And pretty much everyone adjacent to or involved in this is now worse off for it. Oh, and this is also Tennessee's second botched execution this year, by the way. So there's that, too.

If you'll permit me to climb on one of my hobbyhorses for a moment, this sort of incredibly delay is both unconscionable and incredibly normalized in Canada. The US can run a presidential tariff announcement up to and through the supreme court in a year. Takes us that long for an initial decision
[114]     In May 2022, when DULF had not heard back from Health Canada for 245 days during which 1,333 British Columbians had died due to toxic drug overdoses, Dr. Lysyshyn wrote another letter essentially mirroring his first but adding information to emphasize the magnitude of the crisis:

FWIW the third book is the primary offender here, not the first two You really can't win with this stuff though, if you do an actual honest deconstruction people will start railing at you for not respecting the genre conventions and such

What, you expected an 88 year old novelist and critic to be open-minded about your stead diet of werewolf smut? You thought she might consider it high-brow art like you want her to? C’mon.

At some point a people On Here adopted the position native to the post-CRM right that you could say astoundingly bigoted shit but as long as it didn’t have a Forbidden Word Of Power attached to it it was not only not bigotry but anyone cottoning on and condemning your bigotry was the REAL bigot

Look, I don't often go to bat for the depression as ideology contingent around here, but I think you can pretty persuasively point to both to low-end outcomes on climate change and the collapse of the international order as including possible 'Maybe they DON'T just muddle through, actually' outcomes

I realized some of you might not be aware it is possible to preorder a plush King County Metro style bus Don't worry I am here to help merch.fixthel8.com/us/all-products/plush-bus
Photo from the website that has a cute plush "eight" bus with eyes and everything, KC Metro stile with green and yellow, lovingly placed on a sidewalk curb in front of an actual 8 bus. It is the most adorable thing you've ever seen and you definitely need to buy one

The titles of Japanese manga have literally doubled in length since 2011, according to study
Japanese e-book distributor and publisher BookLive recently conducted a manga analysis based on title and purchase data (source: GameBiz). The study examined how the titles of manga have changed in content and length over the years, as well as purchasing behavior, the diversification of reading habits, and the relationship between these three variables. It was discovered that manga titles now are roughly two times longer than they were 15 years ago. Not only did the average number of Japanese characters in the title of a manga’s first volume jump from 9.14 in 2011 to 18.45 in 2026, but the median also increased from 8 to 16 characters in the same […]

This is the heart of the problem; structuring voting control in a way that constricts the market's control over a private company is, fundamentally, not capitalist. You don't get to tell me the socialists are dangerous while refusing to subject yourself to private markets.

No this is stupid. "Frontier" was specifically used colonially because it defined indigenous people as outside the bounds of civilization. Unless "frontier AI" is excluding some set of AI, it's not colonialist.

what you should learn from Schmitt is that you should put Schmitt against the wall before he ever gets any power because that is what he will do to you first. his argument is "that's hypocritical" and the counterargument is "you are dead."

is there some inherent connection between using a mangled form of Bayesianism to run your life and reinforcement learning? no, not really. is there actual procedural knowledge tangled up with rationalist ideas? yes, in exactly the same sense that medieval herbology identified actual remedies.

I've seen much more of this flying around lately than I'd like to, and while I am glad we're moving away from 'neuroatypicality is a blank cheque to do whatever you want', it would be nice if people stopped pulling on that thread so hard the entire concept falls apart.

if you want to fix injustices then you actually need to stare them in the fucking face, and that means all too often staring REAL MATERIAL IMPACTS AND DIFFERENCES in the face instead of sticking your head in the sand and pretending everything's therefore fine

which is where i will claim my little piece of prescience: woke 2 is woke 1 with an honest relation to power. if the dyke bar doesn't make a profit the dyke bar's going to close. if the standardized test reveals racial disparities, that's a problem with the system, not the test.

Basically explicit these days that the job of a pollster is to guess at the composition of the electorate and I don't think it's well enough appreciated that this is just not a scientific enterprise in the way that "call people and ask them what they think" was

companies should broadly aim to tolerate and even promote the maximum amount of non-harmful, non-antisocial variance in their employees, and this is the principle underlying DEI, which is still an extremely powerful force for corporate success and profits

Ottawa has warned the Quebec government against the possibility of US interference in the current election campaign, which is aimed at favouring the election of a sovereignist government.

At the beginning of September, a senior official in the Fréchette government received a call from a counterpart in the Mark Carney government, we have learned.

He was offered the option of going to a "neutral location, where there were no cameras", and was forbidden from bringing his cell phone.

Chronic illness spaces online have always been a toxic soup of quackery driven by desperation (which is why I avoid everything online that's not allergy and asthma-related), but covid conscious twitter has taken that to completely unhinged levels that aren't healthy for anybody in those spaces.
