As the High Pope of the Church of Discordia, I'm here to tell you that All Statements Are True.
The thing about truth is that it’s immutable. Trying to dissolve it is like trying to drain the ocean. Sure you can nibble around the edges but eventually some combination of politics (best case), economics (bad case), or physics (worst case) returns everyone to reality.
This is maybe the one area of my life where I am a genuine pessimist. I think the dissolution of truth is inevitable in a world where almost all information flows through the internet, but even so I am dismayed that conservatives are right now trying like hell to own and hasten that process.

How about we go back to Reagan era income tax levels and build some fucking public transit?
how about we make rich people pay taxes and use the proceeds to nationalize the healthcare system
“There’s a public health imperative to quickly expand the adoption of autonomous vehicles.”
Would the author say the same about building bike lanes? Installing automatic traffic cameras? Requiring Intelligent Speed Assist?
All of those are proven to save lives — and at a fraction of AVs' cost.

Anyone else experiencing a wave of bot followers over the last week or so? I've had like a dozen [generic-female-name]-[\d4] accounts follow me, surprisingly they all seem to have hundreds of legitimate followers themselves but are obvious bots.

Any #longsword or #hema practitioners out there that use Thokk gloves? My club has banned them for longsword use and I'm curious if anyone out there uses them/loves them/hates them. I quite like the added dexterity but apparently there was a safety incident that got them banned.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

His cultists will believe a lot of his lies, but this isn't one of them. I have a small glimmer of hope thatbthey will see this obvious lie conflict with their lived experience and begin to think, what else has he been lying about? Will this actually happen? Probably not but it's a nice fantasy.
Trump: "If you look at affordability, which they campaigned on, they lied. Because they talked about 'Oh, prices are up' -- no, prices are down under the Trump administration and they're down substantially."

Ay this point the open models are good enough that OpenAI just exists to train new ones. If (when) they crash there's zero reason the fed should step in.
