Sanders: He now wants to take away CBS’s license because they did a story that criticized him. Oh my word, CBS criticized him! Oh, let’s drive them out of business, how terrible… If you can’t take criticism, get out of the political process. This is a democracy

AOC: Only 2% of people on Medicaid are able-bodied.. I saw Mike Johnson saying we have to stop all the able-bodied men from being on Medicaid — as if it’s a crime for someone to have healthcare in America. Healthcare is a human right, and everyone should have it.

I was interviewed today re: the relevance of the Declaration of Independence People think "When in the Course of Human Events" is the imp't part. The preamble. But the meat is the long list of sins the King committed vs the colonists. They believed their rights were being violated by a tyrant.

Why be ethical? (four options, best to worst) 1. Conscience -- do it for its own sake, but it can cost you 2. Social Contract -- collective benefit, we owe each other 3. Religious / Parental -- external judgement or penalty 4. Don't be ethical (sociopathy, nihilism, etc.) I try to teach my son #1

How about a psych evaluation? I don't care that he can remember 5 words in order. Some geniuses that can't remember a simple shopping list. A Voight-Kampff machine would be better to test for sociopathy.

Gaslighting is intentional abuse. No ambiguity here. If Collins added: "You can reverse how he arrived, put him on a plane and send him into US custody," he'd just reply, "You want me to chop him into pieces and mail him? Barbaric. Send him with a bomb vest? Mint him as a trump coin? You're crazy."

If we had ranked-choice voting, more people would vote and $47 would not have won. It lets you express your protest vote, but also make sure the most widely supported candidate wins. When this shit is over and we make sweeping corrections, let's ditch the electoral college and add ranked-choice.

Today the major antitrust trial against Meta kicks off. When dominant companies use their size to buy up their competition, consumers suffer. Strong antitrust enforcement like this is key to giving consumers more choice and strengthening our economy.

Here's the actual op-ed: www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024... There are things I could debate in there, if it would do any good. But that's no crime. Advocating for divestment and calling things Apartheid and Genocide is not anti-semitic. There's no endorsement of terrorists or advocacy of violence.

$47's "Art of the Deal" is to basically threaten to destroy the thing he wants until he gets the best possible deal. If the other party isn't yet crying, he keeps going harder. Right now, his MO is to burn down his own house to try to get the best sale price. I don't think that works at all.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Important to watch. She's absolutely right that the key to fighting bullies and tyrants is to band together, lock arms and support each other as needed. The assholes count on picking us off one by one, starting with the weakest link, and scaring others. She is not the weakest link. But someone is.
