Morning soundtrack. Not much more to add about this one than what I wrote last time I put it on. Frank Haynes was an amazing in-the-pocket tenor player, and anytime he played, you knew what to expect. Whereas with the all-time greats, anytime they played, you didn't know what to expect.

Remember, you are under no obligation to ever side with Tucker Carlson when he makes some anti-Trump comment. He is a fascist apologist who apparently thinks Hitler winning WWII would have been fine. He is, in my humble opinion, a silver spooned bigot who romanticizes white supremacy.

Some rationalists fear their association with AI safety may end up harming the cause. “I think it really does damage the credibility of a movement with 60-year-old voters in Ohio when it’s hosting Slutcon and asking questions about sex with dead cows on its application forms,” Scott Alexander, an influential blogger, has written on X. Slutcon is a conference set up by Aella, a rationalist, sex researcher and prostitute, where participants pay up to $18,000 to attend sessions on topics including “flirting for the submissive man” and “vaginal gymnastics”.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.
