The OpenAI list of charities is a great example of how EA is good in aggregate and how when you replace EA board members with people like Larry Summers you end up with a list of charities entirely focused on looking good instead of doing good. openai.com/index/people...

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.

But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

Take - woke 1 was right about sexism and racism still being large issues but
-Focused too much on micro aggressions.
-Focused too much on collective guilt.
-Focused too much on self flagellation.
-Focused too much on social censure and performative wokeness as the response.

Tarantino's review here, along with his Superman reviews, Jordan's GM'ing, are all really good examples of how someone can excel at an art while also being terrible evaluators of others skill.

The agony of woke1/trump1 is that the potential danger of Trump was enormous and a lot of people treated it like it was the perfect excuse to advance their immediate personal interests at the expense of broader cohesion

it's inevitable but i don't really like that the popular response to Trump's admin blaming Biden for the shooter is to point out that Trump let this guy in

there's no such thing as a perfect screening process and it's bad to beg the question that a single bad apple represents a vetting failure

I'm seriously questioning on whether people truly believe Trump is a monster or if they're just parroting words they see other people say.

Why the fuck would you ever consent to a photo of yourself smiling with a guy who wrote a poem for Epstein on the outline of a naked young girl?

This is what I mean. Mamdani has given Trump a surge of populist credibility - among some of the most impossibly stupid people in the country, sure, but credibility nonetheless

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth just launched a sham investigation into me for my support for Ukraine, all because I demanded Trump’s call transcripts with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman be released. 

Instead of transparency, I was met with retaliation.

its moments like this, where you can tell who hates Trump with everything in their heart and soul, and who really wishes they could trick Orange Daddy around to being on their side tee-hee-hee wouldn't that be great.

I don't want Trump to do anything, I want him in prison.

It's very bad that the RNC has greatly outraised it this year.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Trump calling for the execution of his political opponents isn't anywhere on the nytimes, cnn, bloomberg, cnbc main pages.

Reporters think that just because it is happening on social media, it doesn't matter.

Any President who calls for the opposition party to be hanged should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

Elon is a bullshit artist but some people are letting negative polarization rewrite their brain to become against objectively good things that he has unfortunately branded himself as being associated with. Actually working self driving cars are obviously good and will likely save many lives.

I'm very opposed to any local dem mayors or governors meeting with Trump, as it normalizes his illegal and disastrously corrupt presidency.

This holds for Whitmer as it holds for Mamdani.
