A LOT of white people (especially men) have had personal failures smoothed over by people assuring them it's only because some undeserving Black person, woman or queer person helped them meet a quota.

The real credit for getting those laws over the line belongs to Tim Fischer, who was the ONLY reason/person that managed to get the NATS onboard. Without it, Howard would not have passed anything.

But of course, Howard (and friends) wants us to forget that detail.

I love that everyone immediately assumed she got me livestock, but no. She got me a steamdeck and left it for me to unwrap while she's away and I can lie in bed getting pressure sores playing video games

Yet one more reason we cannot allow LLMs to serve as epistemic grounding is that we cannot triangulate among them the way you can among reasonable independent sources. They bullshit in the same way and end up agreeing with one other about things that are completely false.

No one person needs to be twirling their evil little mustache and going "ah ha, we can identify who grew up poor!" but I'm betting you're seeing some very nice teeth in your short form videos.
