I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country.
The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

In this Year of Reading, a gentle reminder:
The best way to get your kids reading is to let them see *you* reading. The way to *stop* your kids reading is to criticize their choices, or to make reading a competition, or a punishment, or a race, or a learning tool. Let it be fun. Let them read.

zohran quoting and then rejecting "the era of big government is over," the line that captured the zenith of clintonian neoliberalism, is highly symbolic

Twenty million Americans have a completely new chronic illness from a pandemic our government said was over in mid 2022, before the two highest waves even happened. And now they are ending the subsidies that allowed millions to afford healthcare. The rage I feel could birth a new galaxy.

A friend said, 'focusing on Silicon Valley isn't helping us replace it.' I disagree. Wars require maps and knowledge of your enemy's methods and plans. Focus on SV, treated as the foundation of a battle plan, is essential.

Cheap delivery is not an adequate replacement for a physical store.
Grocery stores provide a range of services, not just food. And that’s assuming online delivery provides sufficient access to food. And there is no reason that poor consumers should be captured by an online-only service.

What if I told you Walmart is not the only store trying to move into low-cost delivery? And this is about Atlanta because this is about Atlanta opening a city-subsidized grocery store.
And lastly, cheap delivery is a more than adequate replacement for a physical store. This is about physical stuff!

And why should someone have to bear the cost of food delivery? Or be restricted to Walmart? And how did this become specifically about Atlanta? So many goal posts.
Anyway delivery is not an adequate replacement for a physical store in accessible proximity of where one lives.

The truth is science fiction warned us endlessly not to let fear control us.
