If the Democrats had a hair on their ass they would start a nationwide campaign where they had commercials showing all the Republicans convicted of sex scandals plus the emails with they’re not like us playing in the background.

How fucking stupid does he think we are?
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

Recently met someone who was very surprised to hear I didn’t use ChatGPT or any LLM.
I said my job depended on doing distinctive work. That was my selling point. If I started to sound like ChatGPT and turn out what it did, then how on earth could I justify doing it? What would that make me?

For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Mamdani’s victory is a rebuke to the failed strategies of the Democratic party | Moira Donegan
The Democratic party appears listless and unprincipled, unwilling to fight because they do not believe in anything. Zohran Mamdani is the opposite of this

Look at this fucking shit. In Chicago the "elite" CT unit of the USBP detained (a violent assault resulting in 6 broken ribs) a 67yo US citizen driving home from his morning run, then tear gassed a Halloween party with kids in attendance. There's no reforming this. It's unamerican and unacceptable

I'm just one person, and my dietary needs are somewhat unusual (hot wings, cabbage, and warm Schlitz). But I'm just not seeing the productivity gains from sniffing my own farts that I would have expected if you'd asked me 6 months ago.

Can AI and robotics help us in many ways? I am not a Luddite — I believe they can.
But we must make sure these new technologies benefit all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.
I hope you'll take a few minutes to read my op-ed in Fox News. Let’s start the debate.

That whole “saying untrue things to make themselves feel better, then responding to empirical critique as if it were a personal attack” thing…
Today's article is about a form of bad-faith speech somewhat akin to bullshit, which I'm calling (because why not) wank. I don't quite think I've focused the ideas down as much as I can, but I think it says some interesting things regardless:
An essay on wank | deadSimpleTech
This captures well the uncomfortable, slightly disorienting feeling that wank creates when you're subjected to it, wherein you're expected to speak about and think about the statement as though it say...
