1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

I’m sorry but “why is a lit review needed?” is a where the for-profit motive of trade book publishing meets the anti-humanist capitalist slop of the robots. Scholars do their work. The rest are charlatans.

Intelligent
2 Blue Jays conversing in a spruce. First Jay asks "What if we aren't the only intelligent species in the universe? What would they be like?" The second replies "Let's see... they'd need to be good at problem solving, and to have advanced communication skills, a social structure, self-awareness..." "... the ability to fly?" continues the first Jay. "That goes without saying!" exclaims the second. The first states confidently "And a strong beak, of course". To which the second responds rhetorically "How could you do anything intelligent without a strong beak?"

Finished is better than terrible #oldknees
A crow kicks a small ball of snow. They then start rolling it into a larger ball while saying "trust the process...". They kick more snow into a pile and stick a branch in repeating "trust the process" to itself. They place small stones. They say "Phew!" and stand back to look at its creation, which we see now is a mess of a project that looks somewhat like a melted bird. The final panel the crow says "haha it's terrible".

As if concerned some reader-in-the-know might mistake his op-ed for error, rather than fraud upon a reading public, here Vermeule is to be seen conspicuously capering & clicking his heels, in evident mischievous self-delight at such achievement of sheer sophistry. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/o...
"“The basic theory of departmentalism is that while the Supreme Court has the authority to exercise its Article III ‘judicial Power’ in cases or controversies before it,” Mr. Goldsmith wrote, “the President’s Article II duty to ‘take care that the law be faithfully executed’ gives him an independent power to determine what ‘the law,’ including the Constitution, means, for purposes of exercising executive power.”

Alexander Hamilton, writing in the Federalist Papers, described that possibility as one of the main checks on the judiciary created by the constitutional system of divided powers.

The general merits of departmentalism are much debated. It is strong medicine that risks doing more harm than good overall, and that by its nature requires controversial judgments by the executive."

One of the funniest things I've read in an early Gothic novel. Our henchman has found the persecuted orphan he's been sent to pursue. He stops to write a multi-page epic account of his discovery to his master. Meanwhile, she escapes. An early example of the villain monologue gone tits up.
