Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.
I get why trump was so popular for people like these. The idea of society existing, shame existing, any sort of duty to others was too much for their brains. Trump would end the very concept of shame. They want to be racist selfish assholes AND have it socially unacceptable to shame them for it

At this point one of these dipshits need to just name their new airline Icarus Airlines.
My brother owns a Tesla, at least till he wears it out (he has an unbelievably bad commute, drove multiple Prii into the ground, "is it still a low-emissions vehicle if it is burning oil" -- he has the poster-child commute for EVs and hybrids). So I can ask him.
Given that I've never owned an EV nor charged one, I am a little wary of the process. An EV would be wasted on my -- I've driven to work less than once a year for the last 11 years, and almost all my shopping and errands are by bike. An EV would be a big hunk of valuable electronics, parked 24/7.
So, you're aware of facts, math, logic, and consequences.
Hyper-competent plain people, rising to the occasion. Carlos Arredondo, helping save Jeff Bauman's life. Bauman, who wakes up in a hospital and even after all that recalls enough to describe a bomber. And the guy in the hijacked car, who manage to escape yet left his trackable phone in the car.
One thing I wish we acknowledged more is that the anti-woke coalitions have won—both in the Democratic Party and in much of the country more broadly—and yet they’re still complaining.
The pitch is 100% capitalist; let us improve LLMs just a little bit more, and you can replace a notable fraction of your expensive work force. The capitalists are behaving entirely game-theoretically; who can afford their stuff in the future, is not their concern, only that they maximize short-term.
I've used them for debugging, and if even you don't trust them to write code, they can root-cause many bugs (enough to matter) very quickly. I'm not sure that's worth all the investment, but it's real, isn't crime, and that plus good demo gives boosters a better pitch.
This "push" seems more pervasive than anything else I've seen. The cryptocurrency/NFT crowd was fervent, but not broad-based. Crypto was a combo of bullshit and libertarian fairy tales about currency, and its only practical use case is crime, but LLMs have some non-zero utility, and give good demo.
The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles.
That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org.
(All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).
Same goes for all the other late-to-the-game conservative Trump opponents. I'm glad they finally saw the light, but it would be really nice to hear them acknowledge/apologize that the people they used to argue against, actual better understood how the world works.
He helped do this. The "biased left-wing experts" predicted and opposed this sort of outcome. Either he was too stupid to understand their prediction and opposition (never mind predict it himself), or this is what he wanted and now he is embarrassed.
You can give me just one of those millions, I promise my viewpoint would bring some diversity to Harvard

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.
No, what's madness is your selfish self absorption that causes you to completely misunderstand how elections work and why/how to vote. You're not marrying anyone. You're choosing a direction for the country to move in. Your voting to defend marginalized people. Harm reduction. Progress. The future.
The 2-party system isn't some grand conspiracy. It's simply the statistically emergent phenomenon caused by our use of the flawed Plurality Voting Method ("First past the post") and amplified by the Electoral College. It's just math, and no amount of wasting votes on 3rd party spoilers can change it
In a single sentence, our dementia-ravaged president says that he might not get the support of Senator Thom Tillis but it's OK because Senator Thom Tillis is not a senator anymore.
Technically correct, for small values of multi.
Joe Biden was denied communion because of his views on abortion rights. How the fuck is the Catholic Church not excommunicating Trump and his evil minions?
you could put jd vance in charge of a party at a brothel in vegas and he'd manage to somehow both get herpes and not get laid, he is a generational fuckup talent that we haven't seen since, like, spiro agnew, who no one younger than me even knows existed
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
