Should the economy be regulated by a democratic society to ensure that it creates opportunity and benefit for everyone? Or should it be a plaything for approximately a dozen of the world's most odious assholes? Who knows

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

There are two perpetual delusions, here.
One, obvs, is: millionaires aren't going to leave, they were never going to leave.
But the other is this particularly American dipshittery, where we think the ultra-rich are somehow indispensable to society, when in fact they're very harmful parasites.

I’ve never understood why his nickname from the early 2000’s, “the Doughy Pantload,” didn’t stick.
It's important that everyone understand that Ross Douthat has never done anything *except* write slimy op-eds trying to smuggle far-right ideas into the mainstream. From college on. He's never had a real job. He has no skills, no expertise, nothing that would justify his position at the NYT.

If you find yourself losing patience with someone, remember that they are an ape adrift in an alien world, born into a struggle they did not choose, taunted by impulses they cannot control, searching for answers they will not find, and condemned to a fate they do not deserve.

Yup. The thing here is that conservatism *is* bigotry. The core proposition, to paraphrase Wilhoit, is that the law must protect but not bind the in-group, and must bind but not protect out-groups. There is no more to it. That’s conservatism: the legal codification of bigotry.

One of the most-challenging lessons to learn is that human beings really are semi-autonomous meat robots. Not *other* people. Not the people you think are dumb. Everyone. You. Me. The smartest person who ever lived. Apes whose brains got too big, so we constantly hallucinate.
A lot of people can’t read, and even more read like a LLM; they see a few cues and then respond to what they guess is being said.
For a long time I was wondering why there were so many trolls that would deliberately misinterpret things while replying, it was so lazy, then one day it struck me, at least some of those guys are probably just illiterate.

As a local reporter, one of my favorite things is for a town government official to say something wildly inappropriate and then remember I’m in the room, look at me, briefly panic, wave a dismissive hand while saying “of course that’s off the record,” and I get to say, “that’s not how it works.”

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
![As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ugcmot4f3ool6cottht63wx4/bafkreierpoqvjgg5hqx3zhtlfmvrfq3vaakb3h5wppcdzrvs5jh3zr7ce4@jpeg)
