When all these tradwife influencers start pivoting away from their alt-right branding in the next few years, never forget they were on this fascist bandwagon to line their pockets at the expense of every other woman in this country.

Also, big shout out to the Trump Supreme Court for overturning that silly bump stock ban. If some right wing gun nut wants to lock himself in an hotel room and massacre dozens whilst maiming several hundred innocent bystanders what business is it of the government’s?

The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

Wilber was finally able to undergo surgery on Thursday—11 days after he was shot. “When ICE can shoot a man in the back and then barely give him any medical treatment and let him suffer, there’s a reason for that because we have gotten to a point where we see people as less than human.”

From my introduction to the event, summarizing what I learned from this essential book:
I had always believed that the purpose of the Court was to protect the minority against the whims of the majority, And over history, the Justices themselves have wholeheartedly agreed. But which minority? Protecting them from what? And when you think about it, since no population ever has agreed unanimously on everything, the quote "tyranny of the majority," is just a slur for democracy. The people vote on an issue or on candidates, the majority wins, and makes laws. And if laws — made and enacted by a process the Constitution was written to create — can be overturned by just five unelected and unaccountable people, then that is no democracy.

the crazy part is that if you build strong safety cultures rooted in anticipating and avoiding real-time, real-world harms, you don't often find yourself blindsided by unanticipated X risks... this isn't a zero sum choice, and safety culture hasn't emerged randomly or by accident

when emerging technologies are guided by long-termist utilitarianism, the public gets the deaths and doesn't get the benefits, while the Musks and Kalanicks get vast wealth... the current LLM/AI space is different in many ways, but utilitarian arguments should still be a massive, screaming red flag
