I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

If a product makes certain things about life more straightforward and less prone to a chain of comedic errors, thats a good product.

If products make things more complex, there is more to go wrong…and more corners and edge cases for some weirdo to think they’ve spotted a killer side hustle

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

I genuinely do not get how a certain group of people cannot get it through their heads that officership at a certain level is an art of bureaucratic management. It's doing paperwork and administering an institution.

It's just an institution of guns rather than the DMV.

The "woke programming" here is that the character has two moms.

Notable how quickly the right moved from their feigned concern about children's medicine and athletics to outright gay-bashing.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

It's a small but important distinction: AI is not yet taking swaths of jobs by directly replacing human labor. It's taking jobs because the capital executives would typically use to hire humans is being reallocated to burn for AI companies that may never be solvent

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.
The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.
