Vulgar Rawlsianism? Oh you mean Marxism.

A Soviet style propaganda posters showing Rawls as the culmination of the Soviet system

I think an alternate, equally slimy but less concerning to privacy scenario, is that OpenAI got wind of the proof and the approach and threw infinite tokens at Astra or other internal model asking it to solve it first.

I am choosing to believe this site is having reliability problems right now because Minnesotans posting about the State Fair are crashing it and you cannot tell me otherwise

These ratio outcome variables are a plague in the sciences. If your analysis treats 1/2 and 10/20 as the same evidence, then you have discarded uncertainty in the outcome. Model what you measure, not what you construct. Use the denominator as an exposure instead.

What's wild about all these pictures and videos is that I've been to the National Mall on sweltering weekdays in the summer and it's always busy. Tons of families and tour groups. People must be actively avoiding this.

I've seen this dozens of times, but love it every time. Especially the camera work where they keep the view of the baker's dozen goalies out of frame until they get into the box is incredible.

Visceral memories of this album. I had saved it for a few days when I knew I had a drive to listen to it all through. Just stunning. The whole catalog is amazing and this was a crowning achievement. Though of course I wish it wasn't.

Seeing that another Republican went on a big show and claimed that Minneapolis is burning, and I just desperately want everyone to treat these lies with the instant alarm and disdain you'd offer if they said, "The moon is made of cheese and I'm building my own rocket to eat some."

Right, a single video of a single protester frustratedly kicking an inanimate object was sufficient to muddy the narrative some. Imagine what would happen if protesters adopted violence more broadly? Would it benefit us? It’s the incredible restraint of our heroic observers that helps us win.

If I had to call my shot here, Klobuchar wins governor, Peggy Flanagan wins the primary and general for Tina Smith's seat, and Gov Klobuchar appoints Angie Craig to her former seat.

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.

Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.
