A big attraction for new cities is a desire to do away with local democratic governance altogether. Moldbuggery, but only opt-in (for the first generation at least)

Gold is a pretty common wedding gift in a lot of cultures, though 1 oz seems a bit rich (at least more than I got)

I had hbomax when I moved to Canada, and I literally couldn’t cancel it online. Recognized I was in Canada, so service unavailable, so no access to account interactions (?)

I think most of the common use cases for AI models don’t violate copy right, but some obviously do. And there’s no practical way for AI companies to prevent violations

I kept thinking PBS was going to me some vaguely right-wing specific acronym like PMC. Nope, just big bird. But if some right-wing grifter wants the rights to Permanent Bureaucratic State, call me.

It seems like a failure of imagination to say that the only legislative response to impoundment is another law making impoundment illegal. Democrats could cut funding until impoundment stops, or until musk is fired.

Real talk, cheese in Canada is way too expensive. Undercutting the dairy cartel in the first tariff showdown was the least concession concession ever

Coburn’s old wastebooks always had really good science write ups. Like three paragraphs explaining the research methodology and importance of bird flu, then dismiss it all as ‘why don’t they study the flu in people? This research is for the birds’

I think the more likely reshuffle is more of direct funding inefficiently used for F&A. As in groups having much less lab space in favor of user facilities, and more admin tasks being done by PIs instead of admins

Rightists have blamed minorities and women for the last 473 things to go wrong, and they've been wrong every time.
Therefore, they must be due. Really, what are the chances they would be wrong 474 times in a row?

In QFT atoms are a bound state (though too complicated to calculate analytically). Alternatively, we’ve known atoms were divisible since well before QFT.

In turn, this means a lot of people convince themselves that the reason they can’t/won’t cook is because they aren’t rich, which is a very seductive excuse
