He refers to his own marriage in that post as an example of "two Christians from different ethnic backgrounds", so whatever else is going on in this guy's head with 'ethnos' and 'interracial', it's pretty clear he considers her a Christian.

Even worse, an *AI summary* of reader comments is more coherently argued than the professionally written content.

Serious Q, IANAL, but in the analagous "human therapist" scenario would client saying "I'm only asking for a story" eliminate malpractice liability?

More generally, isn't there liability for misuse the company could have foreseen, like why they make speed governors on cars nontrivial to disable?

Following and Mutuals. I'm a low-follower account so the latter is something where I can go through a day's worth of posts in a few minutes.

Someone ITT mentioned "Quiet Posters" and that sounds worthwhile, might try that one.

Na'vi are usually barefoot too, and it might be worth trading six-legged sabertooths for Nazgûl. Can't do anything about the short part, but consider how fabulous some of us look in blue.

It's interesting how this became the received wisdom on the Avatar movies, because shortly after the first one came out the content mills were desperately trying to make the case that it was somehow *uniquely* influential (remember the manufactured "Avatar depression causing suicides" narrative?).

Even @nytpitchbot.bsky.social doesn't bother with "Billionaires warn they'll leave Examplesylvania if [political thing they don't like] happens" headlines because it's a too on-the-nose parody of this kind of NYT Mad Libs. Maybe they'll go wherever rich NYers mad about Mamdani pretend they're going?

*Especially* to us, really.

If AI was so good, all the salespeople trying to convince my CEO to replace my coworkers with "agentic platforms" would be AIs but nope, they're just your basic meat-based marketing and sales drones.

All-Clad does frequent sales of "factory seconds", items w/ minor blems or no packaging a couple times a year. Only vendor email list I haven't unsubscribed from. Nice to save when buying for yrself, and when buying for another use the savings to get them another pan.

Can't speak to his thought process, but I think the political priority should be focusing on getting more clean energy infra built (good jobs!) than simply telling people "yr livelihood is bad". As more people get employed by green energy, economic blockers to reducing fossil use (slowly) go away.

Suffragettes (and the Temperence movement), who won through the proverbial "art of the possible", are actually much stronger examples for Casten's point than abolitionists.

Maybe he thinks those abolitionists made meaningful but incremental progress pretty much entirely in places where abolitionists could actually win (you "seem to implicitly argue" such incrementalism is bad!), and that their ultimate goal was finally achieved via a civil war, not legislation.

It's called the Doinking-Cranium effect.
