I'm sorry but you missed the mark with this. Thiel is clearly Mister Burns just before the treatment that makes him (Burns) look like an alien.

Medieval Executions 🧵 Hi there. One of my areas of expertise is medieval crime and punishment. If you’re interested, here are some comments on medieval executions. Note that, just as today, practices and perceptions varied widely across medieval Europe... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...
For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.

It is all men. We all share and deserve the blame and label until it's no men. Because if none are stepping up as one voice to say no and none are stepping in to stop, when their friends and family even speak about assault even as "jokes" it's encouraging and enabling the behavior and complicite

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

This is always how it goes. The accused are allowed to ruthlessly and relentlessly smear the victims while engaging in a supposedly fair and just legal process that retraumatizes and creates fresh trauma for victims who are already supposed life altering, sometimes permanent consequences of rape

So if I ever speak with such gross imprecision as to say, "Men rape and men need to fix that shit" & you feel tempted to reply, "But surely not ALL men!" Please be aware that I have noted you're more worried about rhetoric than women, about internet words than gang rapes. And then think on that.

You are demanding that women watch what we say and watch what we do bc it is more important to you that when women ask for rape to end they do so in the politest way possible than it is important to you that men stop raping at the earliest date possible.

And men, yes, including men who don't rape, have spent hundreds of years creating and maintaining the social, legal, and institutional structures which limit women's lives. Men -- ALL MEN -- have to spend time dismantling it.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."
