The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Katie Mack @astrokatie.com · Jun 19

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

2025 is just like the 2008 financial crash, except if everyone was like "We're obviously about to have a major financial crash".

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Dang, I noticed that and fixed it like an hour ago, but the cache must not've updated (or something). Still, thanks for the heads up!

The first Jim Crow was enacted under the auspices that racism is a necessity and a great and natural moral good.

The second one is being enacted under the auspices that racism doesn’t exist if you claim you don’t see it and anyone who questions your motives about that is oppressing you.

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...

Jay Willis @jaywillis.net · 18d

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

New horror movie somehow not a metaphor for trauma

BRANDON, MB - Scary movie enthusiasts are stunned after discovering that a recent popular horror film is in no way an allegory for grief, PTSD, or intergenerational trauma.

On a show that was fundamentally about upending horror tropes (the werewolf is the nice boy, the blonde cheerleader kills the monster) Buffy’s finale upends its own trope - not just one girl against the demons, but as many as they decide.
