Looks like a Rockwell painting

That chyron though

What a beautiful study subject

I'm not an accelerationist, but I'm truly amazed that resistance hasn't turned violent. I dread the day I open this app and see that it has

Yep, now I'm skeptical of everyone who says it to me. How sad. It's like the way handshakes became political after the lockdowns

This is not a place set up for romance. Or gettting relaxing, atmospheric massages. Or impressing wealthy and prominent associates. There's really only one thing these rooms are set up for, and I'm not sure how anyone who had ever been to this place could be confused about that

It's neck and neck with "read that again" for me

Also, the status quo had flaws that are currently being aggressively exploited. It's not worth returning to it

The Republican playbook has become "Let's do whatever we want and see if anybody says 'no' " and when somebody does say "no", they back down. Not sure why Dems can't give it a try. If not, there won't be much status quo left to maintain

I sold my Chomsky books this year. These days they feel like if someone wrote book after book proving the sky is blue

I remember reading tweets in 2015 about Katy Perry being so inspiring for sharing her Super Bowl spotlight with a nobody named Missy Elliott

"Trump orders the sun to rise for the 313th day in a row this term"

It's like if Philip Morris marketed cigarettes as a way to fund cancer research. Maybe if AI was already entrenched in society and it was a kind of apology, one of many ways to make amends for the damage already done? But no, not as a growing market

It struck me just now that even a conservative's lived experience tells them that America is not Christian. People like Hegseth are in power because the experience of living in this country is not the same thing as the experience of living in a Christian nation

Maybe what the world needs is one good holiday cycle of dinner fiascos and everyone will stop implicitly trusting AI

I think of this scene almost every time I top off my coffee cup. Lucy calling it a "warm up", everyone's extreme enthusiasm for the idea, it's just great

There's a small red door in the left wall that's visible in several shots throughout the series, and I can't help but see it as a symbol of the Man From Another Place and therefore evil lurking in the school

Not to mention a technological novelty, very difficult for anyone in history to do until like the last couple decades

I think a lot of voters were dissatisfied with the number of criminals they thought were coming into the country, then recoiled at the number of innocent people who have to be deported to keep up the illusion that we were being overrun. I haven't seen that false narrative die out yet, though
