I, for one, am looking forward to Congress exercising its Article I, Section 8 authority to issue letters of marque and reprisal.

it’s a good question! my kinda-speculative answer is we’re seeing sincere quasi-religious piety to a nonpartisan ideal, at least from some folks.

In contrast to commercial radio or partisan press, there are sincere (maybe naive) folks who wish to serve the ideal public radio of their dreams/hopes.

(I didn't intentionally use the AI search but it turned out to have a decent summary. Sometimes they do. This is not a defense of AI.)

So I'm moving into a ~300 sqft studio for the equivalent of about 10 days of work (not counting utilities, which are another day of work). But remember I'm not purchasing, just renting. So this homebuyer got to own a small house for just a little over what I'm paying each and every month 💀

You couldn't get much with 1/3 shekel & 15; grains of silver these days !

I was just thinking about this yesterday after seeing graffiti over a commemorative plaque to Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley

new sticker design soon, still need to decide a quantity and place order

Very likely

Current status of the Strait
-Open

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

My whole childhood was being bullied for being smart and friendly at the same time so yeah

See? Everything is OK

I'm fairly sure the fabrication of the 62 million man rape academy is an op

Who benefits from that kind of ragebait?

love to see that anthropic prompters (I feel like you lose the right to term engineer at this point) are doing the classic "don't make things incorrectly" prompt.

If this prompting worked, it would imply the models got trained to make mistakes on purpose, just as a bit of fun or something.

Great note by @bloomberg this morning on which part of the country is getting hit the hardest by the jump in gasoline prices.

Failure to compile a list of the disappeared combined with tribunals in addition to reparations will constitute a failure of whatever comes after this administration, mark my words.

this one has hit TikTok and Instagram also so I hope everybody has fun with that

Femicide is the real problem not "male loneliness"

BREAKING: 40 Senators voted to block shipments of bulldozers to the Israeli military and 36 voted to block the transfer of bombs. Onward, until we stop arming Israel.
