari makes history with third consecutive WRC win #WRC

Rough day one of Ojibwe, sigh. Hit a hefty… something? Coming around a 4L. Guessing someone further up the order pulled it out. Such is rally. Will try to work my way back tomorrow I guess

I designed a new shirt to try to explain the fundamental nature of the human condition roryblank.bigcartel.com

I was wondering where the Ferrari-powered Subaru that was in the ARA has been the last little while. Turns out, Sam Albert has plans. Big plans. 🏎️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNlB...

Quick thoughts on the Browns announcing Deshaun Watson is their starting QB

Fun moment in class today Our instructor was quick to remind everyone that the DC street race was in fact not historic and had been done before And a far superior car and team took the victory

You absolutely love to see it. #rally #ara #wrc

The most significant extension to the protocol since launch—atproto spaces—is now officially alpha software you can start testing with. Here's more about the goals and how to start testing. atproto.com/blog/atproto...

Disgusting.

5:49.927 up Mt. Washington at a new sim lounge that opened here in Seattle. iRacing-based with motion support, etc - well built rigs that are fun to practice on. Owner is awesome and really invested in building an amazing space. Now I wanna try a hill climb in real life lol www.tonightwerace.gg

2 hours arguing with 3 insurance companies this morning. Just put me out of my misery lol

Scrolling through my camera roll and realized I forgot to post this.

Formula E getting a global streaming route via Disney+ is great for the sport, albeit horrible for my "I do not want to pay for Disney+ and give that company more money" personality trait. Highlights it is, I guess.

Wait, stop, hold the fuck up

A fun bit of rally history. Definitely took me a minute to get used to, the brakes are… tricky. Fun once you’ve got it though! #rally #estonia

There is an amazing full motion rally sim rig in a cafe near Himos Resort at the end of Rally Finland. I usually don't find that rally sims feel good to me but this one felt super spot on. Spent a good hour or two there. As long as WestJet doesn't cancel my flight home, this'll be a perfect week.

Solberg's final stage push through pain was wild to watch.
