keithzg @keithzg.ca · 02/10/2026Few things light as helpful of a fire! As a kid I remember always complaining that we were kinda putting on a fake front by thoroughly cleaning and tidying when guests were coming over, not appreciating how my mom was using the opportunities sagely. 110
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 02/10/2026Anyways this is all just spiraling out of a reply to a weird assertion that somehow Ralph Nader is singularly responsible for the current Supreme Court, with no blame falling on any Democrat; Joe Biden was a mere single counterexample. 000
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 02/10/2026(I wasn't bothering to mention that that's Yesterday's Man because I figured finding out what book a direct quote is from while talking on the internet has been trivial since, oh, 2010 or so? & then accessing its bibliography is not necessarily so yet the ultimate sourcing is more important anyways) 100
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 02/10/2026* Sent the FBI rather than Senate investigators, which spooked Hill * Delayed releasing the report of that investigation until the day of the vote etc etc etc, including the attached excerpt from the same tidy book I often turn to for convenience. 100
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 02/10/2026That was *one* of the many thumbs he put on the scale. Others include: * Voting for Thomas' DC circuit appointment in 1990 * Publicly decried concerns over Thomas' stance on abortion * Learned of Anita Hill's allegations 2 days into the Scotus hearings and informed zero other senators 100
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 02/10/2026That was ultimately sourced from: Katharine T. Bartlett, “I Support Anita Hill, and Joe Biden, Too,” NYT; Mary McGrory, “Democrats Dithered while GOP Stung,” St. Louis Post-Dispatch, October 17, 1991; Frantz and Fulwood, “Deal to Keep Thomas Accuser”; Mayer and Abramson, Strange Justice, 295. 100

keithzg @keithzg.ca · 01/10/2026"When one senator asked Hill if she and Thomas had disagreed on abortion and Roe v. Wade, a question that could have embroiled Thomas in perjury given his testimony that he’d never discussed the case, Biden interrupted to rule the question out of bounds." 310
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 01/10/2026No joke, it's sad that even homeless eccentrics have gotten hooked on AI. Wonderful weirdos who might've found themselves compelled to scavenge banners and paint wild murals on them, instead just falling into a hole where their fleeting paranoias are being confirmed and elaborated upon by a chatbot. 120
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 01/10/2026I do think it would be insanely funny for him to run for Prez, and I wanna see it happen, but only in an election where Don Jr is also running, because that they share an ex is the kind of thing future historians will assume is a conflation because it's so 👌 010

keithzg @keithzg.ca · 01/10/2026How was Kavanaugh Nader's fault? Anyways I'll respond substantively to you further once you admit the complicity of, or at least mgivr your excuse for, the Dem side in 2000 even just in terms of allowing Thomas onto the court that then threw it for Bush. Until then, I'll only reply "lol, centrist". 100
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 01/10/2026He's the guy who was on the court then and still on it now, connect at least *one* dot, yeesh 210
Reposted by keithzgFlazlo @fleezlow.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think the thing you can take away from the 2000 election is that the Democrats have never fought for their constiuents or even themselves, and you can trace their cowardice in the current moment back to that election and beyond. 3302
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 30/09/2026So you're naturally mad most at Joe Biden, the guy most responsible for Thomas being on the court, right? 360

keithzg @keithzg.ca · 18/09/2026Folks embedded deep into establishment structures love to peddle the idea that voters are on a linear one-dimensional continuum of ideology that main political parties also map onto, but in reality even the top 1% most ideologically consistent voters are bundles of contradictory grievances and hopes 030

keithzg @keithzg.ca · 12/09/2026Having networked omniboxes as many folks' work tools, with endless other pursuits split-seconds away at all times, certainly can't help!

keithzg @keithzg.ca · 12/09/2026It is both more and much less—it has more visual spectacle but it's in service of a nicher set of themes and even more just about vibes and not grounded in a linear narrative. 120
keithzg @keithzg.ca · 11/09/2026This is absolutely the effect they have on my girlfriend, who years ago stopped taking any ADHD meds for this very reason.

Reposted by keithzgLouis Patterson @theboatend.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I mean nothing *can* change? an LLM remains a syntax engine incapable of engaging with communicative intent [pragmatics] or mapping between words and things [semantics]. If you have a syntax problem that's fine but the only people who do are "people using a programming language they are bad at". 166
