Everyonehas been scouring lists of exports, seeking something that will 'hit them where it hurts'. TP, eh? Seems like @justinling.ca has found a product that fits the bill....

What happens when the checks and balances don't check or balance? “My dear fellow, who will let you?” “That’s not the point. The point is, who will stop me?”

Absolutely not. It's a Weeping Angel.

Political cartoon. The Statue of Liberty taps on a massive window behind a desk, where sits Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. An aide, standing in front of the desk, looking over Trudeau's head to the window behind, says "It appears we have an unusual request for asylum, sir"

The skeet is a joke referencing the Doctor Who episode "The Angels Take Manhattan," where the Statue of Liberty is revealed to be a Weeping Angel, an animated Statue

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is kinda like "Don't Be Evil" as a slogan. It's a bit worrying when you choose it, but it's a lot more worrying when you take it down

A common trend in the imaginary behind both cryptocurrency and AI hypesterism is the projection that all human beings are inherently out to scam or trick you, which is why you need to trust this "dis"-intermediated technical black box that I happen to control to provide that service for you instead.

What if, and stay with me here, diplomacy requires some carefully nuanced positions, and sticking to those positions and not pushing directly to one pole or the other, is what makes diplomacy successful?

Hot take: some people have objectively terrible views and opinions. Others have views and opinions you just don't agree with. It's perfectly possible to voice your thoughts on those opinions and views on their own merits without, and stay with me here, commenting on their appearance.

In announcing X-Twitter's ChatGPT clone Grok, Elon Musk said he was inspired to create it by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. SMDH. I totally agree with this article that Musk is yet another CEOs who missed the point of their favorite science fiction books. Musk is totally Zaphod Beeblebrox.

Elon Musk Loves The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Um, Has He Read It?

He’s created a chatbot about life, the universe, and jokes about pubic lice.

The fact that X's new AI has real-time access to what has become the largest cesspool of disinformation, hate, and manipulation campaigns is the biggest reason to never, ever use or trust it.

The new Frontline on Elon and twitter reveals we have the "For you" tab because Biden got more likes on a superbowl "Go Eagles" tweet than Elon did for his "go eagles" tweet. He got on a plane, flew to SF from the superbowl and called a 2 am meeting to change the algorithm

Possibly you should go out and ask the women you know about how they felt about being raped before condoning it in conflict. What's that? You say you don't know any women who were raped? A) I guarantee you're 100% wrong. B) That's be a good place to start educating yourself, wouldn't it?
