This is a ‘good strategy’ in game theory terms if you assume Trump will punish you for not rolling over and showing deference and democrats won’t. Democrats should think about altering those incentives.

“cops should arrest ICE” is a liberal fantasy. “abolish ICE” is not.

It is remarkable how many Dems in competitive races are not doing the squishy bipartisanship tapioca routine and are instead just letting rip with these guys are a bunch of evil goddamned nazis who want to take all your rights and are also corrupt as fuck. It’s reading the room, I suppose.

The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.

One of the reasons that it’s vital blue cities unfuck their housing supply is that sanctuary cities probably aren’t viable long term politically otherwise. Need housing to be cheap/abundant if you don’t want there to be blowback from ICE/shithead county sheriffs funneling precarious people to you

I mean, it’s an incentive thing right now companies, even ones who aren’t ideologically aligned with the GOP, do believe the GOP will fuck them over for not going along and they don’t believe Dems will impose consequences for that you’ve gotta change that, executives need to think twice

this is not a problem you can fix with calm, reasoned debate. you can't even fix it by improving people's lives with policy. there is no clear, proven, non-violent solution to this issue. finding one is the most significant problem of our age.

LLMs are deeply embedded into coding, and coding is a part of modern research, including against cancer. You can just ask an llm to “find a cure for X”, but LLMs are absolutely used in drug design, drug discovery, and in analyzing data for cancer research

Tacking right on the issue is basically conceding that Republicans have a point, and leaves people with the impression that they are better on the issue. It was very foreseeable that Trump‘a policy would be very unpopular and Dems failed to capitalize on it. It really grinds my gears

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.

I love the optimism about Dems winning in November - I share it! And: I'm a tiny bit nervous that winning will free folks of the urgency to fix deeper structural problems in our party that will fuck us in the long-haul if we don't grapple with them.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

It largely is, in the sense that what we understand as classical physics is huge numbers of probabilistic events resolving, which is much more predictable in aggregate. But there’s a long tail of extremely unlikely possibilities that could have happened. Quantum tunneling is a popular example

armk27.bsky.social @armk27.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

But, the consensus (at least when I was in grad school in the late 2000s) is that einstein was wrong and god does, in fact, play dice with the universe.

220

armk27.bsky.social @armk27.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This was a big split between Einstein and the Copenhagen school. Einstein thought that nature wasn’t probabilistic and that there was something deeper underlying concept that was deterministic that we just didn’t understand yet. “God does not play dice with the universe”

armk27.bsky.social @armk27.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

It’s not just the Heisenberg principal, it’s that we know at very small sizes the universe is inherently probabilistic. You can’t have “perfect knowledge“ in the sense of knowing how every future probabilistic event will resolve. The best knowledge you could have is of all the probabilities.
