I don't think that the internet was ever filled to the brim with only useful, verifiable info, but it was at one time a vast repository of knowledge. AI articles cannibalizing the web is the opposite of knowledge collection. It takes what once was knowledge and refracts it into something useless.

Straight up Richard Spencer's ideal immigration policy program.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

LCRW is an invaluable resource in the current moment whom we're all lucky to have. Even if you've never read their work, the likelihood that you've read people who poached their work is not small.

Hey everyone,
I hate asking again, but the movers we hired ripped my family off. Quoted us about $4k then extorted another almost $4k. I’m sick from overwork, will have to miss work to recover and we’re down a lot more than planned.
See quoted posted below for donation links.
Anything helps.

Wow it really is just like God.
OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

I've had my problems with 'Prophecy' since I actually read the thing - the percentage of the cult that were field researchers was Too Damn High - but I also remain skeptical of a debunking by a reactionary researcher who seems to have a bone to pick with the social sciences as a whole.
Great piece.
Great piece.
NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It’s one of the most influential social psychology studies ever. Was it all a lie?
A classic book on UFO believers and their "cognitive dissonance" after aliens failed to land is called into question.

Can’t find a clip but I remember this Meet the Press interview with Cheney (2006-7?) where Tim Russert points out that a majority of Americans, like 65%, wanted out of the Iraq War. Cheney didn’t even wait for a question, just interrupted with “So?”

This is a non-answer but many Mother's Days ago my friends and I took a heaping dose of mushrooms in the burbs and, in the peak of it, took a walk to get some ciggys. It was a beautiful day so everyone was outside on their lawns and my friend walked a couple blocks while projectile vomiting.
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

Nothing makes me feel more hopeless about the future then reading articles that take serious pitches advocating geoengineering projects.
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.
The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

I don't even know why Bezos cares if he's in the Epstein files. Will anyone stop using Amazon if he is? I'd like to think so, but I'm not holding my breathe.
And such a vast number of people in his social circle are already implicated that I can't imagine it even hurts his standing with his peers.

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.
