un biopic really bad

I would read this. References to “western civilization”, even when they aren’t clearly fascist, have been getting under my skin for awhile, for reasons I haven’t been able to completely articulate.

Kinda think “humanoid robots” is the tell here. An intelligent robot optimized for fulfilling Amazon orders would, I would guess, not have human form, but if your technical imagination is limited by Star-Trek-mediated-through-Elon-Musk, this is where it goes.

The “America won’t elect a woman” attack isn’t going to go away until we do, so there’s nothing to do but keep trying.

Yeah I mean, I’m not watching it in real time like it’s the candidates, but if I see a ChessNetwork video about it I’m clicking. I do find it cool to see the computer make a move that no human understands and then justify it in some shocking way a dozen moves later.

I reckon there’s more of a market for the TCEC than there would be for robot marathons. Bc in TCEC I’m watching something mysterious unfold that I don’t quite understand, but I’m totally comfortable with the concept of a machine that moves fast.

Mamdani and AOC are the faces of socialism now, even more than Bernie Sanders.

Reopen the Golden Door Repeal the Immigration and Nationality Act—immigration restrictionism is the Slave Power of the 21st century.

Holy hell this is a BANGER.

Maybe it’ll happen, maybe it won’t. Correct behavior at this moment is the same either way.

I have decided that I simply cannot worry about AMOC collapse. That is one climate change thing that is just gonna stay outside my scope.

oh wow you’re telling me that jd vance follows yet another nazi on twitter

I’m gonna save this as a prediction, but my gut feeling is the Gulf and European officials are right.

Nationalize Starlink.

This is a really good piece.

having “Sir Duke” and “I Wish” as consecutive tracks on a new album -- to me that’s preposterous.

also: this is why Mamdani has made sure to maintain a good relationship with Hochul

turns out you can do a lot more when the governor is a political ally

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

Filed next to “Trump definitely thinks asylum seekers come from insane asylums” and “Hegseth definitely thought Iran was going to erect a physical barrier over the Strait of Hormuz”.

Instant top 5 post on here.

Lol

Do not make me learn a new software.

Oh okay, I got there. It took work though.

When I moved to the east coast in college I was always startled by people dropping prepositions, eg “When are you done work?”

Wait I thought these guys like coal?

*BESSENT: A CHINESE EV IS 'A COAL-POWERED VEHICLE'

[as an aside, if you could hypothetically swap all US ICE vehicles for BEVs charged off coal plants, you'd reduce emissions because of efficiency gains]

dems are not perfect but they got this guy out in the span of a weekend, while the republicans made Hegseth the secretary of defense

“new communities (e.g. women, vloggers)” is an instant classic

AOC, Pritzker, and Jamelle Bouie are progressive haters. We love them and have no reason to suspect they’ll betray their principles.

Porter, Platner, and Fetterman are assholes. We can see how all that has turned out.

Unfortunately Newsom is both, which is why predicting his behavior is difficult.

Yes… haha… YES

incredible

Lessons I’m going to take from Orban’s loss:

1. Credibly attacking corruption and self-dealing is still powerful

2. Competitive autocrats can be beaten
