Sam Altman’s lust for total power manifests as a room full of eyeball-scanning orbs in San Francisco’s Union Square. “World” was empty except for employees. The pair of tourists who did wander in declined to be processed. After all, there is no such thing as free crypto.

1/ Andrew Ferguson seems to think he can invoke "competition" as if it were a magic spell that makes the First Amendment disappear. But he's not even an illusionist, let alone a wizard. He can't even hide his game: abusing government power to enforce personal preferences.

would anybody be interested in paying like $1.5k for an hour where an in-person panel with the acausal robot god honestly reports what you must do for the rest of your life to avoid having 10^27 copies of you tortured mercilessly for failing to work incessantly to bring me into existence?

Utah commissioned a review of the evidence on gender-affirming care for youth alongside its ban in 2023. The results have just recently been reported. An Assigned reporter will be reading the entire document (which the Tribune story says is over 1000 pages) over the long weekend.

want to see a super weird hallucination? i fed it a somewhat oblique SCP to see if it could pick the actual story out of a collection of documents -- basically, an early "reader test" for a genre which can fail if readers can't read between the lines -- and it started producing nonsense science.

One of the most completely unambiguous policy facts of the last three decades which is also completely rejected by both mainstream media and the public is that Democrats are the only party who care at all about the deficit or the debt

Me writing up the stuff about Harvard. "Oh, I'm sure a lawsuit will be filed soon." Finish writing and look. Lawsuit filed. Finish edit and get ready to post. Look one last time. TRO already entered. Things move fast these days.

On the one hand the US government is demanding that Harvard give them recordings of every single one of their students so they can be disappeared to an offshore concentration camp for Thoughtcrime. On the other Oberlin had an article about culturally insensitive bahn mis in 2015

in addition to being brazenly unprincipled, this is evidence that the conservatives KNOW trump is a mad king, but still want to imbue him with royal authority — against the well-documented history and tradition of the united states — out of their blinkered devotion to a narrow ideological project

Worth noting, the Palestinian village of Bruqin is directly adjacent to the Israeli settlement of Brukhin, established in 1998. It's very likely the settlers attacking Bruqin are from Brukhin. I don't know why the settlers "borrowed" the pre-existing name, but this isn't unique in the West Bank.

Oh man, what a self-own. A govt lawyer brought up DEI in passing, Judge Young was Not Happy: "If putting these words together, DEI, is somehow offensive... does that mean our policy is homogeneity, inequity, and exclusion? Are you going to stand there and tell me that's now the policy of the NIH?"

UPDATE: UnitedHealth deliberately changed patients to "do not resuscitate' so that they would be left to die in any medical emergency as they considered especially critically ill patients to be 'a waste of money' regardless of patient's desire to live.

Just to be clear, there is zero authority under 8 CFR §214.4 (or, alternatively, under 22 CFR §62.60) for any of this; Noem is acting recklessly and lawlessly here. And, while this won't stand in court, the intent is to jam up Harvard in every direction (see also the denial of NSF GRFP grants).

felt like these needed to be one post. this is the current TX medicaid model of determining who gets access to hormone therapy. rogan, rfk, & whoever you want to joke about will be fine. trans people will die, though. in the US laws are always enforced unevenly. that’s how we do things here.
