That might be true, if the Democrats weren't completely complicit and working in lockstep with the Republicans for the last four decades.

Or hadn't you noticed?

Both parties are owned by the same oligarchs. Pretending that one is Good and the other is Evil just hands our future to the oligarchs again.

Dit was een boeiende podcast (in ieder geval S1), over wat je zoal kunt doen met AI-powered voice agents. Helemaal gebingeluisterd, nu heel nieuwsgierig naar S2 (en naar de toekomst i.h.a.). #shellgame #podcast #ai https://www.shellgame.co

Speed-listening to #shellgame podcast… 🤖

A hilariously funny, cringey and thought inspiring podcast about the future of AI agents: Shell Game by Evan Ratliff. Just finished listening to the second season, where we hear the story about a company lead by AI agents: In awe, disbelief and sometimes horror. #shellgame

For those Americans who want to collect the $2000 tariff rebate Trump repeatedly teased, all you need to do is guess which shell the pea is hidden under. (Or maybe he'll mail it out with his tax returns, the ones he promised to release in 2016). Good luck. #shellgame

New project to share and compose Nix devshells:

I'm a fan of Numtide's devshells, but have struggled to fold my ad hoc definitions for unflaked projects into published devshells for my projects with flakes. This fixes it for me.

The half shells were separated into 2 octagonal boxes (桶): 'shells to be played' (出貝), representing earth/yin, and 'shells fixed in place' (地貝), symbolising heaven/yang.

At its most elaborate 360 matched shells (1 for each day of the year) would be in play, with 20 players!

Clam shells from Ise Bay were considered ideal for 'kai-awase' (貝合わせ) as they fit comfortably in a girl's hand (this pastime was mostly played by women).
Once polished, the interior of the shells were covered with paper and gold leaf, onto which scenes or images were painted.

Now here's the tricky part.

Players do not look at the underside, but rather guess based on the shell's plain top (and memory).

Matching pairs would fit perfectly together.

A player confirms a match by showing the related images on the underside (cheating was impossible!).

🐚19 'fixed in place shells' (地貝 jigai) were arranged in a circle (representing 12 months/7 days), with the remaining shells placed in 9 lines (the layers of heaven).

🐚1 of the 'shells to be played' (出貝 dashigai) was placed face down and the task of finding its partner began.

🐚SHELL GAME🎴

To while away those rainy afternoons...a game of 'kai-awase' (貝合わせ).
Traditional or seasonal scenes are painted in elaborate detail on the inside of shells. The aim of the game is to find pairs amongst the shells (each half related in some way).

Even before the whole Twitter thing, it always seemed like Tesla was a bit of a shell game.
