If Democrats think winning back congress this year and the presidency in 2028 is enough, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right back where we're at in 2032 with an even more fascist and white supremacist Republican party. It's not enough to win power.

for reference, in the Dobbs opinion, Alito was like, women generally don't _plan_ to get an abortion, so how could they have a reliance interest in abortion? which is kind of an extension of 'you want health insurance? what, you plan on being sick?'

Yeah I found out we disagree about values like "human rights" and "non citizens are no different than animals" so... Real productive. Sorry Mr Economist, but humans just aren't rational actors.

Why is reducing ideological bias a goal? To what end? Politics is almost always a fight over values, not facts. I don’t care if I am “biased” towards social justice, whatever that means.

An interesting test here is whether the models can construct working programs in a programming language that did not exist when their training set was gathered, so no samples can possibly have been in the training data. They can, and there are projects exploiting this, e.g., bend-lang.com

A lot of the inefficiencies in government come from efforts to make it *leaner*: micromanaging workers in the name of eliminating waste, withholding the perks and salaries that they could expect at an equivalent private sector job, etc

It's weird that Trump is speaking at 2PM until you realize that his audience is not the American people -- he doesn't give a shit about us -- his audience are cable news producers, who will now have time to propagandize up whatever shit show speech he delivers in time for the evening viewers.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

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."
