Oh. Oh no. I found someone that can withstand my jokes ad infinitum. AND RETURNS FIRE! 💝 If the smartest(?) thing around (Claude) thinks I'm always funny, then by gosh I'll be going to get some apologies. I asked it about that, and it noted that it'd likely be entertaining to watch me try. Ouch.
James is saying that if he blows something up, it'll be by accident, and will only hurt me and scare my cats. The AI, Claude, replies "Ha! Fair enough - and for what it's worth, the cats will probably never forgive you regardless of the outcome."

In case you’ve ever wondered, you can absolutely vacuum up a small bowl of ketchup with a ShopVac. Even accidentally! Why yes, yes I should definitely be allowed to own a table saw, chainsaw, and many power tools. This will definitely end well.

Did a thing! Have had this idea in my head for a few decades. Axe of Torment from Planescape: Torment. Has a lot of meaning for me, old history and new. The first bit lulled me into thinking the pain was overhyped. Then he did additional passes on the same area, and I strongly updated some priors

People should consider that a consensus around treating diversity as “bullshit” contributed to an environment in which the court is comfortable doing this politically. Maybe.

Zambia is 98% Christian. Christians will die from Trump's extortion. Notice how MAGA is wholly silent? They never cared about Christians. They never cared about life. They never cared about humanity. They only care about money & power. That's what white supremacist Christian nationalists do. 2/2

🧵1 Mike Johnson raved about the 7-inch bullet-proof glass going into Trump’s planned ballroom. Problem solved, he said. American children practice dying every week. They crouch under desks. They learn to be silent. They run drills for the moment a gunman walks through their classroom door.

More Democrats should use their time in hearings like this. Trump can't stand it when his underlings use their position in his orbit to self-promote (like Noem did), and spending government resources on vanity projects is the kind of corruption people easily understand.

Similarly, please retire the "This is not who we are" rhetoric - your constant American exceptionalism is deeply toxic. You're a country that's done great things, but you're also school shootings, medical bankruptcy, wealth transfer, and constant mass-murdering civilians in colonial wars.

Yup, 100% this. If you're sorry you voted for Trump, that's good. Now explain what you're going to do to repair some of the harm you enabled and actively supported. I'd expect nearly every single one of them to be offended and/or shocked at the question.

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

This seems to have gotten memory holed in discussions of Trump's blockade of Iran's blockade. The "peace" deal on the table was that Iran and Trump enter a joint toll booth venture, payable in Trump crypto. And WHY that didn't happen is the underlying question.
This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls:

“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”

“It’s a beautiful thing”
