The USA somehow lost the ability to be mildly annoyed and it turns out there being a middle ground between "I like this person" and "This person must be publicly executed in front of their loved ones" was load bearing for human civilization.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

This is a tough one for them with the midterms coming up. Swing voters love being shot in the face
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait
WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

By the way this press release you’d think the LASD deputy got attacked by a barista. Instead, it’s about someone allegedly drawing a pig on the deputy’s cup.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

I mean the union has already been dissolved why is the losing side of the transaction the one keeping up the façade
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Excitement around Claude Code reminds me of the buzz around GPT-3, which was (correctly!) intense — but limited to a tiny group of people who responded “wow, coherent babble; I see hundreds of ways to use that.” Broader audience ignored the lunatics until easy interface was invented 2022.
The unspoken point of my response to @tedunderwood.com was that the "we" that are all coders now is still limited to folks who for whatever reason don't need to be taught my (1) or (2) above, which comprise many but by no means a majority of folks.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Consider LLMs as a first contact scenario. Most AI discourse is still in the "point weapons and demand it speak English" phase. The magic is in the "learn to draw circles" phase.

Saying this in general terms: agents of a state who kill nonviolent protesters because they made them upset really would be tried & if found guilty executed in a reasonable world
