Pre-ordered my copy of @equalityalec.bsky.social's new book, Copaganda, which comes out on the 15th. Alec's work is excellent and groundbreaking and necessary in these times. Buy here: bookshop.org/p/books/copa...

TIL: there are now POW-MIA stickers that append “J6” on them. I learned this in the valet line for the Ohio Innocence Project fundraiser. I need a nap.

There will be a point where they realize they can't really abuse an LLM. This is when the cultism on the individual consumer-level will fall apart.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.
