Has the @yachtrockpodcast.bsky.social done Lawrence's "Guy I Used To Be" yet to see if it's #yachtornyacht? I feel like it's either on the boat or, if not, close enough to throw a life preserver to.

I've got two bachelors' degrees and a J.D. I got them in 1999 (less than a year before the dotcom bust), 2008 (when the mortgage bubble burst) and December 2019 (right before the pandemic).
Considering a GFM to go back to school again. Maybe this time I can kill capitalism for good.

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.
The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.
Heightened Scrutiny, a very good doc about the Supreme Court case that was just ruled on, does an impeccable and infuriating job laying out just how culpable the NYT and Atlantic are for the nation’s transphobia www.avclub.com/sundance-202...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

In a crisis, look for the helpers. By which I mean, look for the hurters, and then look for the people willing to hit the hurters in the face with a shovel.

"The French justice system chose courage over surrender. The law was clear, and so was the court in its sentencing: no special treatment for Marine Le Pen, no deference to the powerful, no using a candidacy for office as an excuse to break the law with impunity." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
With this damning of Le Pen, France can be the ‘anti-Trump’. It’s a bold path others should follow| Alexander Hurst
The far right leader is banned and disgraced. European leaders can seize this moment to show voters they will fight for them, says Guardian Europe columnist Alexander Hurst

Last night I dreamed that I'd hacked together the Leverage RPG from Margaret Weis Productions and the Angel RPG from Eden Studios to make a game about supernatural thieves who bring down bad guys with the power of heists and vampirism and whatnot. Not the worst idea I've ever gotten from a dream.

Everyone’s like “this can’t be fascism it’s too dumb” but they don’t understand that fascism is in fact almost always very dumb! Fascist dictators are cruel and stupid men. And it’s popular because many people are cruel and stupid!

Both Musk and Trump have degrees from the Wharton School. This doesn't prove they know anything about business or economics; they clearly don't. It *is* evidence that the Wharton School is a diploma mill for rich morons who want to pretend being born wealthy was the result of hard work and skill.

This year, a bunch of works from 1929 entered the public domain in the US, including more Mickey Mouse cartoons and the original version of Popeye, and you know what that means:
I only have 48 years to finish the screenplay for my unlicensed Star Wars reboot where Han Solo and Greedo do it.
