Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

incidentally, this particular style is sometimes called a ‘correspondent shoe,’ which is wrong - it’s a ‘co-respondent shoe,’ as in ‘the other person you name besides your wife in a divorce suit on the grounds of adultery’

There are many social, economical, political, ethical, and environmental problems with GenAI.
Having said that, as a software professional, Claude blows me away. It turns me into the product manager I hoped product managers could one day be in 2009.

It's been said before, but ICE is equivalent to the SA (Sturmabteilung), not the Gestapo. SA were paramilitaries, Gestapo would be really sadistic and corrupt FBI agents coming to your house in plain clothes to pick you up.

I am Dutch Canadian. I was born in Europe, and moved to Canada later in life. I'm intimately familiar with the history of 1930s Germany. And I often wondered how my grandparents' generation experienced that- living next door to evil.
Now I get to experience it by myself and it's horrifying.

Paranoid but it's shoegaze (or something).
It took me a while to realize this was Black Sabbath's Paranoid and not a new song of their own....

If they deploy their arctic trained troops to Minnesota they’re at least not going to Greenland. Small mercies
About 1,500 soldiers w/ 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed on prepare-to-deploy orders with a mission in Minnesota in mind, defense officials tell me tonight. Unclear if some or all of them ultimately will go.
News reported tonight by ABC News, too.

I'm glad I live in a place where the big drama is on the scale of stuff like "I'm furious the snow plowers leave a bank of snow by the sidewalk that we have to get over. also they were late today" rather than, yknow, having to figure out how to defend yourself against the state

I already wrote my MP.
Honestly, if I were a Canadian lawmaker, I'd be demanding a huge military build up on the southern border. If Trump can snatch Maduro, then say the US is gonna "run" his country, he can do that for any leader of any country. He's ALREADY making the same noise about Mexico. Why not Canada, too?

It's like when back in the day they would have said "no we don't have budget for real whiteout, just use scotch tape"
This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.
