rawls never accounted for the fact that most americans are not very reasonable
according to the letter of the law, it's actually illegal to try and launch a coup in both Brazil and the US, formally speaking (shocking!). yet the formal levers of power operated very differently in response to a coup attempt there than here. food for thought

I can never order pizza at my place because the pizza place is far enough that I don't want to walk and close enough that they would judge me if I got it delivery, and so I will live this year without pizza

adobe just told me a 12 page paper was long and that I should read a summary. in a world full of reasonable, viable targets for hatred, it's important to remember to give AI its due share of bile and invective

"the guy I like is actually a basically pleasant bureaucrat" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12239 pages of heated debate
I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.

i don't understand, how could the data indicate that crime is down when people have one-off anecdotes of observing crimes and the subjective sense that crime is 'high'?

I don't understand how the Times can never determine whether Trump is lying but can say with certainty when he is joking.
President Trump on Tuesday joked to reporters that he would like to be the next Pope. He took it a step further on Saturday, sharing what appeared to be an A.I.-generated photo of himself wearing the traditional vestments of the pontiff.
Trump Posts an Image of Himself as Pope
The president has joked about being the next pontiff, but the image, which appeared to be A.I.-generated, took things a step further and drew some pushback.
