Various group-philosophical pessimisms will have you believing that universalism is impossible, not worth striving for. That if you don't oppress, you will inevitably be a victim. I refuse. We are best protected by democracy, by the rule of law, by human and civil rights.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

Was actually just thinking about this yesterday, how periodically people bring up the procession of stars as if it’s a “gotcha” to people who enjoy astrology. Jokes on them, we’re ultra nerdy and know exactly when and why the zodiacs diverged.
would love if anyone at the New York Times would talk to one (1) astrologer who could explain the difference between the tropical & sidereal zodiac so we wouldn't have to have this stupid conversation every year www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Your Zodiac Sign Is 2,000 Years Out of Date
Over millennia, our view of the stars has shifted, because of Earth’s wobble. It may be time to rethink your sign.

When I see people online, even in jest, suggest that people living in Republican-controlled states should be abandoned because of their politicians, I feel a deep heartache. New York CREATED Donald Trump and none of y’all are ever talk about it the way you disparage Alabama or Mississippi.

Happened to have to wake up way earlier than my usual but the bright side (pun intended) is that I got to catch these two beauties in the sky, Jupiter on the left and Venus on the right. Their exact conjunction is tomorrow.

We are going to see a lot of ppl claiming, understandably, that the BBB has now provided Trump w a massive ICE army.
That is incorrect.
It has provided him with the funds to TRY.
A 2017 DHS-OIG report said ICE would need to interview 500,000 ppl to get 10,000 new hires.
Not easy!

The overarching point to this thread and the threads of mine nested in it (sorry abt that) is this:
This is a poorly-designed proposal made by ppl w no interest in even cosplaying as serious policy makers.
Fascism on the cheap by the indifferent.
That does NOT mean be complacent!

The point is:
This seems important:
At a time when even the Feds struggle to fill their slots, even w better terms than the local police (who can’t fill their slots), the OBBB plan offers … the same terms as before.
The terms that have resulted in on-going staffing challenges.
