I really hope that means gas industry folks are meeting at conferences and going, “this might actually work!”

After listening to your recent podcast with Chris Hayes on attention I keep thinking how AI is the opposite of attention, while claiming to provide the same benefit.

So there’s a kid series with a villain called Elon Mollusk. I vote Mollusk. Tusk is too cool.

Maybe something involving a horse? That one is on record.

I think the key thing to understand is that, if VSPs truly acknowledged the nature of today's conservative movement, their own positioning -- wise, above it all, a little of this, a little of that -- would be exposed as craven moral cowardice.

“You can build all the dick rockets you want to go to Mars while you try to leave the rest of us on the burning Earth. We’re gonna take control. This is our world, and it’s our government, and it’s our money.”

The left's earnest wonks just can't bring themselves to think this way. They want to impose some sense on it, some ideological or practical coherence. They keep looking for *reasons*. But power is the only reason -- a necessary & sufficient explanation, of this & everything else they do.

What I keep thinking is that Gen AI adds the equivalent of extra thumbs to text. Our brains can mostly recognize an extra thumb, but you need skill to see it in text.

This is a 30 year old memory, and I still remember how she said, “and then I went back.”

She was refused because she was married and only he could apply for credit. She quoted them as saying, “I don’t care what you think, honey, go home and have your husband fill this out.”
So she went home, ran for office, won, introduced an equal credit law….and then she went back.

When I was in college there was an event with Sarah Weddington who argued Roe v Wade and was in the Texas House. She related the time that she had graduated law school and was working and her husband wasn’t yet. They needed a loan, she applied, and was refused. Why?

Much simpler to irradiate it so you corner the rest of the market.

I feel bad for his kids, for sure, but not being able to sell it predates Musk giving the salute. I’ve been making fun of it for months.

This is also why libertarians who are all “capitalism can solve everything let’s tear down the state!” Should absolutely not be trusted at all. They just want to relitigate some law or rule.

There’s a story that the wheelchair used in the first X-Men movie was purchased at auction, and when the sequel was filmed the owner rented it back…for a profit.

From the headline you would think this is an achievement, not the thing that was never ever supposed to happen again

Anyway, I would love nothing more than to see a bunch of Musk fanboys go broke because they were stupid enough to give him all their money as a "shut up, Mom" tantrum aimed at Liz Warren, who is just trying to protect their sorry asses.
Unfortunately, the rest of us could get hurt.

Wait…I’ve seen guides for sous vide that recommends the opposite for immunocompromised. Is that out of date after more testing?

People are complex, and I’m sure they had an assortment of reasons and might not even be able to say which one was the main reason.
Avoiding embarrassment is another one, except practicing lawyers seem used to angry judges and can handle that.

Will he be the one to defend the motion to a judge or someone else? If it’s him, I’ll withhold judgement until then.

Even if the bird flu is mostly contained with farm animals the suffering and economic fallout will be immense.
