Who else SUPPORTS Senator Van Hollen?! 🤚

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

Dear Democrats. People can and do change their minds. It is not the Green Lantern Theory of Politics to think that maybe, just maybe, we should push issues to make them unpopular.

All of this but especially the media. Without a strong media presence, nothing else really matters.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

the three of us are having a conversation

I think this is more a comment on how technical interviews are pretty disconnected from real work and how poorly we interview skilled people than anything about imitative AI.

The moment is now — Hold them in contempt of court, sanction the lawyers, and lock up those disregarding court orders like we do with everybody else. Or else, stop cosplaying balance of powers.

If you need imitative AI for ideas, you have bigger problems. Also, my first draft sucks. open.substack.com/pub/kcraybou...

This. I wrote about this before, but a lot of this is simply testing driving schools to a form of education that makes even avid readers hate books by the time they are out of high school kcraybould.substack.com/p/murder-is-...

This man will never be returned home. First, they cannot let him talk to the media to show what they have done and the torture prison they promise to send people to. Two, Roberts has given them an out to do what they want and they want to torture immigrants.

These guys do great work on the labor, culture, and fun of video games. Worth the subscription

as of right now, we're at 4,430 subscribers, which is great! almost 100 more than we started this week with. but we're still hoping to hit 4,500 before the end of tomorrow, so we've added a new goal: if we make it to 4,475, we'll extend inside baseball week into next week. that means more stories!

As the father of an autistic kid: fuck this liar. This possibility has been studied to death and does not exist. The only reason to push it is because you HATE the idea that someone else knows more than you do and thus should be listened too rather than your own whims. It's childish lashing out.

Saying the quiet parts out loud. ICE needs ot be disbaded when the Dems take power.

Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

I saw a trainer at my gym today wearing a tshirt that said “Crypto is for Virgins” and her shirt basically made my day.

Functional Stupidity. After a certain level of money, you have to work really hard not to only hear what you want. (Some do. Not all) Anyone who listened to musk talk about something they understood realized he was a dolt in that area. Logical to consider that he might be a dolt in all areas. 1/2

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day

I am so tired of right wingers making everything about their inadequacy. Who games book awards? How pathetic do you have to be that the idea of someone that doesn't look and think exactly like you winning an award sets you off like this? Grow up and just enjoy shit, man.

Anyone who participated in or facilitated this needs to go to jail if this is in fact illegal. We got here in large part because no one paid for Jan 6th and the Bush torture regime.

There’s a real link between AI writing and Silicon Valley meal replacement drinks and the entire fuckin swath of maximizing the human experience and it’s that they view pleasure as being unhelpful to life. I don’t want a drink that replaces a meal, I don’t want a book summary, I want to savor things

The young guys who want to work and are worried about their current economic situation support Democrats. Young guys who believe women are their adversaries drifted to the Republicans. youngmenresearchinitiative.substack.com

They changed the rules after people voted. This is the end of democracy in at least North Carolina, and likely anywhere the GOP has a majority in the state courts. This is going to end very badly.

defeating my enemies by licking them gently

This is how I tend to think about our history, to be honest: the story of American greatness is a story of overcoming the flaws in our republic. And there are periods of retreat and backlash, but in the past, we've always renewed the quest for that more perfect union.

Promises, promises .....
