Snail walks(?) into a dealership and says, “I want a 240Z, but could you replace the Z with an S?” “Uh, sure,” says the dealer. As the snail speeds away in his new ride, the dealer shakes his head and says, “Look at that S car go…”

Wikipedia lists an early acid test in Portland, OR on Jan. 15, 1966. Anybody know more about this event? Can you point to any write-ups?

This perfectly articulates a fear that’s been welling up inside me for a long time now.
My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

A Haitian immigrant is still more than 10x more likely to be killed by a cop than killed by ICE.
And yet we're fumbling over our words and playing silly vocab games.
We can't speak with clarity about the need to end ICE fascism, because we're trying to thread the needle and keep police fascism.🤡

Episode 37 is less drunken and sweary than a lot of our back catalog, probably because we recorded it at 8 in the morning. 😂

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

And Mike Johnson knows this. And he’s 100% willing to lie through his teeth to protect…Trvmp? His own position of power? His powerful friends? It’s so hard for me to understand how a person can compromise themselves so completely.
WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

three years ago all the radical centrists got convinced via group chats that if we simply threw trans people under the bus, the fascists would let us win everything else.
instead we lost everything, and also trans people got thrown under the bus

where are people getting the idea that its either "supporting trans rights" or "continuing democracy". what kind of democracy do they want to live in. where "politically inconvenient" groups get thrown to the wolves every two to four years? doesnt sound good to me. why would you want that
