I was waiting for Trump to fire military leaders, and he's done it. This is how dictators consolidate power. If there was any question before, and I don't think there was, those questions are clearly answered: Yes, this is fascism.

Inflation expectations are soaring. Consumer economic sentiment is plummeting. Stocks are crashing. If only someone could have warned that tariffs and chaos were bad for the economy.

Everyone knows being autistic doesn’t make you do Nazi salutes. T-Rex arms, definitely, but not Nazi salutes.

I look at the state of the world and can’t help but think how much better things would already be if Harris had won. I sense people are already fatigued of the Trump chaos.

I don't see why any European country would continue working or talking with the United States as long as Trump is in office.

I don’t think people realize that Rachel Maddow has a D.Phil. (PhD) in Political Science from Oxford.

I don't support BDS because they target businesses just for being owned by Israelis. I have checked people they target, and many have no business in occupied territory. We need more nuance in discussions about Israel. You can criticize human rights violations without being antisemitic.

The only good thing about Musk owning Twitter now is that it really helped my social media addiction. I spend way less time on here now.

Dear democrats: general election voters care more about authenticity than policy. Selecting over-polished milquetoast candidates every time isn’t gonna win you elections, or public support in the mean time. I’m begging for some charisma.

In 3 years, the idea of running Kamala Harris again will seem as absurd as running Hillary Clinton did in 2020.

One of my favorite Supreme Court quotes from oral arguments: "I think what Justice Scalia wants to know is what James Madison thought about video games. Did he enjoy them?"

Having seen multiple speeches and interviews with European leaders at the Munich Security Conference, I believe the Trump administration is on very thin ice. At the current rate, it won't be long before Europe puts a firewall around him, just like the one against European far right extremists.

I'm not against nuclear power in principle, but there are serious safety considerations and it's just not economically viable at the moment. The science says coal and natural gas power cause far more deaths and injuries per MW generated.

The phrase "The first thing we do, let's k!ll all the lawyers" has become an expression of how much people hate lawyers. But that's not what that phrase was meant to express. It's from Shakespeare's Henry VI. It was a commentary about despots undermining the rule of law. Sound familiar?

There's a growing consensus that the Bar's Character and Fitness evaluation has very little predictive value for future attorney misconduct. Yet basically no state has thought "maybe we shouldn't be wasting our time on this shit."

We should send about $50 billion in military aid to Ukraine. Europe should match that. Spring is coming and it would be a good time to bolster their forces. If nothing else, it puts them in a better negotiating position and boosts morale.

You know what Anime is super popular in Japan, but criminally underrated in the US? Detective Conan. Watch it. You’ve got 30 years to catch up on.

The problem with ChatGPT is that it's a generalist for everything and takes way too much compute power to do it. From what I understand, DeepSeek basically created a generalist LLM that delegates tasks to specialist AI models to reduce compute requirement. Take that, go further, add compute power.
