If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom: “God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53

I hate that kind of thing! It happens to me fairly often: "oh, you're so good at doing that, what is your strategy/technique/workflow?" "Well, I do things this way." "Hmmm... I probably wouldn't do it that way." Then why'd you ask?

It's because he's too cowardly to give a multiple hour speech in the cold. William Henry Harrison was a much better president.

One of the most blatant forms of Christian hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all the ordinary people we share this country with accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.

IIRC, coal plants produce more radioactive waste than nuclear fission plants per joule. And the radioactive components of coal plant waste are just dispersed into the environment, not contained at all, therefore much more difficult to manage than actual nuclear waste.

Zach, would you have any interest in giving a guest sermon at a church in Waco? This is not an invitation, because I don't have that authority. Just inquiring about whether you'd be interested.

Trump’s “vetting” method of picking people he sees on Fox News is alarming. A foreign adversary (e.g., Russia or China) could send intelligence agents to infiltrate Fox. Within a few months, those agents may be appointed to senior government positions. This can be a national security concern.

Have you tried doing your own lactofermentation? It's remarkably easy, involves lots of brine, and makes incredibly delicious pickles. My favorite thing to lactoferment so far is okra. Amazingly good.

After further interrogations and suggestions (thank you for the thoughts everyone!)… In the spirit of the Turing Test, I propose the Cripslock Test: No system can be called AGI if that system cannot reliably determine whether or not it is spewing absolute bullshit. (Named for Sacharissa Cripslock)
