It's Trans Day of Remembrance, lab rats.
I wish society did more to celebrate us while we were alive, instead of just remembering our deaths.

What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

No, trans people will not vote for an avowed transphobe, because what's "the Trans Issue" to you is our very rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
If he ends up being the Democrat on the presidential ticket in 2028, you would rather vote republican or not vote at all because of this issue?? That’s the million dollar question. Not the hill I would die on and def not worth losing an election over!

Actually the question that occurs to me is "will you nominate him anyway even after years of people telling you they won't vote for him if you do, and then when you lose as you were warned you would, will you blame not yourselves but the people who warned you."

He’s compelling to some people because he notices genuine failures. But in my framework these failures come from the collapse of the verification–deliberation–accountability cycle. Fix that and the system can work, ignore it and nothing will.

Turns out Trump wanted more than just the Sudetenland. Who knew!
Turns out that the $16MM payoff ABC made to Trump bought them only a few months' reprieve. Weird how that happens.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

It's like Barr tanking the mueller report 2.0. Deliberately release some crumbs that don't incriminate him. Eventually when the whole thing gets out, the media will have already told everyone the president is innocent, and will allow him to spin it as a witch hunt

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

to be clear, i also do not think it is necessarily true that adopting a laundry list of progressive positions is an instant win either. i think you have to do the work of discovering what it is that voters want in a direct and engaged way. and i think that voters want moral leadership.
it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
