Sure, he's absolutely allied with those groups. But they were dominating our economy before his re-election.

This little five-second animation is the happiest thing I've seen all month.

I’ve long thought that lyrics that sound like Wallace Stevens wrote them is pert of the problem.

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

America's right-wing in a single exchange. It's perfect.

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

Counterpoint: It would be fairest if we were to seize all of the rich's equities, securitize them into a Vanguard-style mutual fund, and distribute shares to all Americans when they attain their majority.

“On the other hand,” Art Spiegelman says in Maus, “he SAID it.”

The problem with the Pintr app is the lag.

Oliver Stone’s Alexander Is amazingly bad.

My only complaint with Noble Knight is that they're too good at figuring out what the market will bear for out-of-print games, which means that whatever such game you buy from them, you can either pay top dollar or go somewhere else, and "somewhere else" doesn't have the game you want.

I should have dug deeper. It sure seemed that the article I was reading confused "sleuth" and "investigator," but a link in that article (see below) makes it clear their use is intentional.

I regret the error, and, er, retract my unfortunate accusation.

I think the mots justes for this are provided by the investigator that the article quotes: ethical editorial malpractice.

The word their LLM was looking for was "investigator." The investigator was one of the authors on the paper in question.

Retraction Watch Tracking retractions as a window into the scientific process

Retraction Watch (retractionwatch.com) is apparently a well-respected web site, but I am sad to report they clearly have AI in their reporting pipeline. No human editor wrote the headline: "A journal named a sleuth in a correction. The sleuth says that was ‘ethical editorial malpractice’"

THIS is an example of a Luddite.

Not at all. That's what I mean by re-establishing the rule of law. Nothing short of that will do it. To pretend that the Senate can stop Trumpism by stamping its little foot and refusing to approve appointees is to pretend that we're living under a normal system. We are not.

That's still too weak. We're past the point of not approving appointees. The President is a lunatic who's threatened nuclear war. He must be removed. All of the members of his administration who have committed federal crimes must be tried and convicted.

That's restoring the rule of law.

The Luddites didn’t riot to destroy machines. They rioted to destroy concentrations of capital. They knew who was at war with them, and tried to make them lose the will to fight.

I believe this is an example of what the young people today call “cope.”

OK, but what are you going to do to restore the rule of law?

You should be doing what South Korea's legislators did to their lawless president.

My favorite thing about the Pioneer mission is that the gold LP that we sent along with this was produced by Jimmy Iovine.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Tell us what you're doing to help organize impeachment in the House, please.

But it’s a painting of a stuffed bear.

Do not have to? Must not.

AWKWARD

Louis CK refuses to do any of that. That's why there's no redemption coming for him. He has to walk the path, and he won't even step onto it.
