Chomsky was right in mfg consent. The solution is to separate capitalism from news. There’s some of that happening already with stuff like Meidas.

I think it is both simpler and deeper than that. “When a dog attacks a sheep, the other sheep run away to a safe distance and then turn and watch. They don’t gang up on the dog. They’re just happy it’s not them.” - Pratchett

I’m ok with Xmas cookies. We have a shortbread cookie recipe that is awesome. The other stuff is pretty good, too. But yeah, to each their own. :)

Can’t tell if legitimate ignorance or sealion. Real talk? It’s 2025, “what are trans rights” demonstrates either moral negligence or uncreative bad faith arguments. Either way, I’m gonna block that trash and encourage you to do the same.

So run for something and do better. I’d run but tbh I have too much dirt in my past and too many health issues in my present. I’m far from thrilled with the Dems but will choose the lesser evil every time.

Yup. Every Republican accusation is a confession, and they’ve been accusing folks of election tampering for decades. smartelections.us/dropoff#e165...

Huh. 10 days in a row and counting. Aside from feeling sore, I notice my mood is improved.

These are folks who murdered people. My empathy is for the families of their victims. We either prosecute them to the full extent of military law or continue the descent to lawlessness.

It doesn’t matter. When the actions are blatantly illegal, “just following orders” is no defense. And these actions are blatantly illegal.

This is amazing. “I will pardon people resisting the unlawful use of force by federal agents” or something to that effect?

If you look back historically, the vast majority of the pardon has been used to address injustice.

Nope. This is what they signed up for. When you pick up a gun, you are responsible for where you put the bullets. As has already been demonstrated, it is possible to refuse an illegal order and quit. That’s part of the job here.

You clearly didn’t actually look at OPs stuff. This is “I love not doing the boring footwork of chasing down and validating citations.” Which AI, correctly used, does really well.

I wish that we could simply let bigots fail purely from the inefficiency of their prejudices. While inevitable, it doesn’t happen fast enough. And the suffering of the people discriminated against is unacceptable.

People focus on this study but ignore the creativity divide issue. osf.io/b4ztn basically, creative people get superior results with or without AI. But AI appears to amplify it.

I have no platform. I still think that Jeffries leadership is a disaster. He could use your own advice: focus on the Republicans.
