The Superman movie isn’t woke; it’s a Superman movie. A woke Superman movie would be a Lois Lane movie, and a whole lot more like All the President’s Men. Whole thing would take place in and around the Planet bullpen.

The bots— have they not figured out how to properly use an interrobang‽ Like you’d think since they’re not limited to qwerty keyboards they’d make better use of that one. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an LLM use one.

Me and Andrew Hall are back in the Naked Diner this week with University of Illinois Chicago History Chair Kevin M. Schultz to talk about his new book and the history of American Liberalism. I particularly enjoyed Professor Schultz’s extended Spiro Agnew rant. youtu.be/Rtn7cwQSq4c?...

Y’know what we had last time we did this big Middle East war stuff? Chronological timelines. That whole ceasefire fiasco would’ve been a lot more straightforward if everyone just still had chronological timelines.

The thing about dungeon masters is they will absolutely do things like spend 3 days creating all the stats for a pack of winged attack boars just so their villain npc can have the chance to say “ham hawks, attack!”

I think a problem with the messaging on the left is all these cries for unity. That’s not how “the left” works. The left does not need to “unify” in some high minded moral sense of perfect equity. It needs to unify like a pack of kobolds trying to take down a Minotaur.

So I’m thinking about what malicious compliance looks like and it’d be cool he had to physically sign his name to any check larger than $1000 dollars from the TGA. He’d be signing all day every day until his tiny little hand falls off.
