You watch guys like Elon Musk and Donald Trump and you're 100% certain these guys could not get a job. They are too stupid and lazy for any task. The only thing they can do in our system is...be in charge of it. And then you go hmm

Democrats need to stop thinking like an electoral opposition party and start thinking like insurgents trying to engineer the overthrow of a dictator. But elected Dems seem temperamentally unable to do this.

that new democrat strategy document cites sarah mcbride's transphobia as justification for everybody else's transphobia in the introduction :)

Yup, pretty much sums it up

It will never make sense to me that transit vehicles are heated beyond the point of comfort for passengers who are almost invariably dressed to be outside

im legit cracking up at the “we gave functional criminal immunity to the part of the US government that basically ensures the legislature will never function again under a blue government while simultaneously giving free range to the fascist right wing party” revelation of the vichy dem cave bill

thread. interesting research

but also, they named their french LLM Baguettotron

i hope it sticks. i hope Baguettotron is the best LLM out there and everyone has to say its name
Breaking: we release a fully synthetic generalist dataset for pretraining, SYNTH and two new SOTA reasoning models exclusively trained on it. Despite having seen only 200 billion tokens, Baguettotron is currently best-in-class in its size range. pleias.fr/blog/blogsyn...

does anyone else remember the way inception was sold as this super confusing movie? and that newspapers were printing visual guides on what the plot was? and then you saw the movie and it was actually really straight forward?

what was that about

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.
I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

We cannot rely (and never could rely) on a magical return to normalcy in 2026 or 2028 on the part of the Americans, even with a strong Dem showing. Climbdowns like this raise serious questions about how far the Dems will go to ensure this administration never happens again should they take power.

It’s very funny to me that the Left is accusing the Liberals of going over to the Right and meanwhile the latter have just fully devolved into AI-slop brained maniacs.

People are doing Stancil Discourse on The Economy again and I'm just asking people to think through the implications of "the Economy doesn't feel good to me" for this whole socialism thing.

DOGE cut a bunch of stuff that is incredibly cheap in terms of government budget but wildly effective in terms of saving lives. it is literally the least sympathetic possible program to make this argument in defense of
I dunno. I do like our government spending less money anywhere they can. I like even more if my taxes go down as a result. Since when is our job to be the world’s mom and dad? Did other countries step up to fill that gap?

It’s kind of hard to talk about the pretty brazenly racist and chauvinist treatment Singh received because he was, separate to that, a complete disaster of a leader by almost every available metric

one of the greatest struggles for any left-wing political movement in the modern west (and increasingly beyond) is how much of the sheer abject deprivation, fear, and often fatal dangers that were inextricable to the lives of any but the wealth just...barely exist anymore
It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

My favourite hotel on earth (at least in Montreal). It is really a brutalist low rise motor hotel high a top of a concrete plinth. It remains gorgeous & perfect 60 years later. Heaven.
