The whole administration definitely comes off like a narcissistic/alcoholic (well, Wiles named it and Trump agreed!) family system. incredibly dysfunctional. And then, we're all stuck in its extended branches. The ambient abuse alone is toxic as hell.

It’s one thing to believe in the abstract that authoritarian, fascist, or personalist regimes displace expertise for loyalty, it’s entirely a different thing to watch it happen all over the place in your country.
love how being 'Stephen Miller's wife' is like, a position of influence worthy of a TV spot

I think it's pretty clear by now that Pope Leo would not have called the 2024 election a choice between two evils as Pope Francis disgustingly did. In fact, I think Pope Leo voted for Kamala Harris based on what we can tell from his voting history. We're in good hands in the Catholic Church.

They think writers can be replaced because they don't understand what writing is effective, yes, but don't discount the desire to cut human labor out of the process entirely, not just for "cost savings" but because the management class and especially the investor class just fucking hate humans.
Is that why people think that ChatGPT and other AI(?) could replace authors - the people in management can't recognize good writing and so assume that no one else can, either? It seems like that would quickly be dismissed witjh any sort of beta readership, but.

I can't think of a single restaurant I miss more than the classic Pizza Hut situation from when I was a kid. You got your own little pizza. You didn't have to pay for it because you read books, which seemed magical to me because I read everything anyway. They had video games. It looked fancy.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
