Let's face it, the Bills are the only real New York State NFL team. (The other two should just accept they are New Jersey teams for the next 84 years).

Cork City Council just voted to increase LPT by 15%. They wanted 20% because our financial needs are great. But not so great that they collect all the Derelict Property Tax... sure lookit and fukkit ... what's a million and a half quid a year left uncollected between friends? #SpéirGhorm #Cork

The UK cannot leave and then expect to rejoin again on the same terms they had before. As long as Cyprus and Ireland are non-Schengen, the UK can conceivably keep that too but single currency will be a much more difficult discussion.

It's not mind boggling. Anybody who is not white-passing and/or English-mother tongue is it risk of extrajudicial detention. No surprise some people won't add that possibility to a vacation. And everyone else wants to avoid MAGAts and not be seen to be supporting or turning a blind eye to Trump.

The death penalty, even if painlessly implemented, is nothing but barbarism. It is a stain on every nation that uses it. Revenge and retribution are never justice.

String agree from me. it is absolutely a values difference. I think use LLMs/genAI is deeply unethical, for a variety of reasons (resource use, environmental impact, training data, privacy/data security). I have never used it and until those issues are resolved (they never will be) I never will.

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution

SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

Similar to guys who carry guns around in case they need to "defend their family" but refuse to wash the dishes or do the laundry - they're comfortable operating in those hypotheticals because they'll never actually do it.

I do not care how much you hate Trump or Putin or anyone else, or how great your think you blog post or substack is that it needs a slop image. There is NO ethical use of AI images. Stop it, please, and stop reposting things that use them.

I know it's been said a million times before, but it's worth a reminder: this kind of thing is marketing. This guy sells AI courses. "You hate me for being right about how much you all will love this" gets attention from haters and is a lightning rod for potential customers. It's a gimmick

@nicksaraev: "Yes, this probably hurts your feelings. It's still going to happen."

If more cities start regulating outdoor lighting, we humans could make the environment better for all living creatures

"He pushes so hard I wonder if he’s getting a kickback from Big Biomed." Ah, the old "biomed shill gambit". Just like the "pharma shill gambit", it's an old favorite used by deniers and quacks and conspiracy loons, but you immediately destroy your argument and any respect.
