LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

we are returning to the state in which the framers intended for the legislature, in which the lower chamber and the upper chamber absolutely despise one another
The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

This is on me. I should have read the law better. But in calculating my preliminary 2025 tax return, I hadn’t realized the no tax on overtime is only for the extra over the normal hourly rate. I thought anything over 40 hours wasn’t taxed.
If I got confused, I expect there’ll be many others as well

But the Runoff is January 31? I know Texas has a biennial legislature, but isn’t that still unusually late after the general?
Okay…I think the vibes have shifted. Final result was nearly 48%. It’ll be a runoff, but that’s 9% more than 2022, 3% more than the 2018 wave in a district that was made MORE Republican in redirecting. But more than that twice as many registered voters came out as normal for a special election.

As @effinvicta.bsky.social notes here, genius philosopher Rod Dreher is lamenting the cost of living in America, as shown by expensive markers.
But he posted a photo of an 8-pack of markers under the price of a 16-pack.
The 8-pack is on the wrong hook.

I think simple rules have utility and most of the time, edge cases are best handled with a “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” approach. “Don’t say the n word” is a perfectly fine rule.

I think suicide is in fact an excellent case study in why certain simplistic theories of normative ethics can't be right (I tend to a weird sort of virtue ethics cum social contract). It's a terrible example of how the world is just far too messy for 'rule -> action" approaches.

I mean that is true, but this is the second time someone who’s close to Rod Dreher has been allegedly attacked by demons, and I’m now starting to think Rod Dreher is the problem.

The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal.
