Although, perhaps no. It just crossed my mind that I saw this this morning:

That would be my guess. How he responds will be interesting, because no matter what, he looks weak, which is not exactly Trump's favorite thing.

Okay if you had to bet, did Bibi tell Trump beforehand or not?

Such a wonderful question, but answering "Prospect Park" is sort of like answering "What's your favorite movie?" with "that one about the Star Wars."

This is definitely a key motivation, but I think he also finds it freeing that his political path forward is through an extreme-right ideology he's agreed with and has all along wanted to be able to fully embrace.

And "y'all" is the second person plural....

Yep. I'm as frustrated as anyone by the constant need of D's to reiterate their respectability, but that impulse arises from a standard to which they are held and their adversaries are not.

True in a strategic sense, too. Water doesn't wear down mountains by battering them. It insinuates itself into cracks, finds weaknesses, erodes and cleaves, relentlessly.
Or, as MacArthur put it,"Hit 'em where they ain't."

C'mon man. This approach might've worked once upon a time, but no longer. The Trump outrage machine will have cranked out a dozen new ones while you're "collecting the facts," which are fucking obvious anyway.
If you're going to do anything, now's the time.

Lol yes the first sentence gives the President the authority, and the rest is just there because Congress felt like it would be awkward to have the statute be so short.

Maybe his buddy Charles Kushner can have a quiet word with Trump about it.

Rear Window is just gorgeous and incredibly complex in this regard. For a long time, Vertigo was my favorite, but over time I've come to feel that Rear Window is the one where he got both his thematic and his aesthetic obsessions most nicely mashed up into one insane little frame.

Yeah the sense of irreality is hard to deal with. Like, my neighbor is out mowing his lawn. He's a retired NYC cop, Hispanic, married to a Black woman. Good neighbors. They probably support all this shit. How the fuck do we process this? It's like all these things are happening in the Astral Plane.

I love hearing great musicians talk about other music they love and why. They find inspiration in places you wouldn't expect, not bound by genre at all, just approaching it with an openness and letting it spark their own creativity. It's something I admire and try to emulate.

The math nerd in me feels compelled to point out that exponential curves do *not* contain singularities. Neither do hypergeometric ones, which grow even faster.
Dude needs a nice tangent or maybe a tastefully oriented hyperbola.

Not everything is a messaging exercise. This regime operates by creating facts on the ground irrespective of wispy impediments of law or public opinion.
They must also be met there, where they've drawn the battle lines. It's not expected or even desirable for officialdom to approve of it.

Yes, thank you for saying this. Trumpism has been an aesthetic phenomenon from the start, which most now have finally understood means that criticizing it for hypocrisy or other forms of logical inconsistency is completely irrelevant.

Fascism is literally the overloading of signifiers. It is the aestheticization of politics as Walter Benjamin would put it. It doesn’t operate on the same rules as a liberal order. You cannot fight it with the same rules as a liberal order.

This doesn't make LLM's categorically bad; they are clearly useful for some things. But they are not "everything machines" and need to be properly conceived, developed, deployed, managed in order to be useful rather than destructive.
