You can't bomb a country into an unconditional surrender, so this is essentially a commitment for boots on the ground.
I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
Today’s weak jobs report raises new questions about Biden’s economic policies
this appears to be correct.

"A better world is possible" used to be an uplifting message about the dream of creating a better future.
Now it is just a straightforward statement. Like…FOR SURE a better world is possible. This stupid shit we are up to now definitely isn't the best we can do. Not even close.
think I'm gonna have to contest any definition of "ready-to-eat" that permits glass shards
ISAAC CHOTINER: People imagine you happy. So, are you?
SISYPHUS: I dunno. This fucking boulder. What can I say? What is happy, anyway?
CHOTINER: Well, how did you feel when you asked the Oracle of Delphi for tips on killing your brother?
SISYPHUS: Hey, I asked for tips on getting AWAY with it.
The entire upending of creativity just so folks don’t have to admit marginalized groups make things people want as a cornerstone of culture is wild
2025 reports of Trump obliterating Iran’s nuclear weapons to be scrubbed from White House, CBS News websites.
We have some genuinely anti-war Democrats but Democratic leadership has been pro-war for as long as I can remember. It's genuinely depressing and horrifying.
It sounds like Trump plans to bomb Iran for a while, then declare peace and say "Over to you, Iranians."
Then blame the Iranians when they can't put their country back together.
If Iran had nukes we wouldn’t have touched them. We can bet every other country got the message.
Relatedly, if someone *is* invoking Libya, important to ask whether they are actually implying that the Libya stuff was legal—or are trying to obscure such questions by making some kind of point about hypocrisy.
because it would be stupid to cite an illegal thing as support for an illegal thing.
There is no coherent plan for regime change because that's not the goal. What they want is a perennial bad-guy punching bag they can go hit every few months whenever they want in perpetuity.
That's the plan, and to the extent the Trump admin even wanted to help (they don't), they illegally dismantled the mechanisms for it, like USAID.
It would've served our strategic interests greatly for millions of Iranians to see boxes and crates of vital supplies with U.S. flags on them. Oh well.

The push toward AI is an important part of this too. Do you think they are encouraging us to have AI do everything that would otherwise involve thinking because they’re trying to empower people, or
cannot stress enough how bad it is that this administration is going to keep getting rewarded for flashy short-term shows of force while refusing to take responsibility or even acknowledge the long-term consequences
sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this
at this point, I think it’s fair to say that many respectable scholars, including on the right, think OLC has gone out pretty far over its skis. The OLC memos are also purely internal to the executive; they’ve never been tested in court or stacked up against a real challenge by Congress
Paisley is one of my favorite guests we've ever had. Really loved this episode.
the US could have just started making masking more of a regular accepted thing and everyone would have fewer colds and deaths from flu and maybe we'd even have another tool against rising measles.
Literally not ONE person stopped to think that maybe the Black man wasn't lying. Good lord. This man was assaulted by this woman and by random passersby who clearly felt good about intervening because they got to yell at a Black man. Not one person seemed to try to resolve this like normal people.
one of the basic problems of prediction markets that our brilliant economists clearly have not thought through is that the insider trading poisons basically everything in public life. everything is potentially untrustworthy, a set-up. the fix is always in.
commitments include "walking the dog", "grocery shopping" and "taking a nap"
It goes without saying but this woman needs to be added to the Omnibus Impeachment Act of 2028
