Earlier this year Republicans passed a bill that stripped health care from millions of Americans.
That was a monstrous bill; today they are trying to pass a cowardly bill.
I spoke against their flimsy "health care" bill that fails to prevent skyrocketing health costs.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

It's really time to hold Murdoch accountable for this. Not that any of the Murdochs are squeamish about this. But they like being accepted in polite company and this stench should stick on them.

If any "centrist" or "moderate Democrat" says Trump isn't a racist or simply appeals to "economic anxiety," I think we can safely ignore them forever and tell them to move aside as the rest of us move forward.

The proper response to this is NOT to think that this means MAGA is crumbling and at war with itself. These right wingers will all join forces when necessary. These fights are about building an audience/constituency for fascism…just as WWF beefs were building an audience for the WWF.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:
Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.
They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.
Small world.

There’s a type of LLM advert which essentially depicts
1) a person using an LLM for a task it absolutely can perform
2) but a person who is qualified to double check its working wouldn’t need to.
Feels like this is the type of “AI misalignment” we should really worry about!
