Trenchant observation. I think it's accurate. They see us as NPCs. It shocks them that we have, you know, agency.

In closing, I just want to say, all those reps who are braying about 25A are fucking cowards. They aren't calling for 25A because it is the right tool for the job. They are doing it because they are afraid of doing their job, taking a stand, and fighting back.

The thing that suits the current moment is impeachment. And I know you think it won't work, but my siblings in Christ, it has a 1,000% better chance of actually removing DJT from office than 25A. Moreover, the mechanics of that process, investigation, referral, trial, can be public

I love finally dragging myself online after an exhausting week of teaching & existing to find out my country has decided to start another war. Turns out my naive belief at twelve years old was actually correct: patriotism is dumb and countries are like high schools if the sports teams did murders.

She's talking about law, but it applies to AI in general. Academic research, tech writing, medical analysis, you name it. When the bubble bursts, it's going to be a huge honking mess. Think Hindenburg.

Hey! Guys, I write a series on Reactormag called SFF Bestiary. Have you written a book, sff or f, that features aliens based on earth animals? We're on cats now. Would love some new reads. Can't promise to feature them all, but let us know about your book. Every little bit helps.

This thread. BINGO. Some of this rises from generations of weak to nonexistent opposition. They are honestly shocked that the usual bullying isn't getting the usual cringe-and-submit.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

ICE is escalating in Tucson today, five days before the start of our huge (largest in the world) Gem and Mineral Show. I wonder how many vendors and buyers will stay away. And how many will come and be detained or disappeared. Nobody should come to the US now. Nobody. Just don't.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

I am so sick and tired of their endless mealymouthing and ducking-and-covering and fucking "bipartisanship" with a party that cuts them out of everygoddamnedthing. It's long past weakness and well into complicity.

Okay, tonight's inventory selection. Today's feature is a solid sterling silver cuff [shown below], no stone, but ajouré cutwork. We have aother cuff, featured recently, that is similar in size a spirit, but with a focal cabochon that's timeless, too.

David Brooks compared the competing interpretations of videos of Renee Good's murder to fans of Princeton & Dartmouth's football teams. "He supports nothing more than a status quo that leaves centrists like him as the referees in an Ivy league power game that most people will never participate in."

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality. I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

So there's my helpful tip if you get stuck on a customer service call with an "AI": threaten to record the call. Or actually record the call. You'll immediately be transfered to a human being. Who also will refuse to admit they're using "AI."

Nationalism of any sort relies on falsehood. The US has a particularly elaborate cinematic universe, and a particularly counterfactual angle on it. See also: Organized Religion. Reminds me of the Time article years ago that declared we are genetically programmed to perceive the unreal as real.

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.
