this is fundamentally accurate but it is actually kind of easy to meet this bar
Also, anytime you are thinking about calling the cops, ask yourself, "will this situation be improved by (more) guns?" If the answer is no, don't call them.

one of the major uses of LLMs is as an unlicensed, cheap therapist. the people who sell them largely don't think about this fact at all.

Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership?
SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

you actually have to end the American republic to end the senate. it is literally the only institution which is explicitly impossible to reform even by amendment
you can however create as many states as you like

Part of me thinks “yeah, primary every last one of these fuckers!!!”
And the other part of me thinks “eh, fuck it. We’re gonna need wholesale constitutional reform anyway. Just abolish the damn Senate.”

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

speaking of sinema, you might notice that zero republican senators have basically swapped parties because they're just in it for the clout.

Everyone compares Fetterman to Manchin. The better comparison is Sinema. Manchin, as much as he annoyed Democrats, focused entirely on West Virginia-related issues.
john fetterman campaigned on not being the next joe manchin, duping a lot of people in the process, when the reality is and always has been that joe manchin was always a reliable healthcare vote in the senate
