interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

I've read tons of coverage of yesterday's Supreme Court arguments in the big #climatechange case, and as best I can make out, the argument for dismissing the suit comes down to arguing that oil and gas companies are too big to be held accountable ... www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/c...

Faced with a president who has called global warming a hoax, officials have filed dozens of suits against oil companies to try to cover the costs of extreme weather.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: on the set of the Jerry Springer show, a man sits in a chair. Jerry signals off-stage and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the live studio audience is booing. Panel 3: security attempts to break up a fight between the man on stage, and his ancestor, a tiktaalik.

I think we all knew Watson’s “Rosie didn’t realize [because she was a woman and so obviously inferior to my genius]” schtick was bullshit. What’s boggling to me here is the implication that no one since ever looked at the rest of her notes. 🧪

It is rational to be fascinated by the intellectual lineage of Turing and McCarthy, Minsky, Newell and Simon, AND to say that the way it has been framed and fluffed, and marketed and misrepresented, and its current incarnation’s present and future impact is monstrous beyond imagining.

“If the dictator is GOOD then dictatorship can be better” ok pal I’m sure the guy who seizes power for himself will turn out to be real public spirited www.liberalcurrents.com/defending-de...
But democracy is not a system predicated on transcending human failings. Instead, it is predicated on several basic realities: that systems which build in collective feedback mechanisms have greater long-term stability than those which do not. That smaller groups of people are no more likely to surmount their human failings than large groups of people and are more likely to pursue their own partial interests at the expense of the public. That regular elections provide regular opportunities for mistakes to get corrected, which in an imperfect world is far preferable to having one man or one party permanently in charge and hoping you just so happen to get the correct man or party for the job.

The president of the United States says that "the New York Times, and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested" for denying that the arena in which he spoke had empty seats. It's really bad! www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
The Ohio Arena was already full to the brim — And yet these people were still trying to get in. The New York Times said, “There were empty seats” when, in fact, there were none, and thousands of people had to be turned away. The New York Times, and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country. When Bernie Sanders has 500 to 1,000 people, they make it sound like it’s the biggest event that ever took place. When PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP has 50,000 people, they make it sound like nobody showed up! President DONALD J. TRUMP
