Sure. Sounds legit.

Except all the King fans ever talk about is It, It, It, It.

Call me crazy. My reaction to The Stand was to never crack open another Stephen King book again (stupid ending. I'm still mad). What do I know?

But look around. It is the one they love.

Two legs a gimmick? Really?

OK genius you tell me how else are we supposed to know where to fuck it?

Checkmate, libs

Nobody I served with ever wanted to be treated as special. They served for college money, or they wanted to get out of their dying town.

Or patriotism. But that means everyone's rights matter. Everyone deserves a future.

No, veterans shouldn't be homeless. But they served because nobody should be.

Zero adaptations film the biggest scene in the story. Hollywood, am I right?

But It is like the most beloved Stephen King of all, isn't it?

Maybe we should be asking what is the deal with Stephen King fans?

I don't want to know, probably. The fact that he was still using is helpful to know though. Thanks

The Mainer 11 year olds (heroically? To save the day!) having a gangbang in It kind of underscores the question. Pro-Maine? Anti-Maine?

I've read a few of his books and I don't deny he's good at what he does, but I really don't get what King's deal is.

What is his deal? For real

She could have meant when she goes to jail? Her doctor told her he was pressing charges for kiting checks to pay for medical care she can't afford because of medicare cuts. She's just mentioning to the doctor that she hopes it's a jail with a tv. She's had to pawn hers because, well you get the idea

Republicans alone? No, 8 Democratic Senators helped

Nothing feels more entrepreneurial than bankruptcy

Musk just got caught out by Rogan of all people for exactly the same thing: trying to call Mamdani a serial liar. Without thinking to prepare a single example of what he was lying about

If starving people riot, Trump can declare martial law, send in the army, suspend the constitution. Trump has every reason to want people to starve.

The question is whether Republicans in Congress serve Trump or their constituents.

Elon: But you said you'd love me forever!

No doubt most educators realize LLM slop is bad.

But they lack the financial independence and autonomy to say no. The decision is made by billionaires and their sycophants who are the ones who really decide how education is done.

Public schools across country embraced MS Office tools and web portal class materials in place of notebooks and textbooks. Their endemic financial crisis meant they couldn't say no to these tech companies' deals.

Schools knew multimodal -- lecture, note taking, recitation -- is best. But no choice

A corporation is an artificial person that does crime on behalf of a rich man. A think tank is an artificial academic institution that does propaganda on behalf of a rich man. An LLM is an artificial person that does fake learned punditry on behalf of a rich man.

Now the same propaganda can be put in the mouth of a fake institution of academia rigor. Wikipedia lets you cite press releases from a think tank that pretend to be real peer reviewed research.

But it's laborious for paid shills to write fake research

Hence, invent a machine that does it instantly

When individuals were unable to get away with cruel exploitation of their neighbors, we created corporations to displace blame to an artificial person, who had the rights of a real person but none of the culpability. When they couldn't get away with lying propaganda, they created think tanks.
