I've never seen it stated so plainly: Joyce can imagine herself as an author whose book event is disrupted by protestors so she opposes the protest.

Can you imagine yourself as a fired federal worker or deported immigrant? Wouldn't you want people to take drastic measures on your behalf?
it's true that I tend to support bookstores & book people. I know what it's like to plan for a book evening, arrange chairs, hope for a good turnout. how dismaying it must have been for many when, outside the store, protesters caused a commotion as the event began.

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.
Wokeness Is Not to Blame for Trump
How a misdiagnosis of the 2024 election has calcified into self-defeating conventional wisdom.

The thing to remember is that no matter what they do, and no matter how hard they try, trans people will always be around to spit on the sad, lonely graves of these repulsive freaks.
UPDATE: The National Park Service have now removed “queer” and the “Q+” from the web page for stonewall, along with any mentions of transgender people.

This team was Howie Roseman's masterpiece. The most loaded Eagles team of my lifetime in terms of pure talent.

Roseman has now built two championship teams with two different quarterbacks and two different head coaches.

Looking like a HOF resume.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

This constantly gets brought up in response to AI criticism. No one objects to these applications. They object to the consumer facing dreck that's being marketed to us as groundbreaking and forced onto our devices.
In Phase I medicine trials, AI-discovered molecules are more successful than historic industry averages. In software it can be very useful writing functions, creating unit tests and in general freeing up coders to focus on the more interesting work. There is a baby in that bath water.

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.
