Bad takes on NBA, politics, and policy. Desperate to get away from the hellsite.

Whoever wins in Michigan a race this nasty being this close is basically the worst case scenario for party unity in a swing state and I am extremely angry at the lack of strategy shown by both candidates.

Would be nice if the Knicks realized who their best player actually is.

Food is more abundant, less expensive and a lower portion of most people's consumption baskets than it used to.

Absolutely this. My brother is a surgeon; he's used Claude to write an app for his patients. It's not a masterpiece and it won't change the economy, but it is easier for them than trying to fill in timesheets of how much exercise they are able to take. Sensible scepticism has to recognise reality.

The Jamelle Bouie pile on is truly embarrassing stuff and why no one wants to be on here.

it is extremely funny that xenophobia targeting Americans in particular makes these sweaty, desperate attempts to present itself as a type of cosmopolitanism

I think a key problem is that to most critics, it must be everything. It has to destroy the environment, eliminate every job, enable a fascist takeover, melt our brains, all while being a uninspired, unremarkable piece of boring technology that also doesn't work.

Basically every ai-liker on this website has very nuanced views and hates the standard tech bro. To critics, we are indistinguishable. I bet a poll of the top ai defenders on this website would show overwhelming support for video generation being banned.

Last night was mostly a win for the moderate Dem crowd, but it's worth noting that Jack Ciattarelli tacked hard to the center in a state Trump was within 6 points and it still didn't matter one bit. National environment dictates all.

It's worth noting Spanberger is on pace to outrun Ghazala Hashimi by 3-4 points. To the extent she is overperforming due to her specific ability to grab swing voters, that is probably closer to the margin than how she's performing compared to Harris.

Does Nate Silver of all people really not understand one of the fundamental laws of OLS? You can't regress a modeled estimate on something correlated with the things used to calculate that estimate. It's one of the cardinal sins of statistics.

I've had an HSA for 3 years now and this is going to be the first year I end up using some of it instead of hoarding for retirement. Physical therapy is not cheap! Although, it will probably help in retirement not to have a fucked up back.

FTR, my opinion on moderation is that it works fine. However, the thesis that the rightward shift of populations in the Western world is entirely because every single left wing party on Earth moved far left, and no other structural problems, is so insane in how juvenile it is.

This is a great addition to the "everyone is 12" theory. Apparently the last 12 years of politics could have been fixed with this 22 year old's one simple trick that no one has ever tried!

I find it very funny and telling that the WelcomePAC ""report"" was written by a guy who had a substack as a Yale student, got to guest write on Matty's blog and appeared on Slate's podcast in 22 because he is the son of one of the co-hosts) and then went on to work for David Shor and Future Forward

i mean, harris ran the campaign they’re advocating for. it probably etched out an extra point or two but that was never as important as the macropolitical enviroment (backlash from covid inflation) which, via association with joe biden, harris could not escape.

It’s been nearly a year since the election and people are still pretending Harris ran on trans illegal taco trucks.

Hope the shutdown doesn't last too long obviously but it's honestly been nice being productive around the house for once instead of collapsing into goo every time I'm home.

This Kawhi Clippers thing is insanely serious and I feel like people are not grasping it enough. It is an existential crisis for the league far worse than the Jontay Porter situation. Like, they HAVE to punish the Clippers, and severely, otherwise the entire CBA is rendered pointless.

Also, if you're so price sensitive then wait for a damn sale, you don't need to buy everything day 1. If you desperately want to then pay up.

Downtown Houston, the only part that feels like a real city, is half as dense as Alexandria, VA. Such a gross city.

It's really annoying how YIMBYs who praise the South/Sunbelt seem to forget that many of the blue states they claim are terrible examples of housing policy also built a shit ton of housing decades ago in the exact same suburban pattern and fucked themselves for generations.

this is basically a case where people need to learn to code, because if you do it immediately becomes obvious how useful LLMs are

TLOU2 season 2 is going to be very interesting. Season 1 played it mostly straight, but the second game is way more video gamey so I would expect more liberties taken to fit TV.
