Cool, so like the University Of An Unincorporated Township In Idaho is going to get $700M in cancer research money

Hey now, Green Hill Zone is the kind of mixed-density suburban community that YIMBYs dream of

At some point it seems easier to just send a skilled professional with an axe, like they used on Anne Boleyn

Would that be, y'know, good for him?

"You know that terrible crooked mayor New Yorkers hate? He thinks you should vote for Cuomo!"

Takei has a legit civil rights resume - on top of his experience with the last iteration of American concentration camps - so I'm reluctant to block him, I just wish he would do less boomerposting

I'm impressed that the editors let you frame this story this way, and can only assume that they've concluded his victory is inevitable and you don't want to be on his shit list

Mark Hamill is Star Wars' answer to George Takei

Yeah but OTOH Thomas Jefferson would have heartily approved of the idea of unidentified agents rounding up brown people

I want somebody to start a PAC that runs ads attacking candidates for sending out unsolicited fundraising texts, so that I can donate money to it - and name the candidate I'm donating on behalf of - every time I receive one

“Shut. Down. Everything” but this time it’s to keep the president of Madagascar in rather than the pandemic out

No, my point is that people will be able to accomplish those tasks with a cheaper simpler LLM that doesn’t need much money to be profitable
elkmovie.bsky.social
Like, not only does the market for LLMs have to grow by several orders of magnitude in a very short time to pay for it all, but *also* the tasks people want LLMs to do for them have to continue to require big expensive data centers or else people will drop ChatGPT the second it starts charging money
elkmovie.bsky.social
I continue to think that while "LLMs aren't actually that world-changing" is a risk people have at least started paying attention to, "good-enough LLMs are going to be cheap and ubiquitous and those $1B data centers are going to become a liability rather than a moat" is an equally serious problem

I'm surprised that DOGE didn't kill that unit for being "trans"national

They mean "war on drugs" in the Jean-Claude-Van-Damme-in-"Universal-Soldier" sense, not, y'know, a war *against* drugs

"Any serious person" I have some bad news about John Roberts

In fairness Duffy is basically the Secretary Of Whining About What People In New York Are Doing at this point

The literal Spanish Inquisition thought he was taking it too far

The Satmars are savvy enough to make nice with the new mayor; the "Jews for Jihadists?" protesters are like dumb little birds living on a predator-free island who've never had to face serious opposition before

(Also frankly it would be great if they use up all of their best attacks on him in the primary)
elkmovie.bsky.social
Yep, but there’ll be even greater forces of darkness assembled to back Collins, so again, if he can’t win the primary then he would have had little hope in the general
elkmovie.bsky.social
True, but if Platner can’t beat a 77 year old lady in the primary then I don’t like his odds of beating a 72 year old lady in the general

If there's any group of civilians in the history of warfare that you can raid without feeling the tiniest shred of guilt about it, it's Southern plantation owners
