It's interesting how completely uninhibited these administration people are, with no fear of any consequence, legal or otherwise, now or in the future.

Wow, what a scam. LLM chat is honestly one of the very stupidest things human beings have done on a world scale. Think about it. Fossil fuel turned out to be stupid but it had a function. War is almost as pointless, but not quite. LLMs only cost: both electricity+human brain function

Yes let's blame Jon Stewart. Not the Democrats who suck shit. Not Biden, not the exquisitely fake and hapless Harris, not Schumer, not the whole party which has the power to punch back but does nothing. No, it's clearly Jon Stewart's fault.

1,100 pieces against trans people in just 4 papers over 1 year. Almost 1 a day per paper. With absolutely no recourse at all. Is it any wonder that trans people are both angry and terrified?

Even to the extent that she was there on Michigan's behalf, what is it going to take to convince people normal politics is over? If it's not undesirables who haven't done anything being sent to a gulag or people getting arrested for their opinions, what will it take? What would Trump have to do?

Trump has perfected the art of Pareto Worsening, a change in allocation making at least one person worse off without making a single person better off. Trade war, Medicaid cuts, science cuts, there are no winners here, only losers.

Social security or social death is just so on the nose. I'm a bit stunned.
