it is funny how many people affiliated with the secret police have had to say "stop making fun of the secret police, the guy in the tac vest that covers him like a training bra is a hero, he tracked down and subdued two hospice orderlies using only the W-2 forms they file annually"

Watching her update her takes in real time to curry favor with a regime that clearly dislikes her would be genuinely funny if it weren’t such high stakes. She was put in office to annoy liberals, not accomplish anything, and it grates at her constantly.

"Shame on you, @Grok" is exceptionally funny stuff. It's like Werner von Braun weeping, tossing papers around his office, and electing to give methamphetamine to a V2 rocket.

The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret “woke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

"Bill Maher is an out of touch moron" is take so lukewarm and easy to have in my business it could come FROM Bill Maher, but the idea that he sees the "dumb slob guy / hot wife" sitcom cliche as anti-male pandering to WOMEN (re: "making fun of men") and can't discern it's male fantasy is... WOW

Andrew Cuomo has the experiences and character to save the nation. He is an exceptional choice for mayor of New York, a city I’ve never stayed in for more than 45 minutes. I’m afraid to cross a street that has more than two lanes. I think the American Airlines chatbot is a real person who likes me

I previously wrote an explainer about why if you just compare infections (or another outcome) directly to control measures – like Macedo and Lee did – rather than thinking about transmission, you'll generally get totally wrong conclusion about effectiveness: kucharski.substack.com/p/how-contag...

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Once you get to breaking into a military base and sabotaging a military plane that would be necessary for, say, moving British troops to Estonia fast if the Russians tried to invade there, I'd say you're well past just being a "protest group." My sympathy here is entirely with the UK govt I'm afraid

Social Media really did doom us by driving elites crazy. Marc Andreseen became convinced the social contract had broken down and that there was no point trying to be a socially responsible wealthy person because there was no philanthropy he could do that would make people stop yelling at him online.

Sure sounds like The Draft Dodger named a warplane after himself without telling the military, then lied about it to America. Shades of his secret, then lied-about comments on the military itself—which confirmed that he has nothing but contempt for it and everyone in it.

If Trump sells off federal land, it’s not just a deal — it’s a death sentence for public power. You’d better believe billionaires won’t turn Yellowstone into a picnic spot. It’s extraction... eviction...and erasure disguised as “freedom.” And once it’s gone? It’s gone forever.
