Seriously - if any of your social media companies informs you that stuff from your accounts has been turned over in compliance with a federal grand jury subpoena, SHUT THE FUCK UP IMMEDIATELY and stay shut up until you consult an attorney. Who will also tell you to stfu, but professionally.

So, here's the problem I have with all this outrage over Trump's comments about Khashoggi: it feels performative. Liberals who are mad at Trump over his comments spent a lot of time justifying Biden's meeting with the same murderer making realpolitik excuses that were identical to "things happen."

this is a recurring theme I've seen. people think LLMs reduce the need for understanding of things and act like it. but every successful use I've seen has as a prerequisite a demonstrable and generally deeper understanding of the topic and objective

or, if you don't, you hit the wall at speed

And then they've wound up here anyway! Trying to actually govern, do things that might be unpopular now but have good consequences and so rebound to your favour in the long run, surely worth a shot. Yet they seem instinctually unable to do this, except where it involves bashing migrants or the left.

I was reading this apple-based TTRPG and found it pretty indigestible, but then I realised it was the core set.

Sorry I am still thinking about how the “Caesars” in Caesars Palace is meant to be plural and not just a sign typo they refused to correct.
I am going to Las Vegas next week and this tidbit about Caesars Palace is making me lose my mind! “It makes you feel like a Caesar!” “Julius Caesar?” “No not that one. Any ol’ Caesar!”

You don't actually control whether you win or lose. Which isn't to say you shouldn't *try* to win

But, a thing you *do* control is "will it be good for the world if I win?"

lmao. reading the opinion on the Texas gerrymander, the court, reasonably, ruled that (a) the Trump admin had sent Texas a letter demanding that it dismantle districts based entirely on their racial makeup; (b) that Texas acknowledged this as their motivation when they did this; (c) this is racist.

The entire developed world is converging on anti-immigrant policies at a time when the entire developed world has implosion-worthy birthrates. You do not want to see what happens to a nation when its population halves every ~65 years.
here's a thought: why doesn't society raise tax on Rupert Lowe instead

I think we lost some work because authors were afraid to show their weirdnesses, rough edges, to ask uncomfortable questions.
We can debate all day about who got cancelled and whether or not they deserved it, but one thing I have noticed is that a lot of queer YA written from ~2019-2022 has a kind of sterile after-school-special vibe where you can just tell they sanitized the fuck out of it to appease the Twitter hivemind

THAT'S RIGHT -- now that I know you've redeemed your strawman, it's obvious:

* You're a "free man on the road," and don't NEED to register your car.

* The government IS improperly charging so-called "income taxes" under admirality law.

* ... and you don't have to pay child support, either!
i do not think it is a good idea to use chatbots which are trained to be sycophantic to give tax advice to non-expert consumers
