So this is sort of fascinating because on the one hand obviously the Roman imperial senate was a shadow of what, say, the Senate of the third and second centuries BC had been, but at the same time it was a pretty crucial component of imperial governance into the third century.
You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

Like I said earlier today, I believe that Trump believes in this plan. That doesnt mean much of anyone else does
30% of my feed is equally split between “he did it to steal the oil” & “oil companies want no part of completely rebuilding the dilapidated infrastructure in a country in which they don’t know who will be in charge for low quality oil for a market where prices are already low.”
Probably both right

For nonlawyers, it’s worth noting that statements like this have—as a formal matter—important legal effects as a matter of international law. If such statements are *not* made, and in volume, future arguments that Trump’s invasion sets a legal precedent will stand on much firmer legal ground.

Also, I know that this site sucks at reading comprehension, but I’m pretty sure it’s obvious my argument here is that Venezuelan oil is not economical to process, but many people in the replies/quotes are telling me to go unalive myself because I think that we should be stealing Venezuela oil(???)
OK, crash course in oil. Oil has two main gradings, viscosity (light or heavy) and sulfur (sweet or sour). A light (low viscosity) and sweet (low sulfur) oil is easier to process into gasoline and other products than a heavy and sour one, so the light & sweet oil commands a premium price.
I know several oil barons, I’ve had the oil and gas industry as clients in a past life: none of them want the Venezuelan oil, it’s dog shit quality and getting the PDVSA fields up to modern standards would take 20 years! It’s just trump being stuck in 1987

I have a much more optimistic take right now: tech has massive massive cultural problems but it did before AI. An explosion of *active learning* is potentially a really positive thing
We’re creating more code than we can maintain or understand. With an explosion of new code we’ll see a lot of the code go extinct
Even current projects that seemed well supported with company backing are dying without dedicated resources to maintain it
