It made some sense when the VP was the runner up, but they should've lowered the threshold when they passed the 12th Amendment.

I’m honestly shocked how few people I talked to this week have seen Wargames.
It’s literally about an AI nearly destroying the world when it plays a game of Global Thermonuclear War.

What would Stephen Falken think about the Anthropic / DOD fight?

seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?

Here’s a great idea - let’s get the most amoral celebrity racist douchebag from the 80s, make him president, and then be blindly obedient to him while normalizing fascist shit that hurts large numbers of people.

Because we’re so Christian.

My next script is about a guy in LA who, after a freak gamma ray accident, has the power to drive a car in the rain.

I'm here at the Nazi bar fighting the good fight. Buying drinks for Nazis and trying to convince them they shouldn't be Nazis also sometimes agreeing with them unlike you Puritans over at the Pub where no one goes.

Famous people or public figures who interject themselves into sports championships are such weak losers. Cheer in the stands if you are a fan. Stay the fuck out of the locker room and away from the trophy that real athletes won.

I am getting the distinct impression that there are now _two_ failure modes in hiring developers:

1) devs that reject AI as useful and refuse to touch it

2) devs that have zero caution, refinement, or introspection in how they use it and are dying to charge your org 10k a day to build Gastown 2.

If we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.

The main reason Bondi (and everyone else in this administration) was appointed is that she is extremely stupid. She can't serve her function unless she is too stupid to have any self-preservation instinct.

β€œStops murdering” feels like a pretty low bar.

How about β€œstops assaulting, harassing, gassing , detaining, intimidating…”

I could go on.

BTW, if Senate Dems want technical reforms, here's one: amend 8 USC 1357 so DHS agents do not have power to arrest without a judicial warrant unless they are GS-1811, grade of GS-13 or higher.

Real criminal investigations would be unaffected, but CBP & ICE goon squads would be severely limited.

It’s still astonishing to me that the Right got away with this. That in itself should have been a sign that our society was failed.

Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables

I'm just going to keep saying this until I die:

In a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve the white supremacist patriarchy.

Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't.

Rinse, repeat.

Claiming to follow Jesus who was unjustly accused, arrested, and executed by the state, all with religious justification, and then passionately supporting the state without question as it aggressively goes after people has to be one of the most blatant contradictions in history.
