There was a period in the early oughts when I lived on the south shore of Massachusetts and I swear I saw Flogging Molly five times in like two years because they were always playing cheap shows in either Providence or Boston.

I'd even wonder if the percentage among Republicans has dropped. It seems like right wing conspiracies have proliferated in the past fifteen years or so, and maybe that supplants some of the interest in aliens?

I'd even bet it's more like 99, and probably a decent number of decimals after that.

No one cares about your feelings. If your plans for action don't involve removing Schumer and Durbin from leadership and ensuring that no one who voted yes will ever have a role in the party again, then you should resign.

Yeah, but the good news is there’s only one loser in this game and he’s dead. Everyone who plays is a winner.

I'm not much of a fan of electoral solutions, but I do have a suspicion that a constitutional amendment fixing the salary and max wealth of gov employees in all branches to a multiple of the minimum wage (say, 10x for for salary and 1Mx for wealth) would solve a lot of problems.

Freedom of movement is a right. Not a legal one, which is one bit of proof that legality and morality are orthogonal at best. If you don’t want borders, don’t support border enforcement.

Well, there’s where we disagree. I don’t believe borders have ever been useful except to those who want to control others. People with convictions still get to decide where they live, and anyone who wants armed men to stop them is doing evil. If a border can keep them out it can keep you in.

Counterpoint: yes it is. Doing bad things with a process is not substantially better than doing bad things without one.

That seems unnecessarily cruel the denizens of the forest. Maybe they could go live in an Ohio diner? A farm upstate?

There is no such thing as an "AGI-level model." They might as well be granting access to unicorn horns and dragon teeth.

Yes, but that nav system unavoidably involves, for example, certain types of quantification, ways of seeing the landscape, which have political and ethical weight. It can be used for good or ill, but the system itself also has a political orientation at least partially independent of its use.

I'm neither a cynic nor an Establishment Democrat, and I absolutely think that guy needs to fuck off. Not because he's a left populist, but because he has a nazi tattoo. And even if it was somehow an accident and he only just found out, having one at all is disqualifying for someone seeking power.
