I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by LLM madness, mindless hysterical sloppers, dragging themselves through enshittified apps at dawn looking for an "efficiency" fix, vapid-headed techbros burning down the ancient heavenly connection to the cognitive skills they outsourced

The Wall Street Journal embarrasses itself with ledes like this: "Elon Musk’s SpaceX has agreed to invest $2 billion in his artificial-intelligence company xAI..." Musk controls both companies. He agreed with himself. It's self-dealing and it's sleazy. Do better, WSJ, please...
WSJ story lede: "Elon Musk’s SpaceX has agreed to invest $2 billion in his artificial-intelligence company xAI, investors close to the companies said, nearly half of the Grok chatbot maker’s recent equity raise."

How corrupt is the Roberts court? It is inconceivable that the spate of more-power-for-Trump decisions from the Roberts court would have gone the same way if Harris was president. We all know what's going on. The extreme right owns the government. It is dismantling democracy and the rule of law.

I don't know whether the Trump-Musk feud is real or just an elaborate con. What is clear is that both of them are sociopaths who lie relentlessly, have total contempt for laws they find inconvenient, and view the rest of us with pure contempt. If they harm each other, that's a win for humanity.

Trump, DECEMBER 28, 2024: "I have always been in favor of the visas... I’ve been a believer in H-1B... It’s a great program" Trump, MARCH 15, 2016: "I know the H1B very well... We shouldn’t have it. Very, very bad for workers... it’s unfair for our workers. And we should end it."
TRUMP: I will. First of all, I think and I know the H1B very well. And it’s something that I frankly use and I shouldn’t be allowed to use it. We shouldn’t have it. Very, very bad for workers. And second of all, I think it’s very important to say, well, I’m a businessman and I have to do what I have to do.

When it’s sitting there waiting for you, but it’s very bad. It’s very bad for business in terms of - and it’s very bad for our workers and it’s unfair for our workers. And we should end it. Very importantly, the Disney workers endorsed me, as you probably read.

And I got a full endorsement because they are the ones that said, and they had a news conference, and they said, he’s the only one that’s going to be able to fix it. Because it is a mess. I think for a period of a year to two years we have to look back and we have to see, just to answer the second part of your question, where we are, where we stand, what’s going on.

BIG NEWS: A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans. And get this: The judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired. We explained this lawsuit here:

Conservatives amended state constitutions to affirm broad rights for people to choose their health care. Now abortion rights proponents are taking them at their word.
