Drafted and deleted around five posts on how I'd appreciate it if society could collectively stop acting like memos now supersede laws. Found it hard to simultaneously express that legal fundamentals have historically only been reliable for sociopolitically dominant segments of a population anyway.

for as long as I've been covering politics the chattering classes have demanded that Democrats lead on bipartisanship and it turns out that—as I've always suspected!—it's the exact quality that voters do not want in their politicians

My current hyperfixation is “leftists and liberals continuing their never-ending social media bickering about who is the worst while the libertarian tech bros who control said social media sites take their places at Trump’s side during the inauguration.”

CBS is considering "offer[ing] concessions to win approval" of a merger by paying the President off in a baseless lawsuit he filed. How do you lose the rule of law? Gradually, then suddenly. Not a drill.

You can basically find-replace most of the terms in this article and it applies to everything from the games industry to book publishing and beyond. It's a problem across EVERYTHING right now. We need people who understand their business back in charge, not just people who understand "business".

If you are wondering about who to give to on this list, the orange color means they still need a lot of help. I looked to find whose GFM's were far off from reaching their goal and donated to a couple of those. We all we got, y'all. Even if you can only do $5, please do so. And share the list.

There is a warrant out for President Yoon's arrest. During the martial law he had a private black ops network of retired special forces that he ordered to mass murder protestors. They were called Oldboys, and were armed with hammers. Only reason it didn't happen is because all the Oldboys said no.

I've been dreading this. The company had a big downgrade in quality this year while simultaneously nearly doubting the cost of their databases. Service is intermittent and tech support is barely available.

Other countries like Finland are vaccinating farm workers, who are the vast majority of humans getting bird flu right now. The U.S. is not vaccinating farm workers for bird flu. The idiotic rationale from U.S. health officials is that it’s because bird flu isn’t spreading between humans yet.

This book is so great! Fantastic worldbuilding/Santa lore, a sense of hopefulness that permeates the story (and then the reader), comforting exploration of grief and death, and, of course, it’s very horny. I really think this will become a go-to comfort read for many people.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
