There are some things that it’s the government’s job to care about whether the voters do or not.
During the Biden years the admin and Congress framed so much policy as "China Competition" and the truth is Americans by and large do not care.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Im a lifelong baseball fan and a nearly lifelong “wait, why do we care about the Hall of Fame?” guy. And I have never felt more justified in my contrarianism than I do this week.

The best thing about the 12 team playoff controversies is that nobody involved could get within two touchdowns of the top 3 seeds, and therefore I don’t have to care which cannon fodder they select.
I thought an 8-team playoff would've been enough, I don't support going past 12, but one way or another, now that we're to a place where undefeated teams do not get left out, the only answer to any playoff 'snub' whining is "damn, you probably should've just won all your games"

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

I don’t love LLMs because, to me, “reading something big/grand and consolidating and incorporating it into my worldview and understanding” is one of the great *pleasures* of life, not one of the chores to escape. I don’t hate LLMs for the same reason— I feel bad for people missing the pleasure.

Jordan Love just made a worse pass than Caleb has made in his whole Bears career, which is not a low bar.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30
Why do Gen Z have a growing appetite for retro tech?

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

I need Ryan Day to stay at OSU for decades, because he is the Big Ten’s true follicular successor to Gene Keady, and we deserve to see how that story plays out over the years.

This collection of policies ends us with our country entirely reliant on Chinese-made EVs within 15 years. Seems…suboptimal?
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

If Trin is going to be forced out of the league she absolutely should drag Berman and all the other owners who are advocating to underpay women down with her. Make them look stupid, keep pointing out how this is their fault.
