A lot of the long-term Trump lawn signs around here mysteriously disappeared around when the Iran war started because I don't think they felt like being the visible reason when diesel hit $7 a gallon. Nature is taking its course!

I'm certain it's necessary to engage the dwindling set of nice polite conservatives in certain professions. Outside the specific confines of something like an econ department it's not very useful. I have lots of conservative coworkers. We *do not* talk politics & it would go poorly if we did.

I am tired of hearing Republicans brutally misrepresented by unflattering & biased slogans like "Mass Deportation Now" & "Lock Her Up". If you actually talk to them you can learn useful new things like "germs aren't real" & "black people would do the same things to us if they could"

The electoral college is anti-Democratic by design. It’s not the fault of people—who live in states like California— who recognize that for refusing to participate when there’s zero actual risk of the GOP pulling off the upset there.

The discourse around Tom Morello, a California voter, leaving President blank in 2024 is wild. There’s a massive freakout yesterday accusing him of supporting Trump, while at the exact same time he’s hosting an explicitly anti-Trump music fest with Jack Smith & the Bullwark lady in the crowd. Lol.

After a years long search for a copy, Mad Angler Press would like to formally introduce a 4K/HD scan of GUNSIGHT Phase 0, a text that is a cornerstone as to how we understand Mobile Suit Gundam's lore today. To view the text, please visit below:

The front cover of GUNSIGHT - Phase 0, illustrated by a young Haruhiko Mikimoto, in 1979. Gunsight served as the bedrock for understanding lore about 0079's universe and Mobile Suit Gundam and was released during Comiket 13. The text served as the basis for canonizing said lore for Gundam Century, was read actively by Studio II and Sunrise staff, praised by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, and has become indefinitely rare to acquire.

Scanned and uploaded for the first time in history by Mad Angler Press and Chris de la Bigne, for insight into your future.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

The second paragraph is incoherent but so is the first. Young people saying they are focused on making money rather than starting a family is not an example of them casting aside religious values or secular ethics. His mind is dull and his writing is sloppy in both the original and modern sense.

The purported logic of this statement is truly baffling. Powell, who has protected the Fed independence's from President Trump's political pressure, should demonstrate the Fed's independence by resigning in response to President Trump's political pressure? What?

President Donald Trump’s chief economic adviser called on former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to leave the central bank’s board after an internal report cited management failures in the renovation of its headquarters.

“I think that it’s time for him to move on and to respect the independence of the Fed,” Kevin Hassett, head of the National Economic Council at the White House, said on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures when asked whether Powell should resign.

Executing a denial of service attack on an oppressive surveillance state carries extreme risk. Legal, pro-social technology must meet extreme reliability requirements that never bind the powerful. Democracy requires rigor while autocracy need only destroy belief that a shared reality is possible.

This provides no value to ordinary people, but it gives a quantitative fig leaf to enforce and amplify a social hierarchy. Closing an "AI divide" by increased adoption in Africa means what? Replacing this old-fashioned discriminatory algorithm with a chatbot? This is not a technical problem.

A product like this has no pro-social function, and it doesn't need to be reliable. The existence of the tech creates plausible deniability to violate rights even when there is extensive evidence that it is wrong. This is the system working as intended.

Part of that is that the reliability standards are radically different. Facial recognition/predictive policing systems, insurance denial platforms, public comment "summarization", and government report fabrication does not need to be reliable. The burdens of proof are all in the wrong places.

This is a useful thread. I want to examine "AI tools are power". The UN Scientific Panel report used this framing to promote the concept of a "digital divide", but that presumes that the power is neutral. I argue that it is fundamentally asymmetric, more a tool of empire, oligarchy, and scammers.

Worth emphasizing that there are several layers of nuts here. If Smith had gone to an NBA game in Atlanta, that wouldn’t indicate he’d met with Willis. (Why would anyone go to the trouble, rather than just having a phone call?) And if he had met with Willis… that wouldn’t be any sort of scandal.
