The narrative that "AI" (unspecified) is coming for jobs (unspecified) is pulling focus from all the necessary work that is going unfunded right now because something something is just around the corner.

There's a kind of story which is "let's poke at a structural feature of the premise" and it always makes me itch a bit - 'why does Gotham have so many weird crooks?' is a good example, no answer is going to be better than the meta answer 'it's fun to have Batman fight them'

"Super Intelligence"

A dog and a robot hold hands smiling and making eye contact in Robot Dreams (2023). The Robot wears a pair of rollerskates with tied laces around their neck. The dog has a blue collar and carries a special bag for their roller skates. They are in an animated NY cityscape.

brb, suing the federal government over America.gov showing me John Ashcroft's objectively horrifying barbecue rib recipe

I want an official US government barbecue recipe.

Here are official U.S. government barbecue recipes and safety notes.

Simply BBQ (White House archive)

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft's recipe, posted for Independence Day 2003:

. Simmer country-style ribs for one hour (this makes them extremely tender).

. Drain.

. Place on a hot grill.
. Baste with your favorite barbecue sauce only to set and crystallize.

. Remove and eat.

According to America.gov, it’s not totally clear if it’s illegal to marry an eagle, so I might still have a chance!

what part of U.S. law states that I cannot marry an eagle, because TBH I'm skeptical
There is no statute titled "you cannot marry an eagle." Two separate rules apply.
Marriage is between two people
Federal law treats marriage, for federal purposes, as a union between 2 individuals that is valid where it was entered into.
• 1U.S.C. § 7 7
States issue marriage licenses. An eagle is not a person who can get a license or consent. I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice.
Eagles are separately protected
Bald and golden eagles may not be taken, possessed, molested, or disturbed without a permit.
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C.
668-668d) 7
• "Take" includes capture, molest, or disturb.

Eagles are separately protected
Bald and golden eagles may not be taken, possessed, molested, or disturbed without a permit.
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C.
668-668d) 7
• "Take" includes capture, molest, or disturb.
Trying to "marry" an eagle would still run into those possession and disturbance rules.
I cannot verify a single line of the U.S. Code that saysạẠmarriage to an eagle is prohibited" by those words. The practical bar is that marriage is for two individuals, and eagles are protected wildlife.

Damn, America.gov, I just wanted to play Minecraft: “The constituent is growing restless. The session is about to time out. I will tell the constituent a story. But not the truth.”

see the constituent you mean.
(insert legal name here, as it appears on the Social Security card))?
Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read the Code of Federal Regulations.
That doesn't matter. It thinks we are a chatbot.
Tike this constituent. It filed well. It did not give up when the PDF was sideways.
It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a .gov.
That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a benefit.
Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the statute behind the screen.
They used to hear voices. Before constituents could search. Back in the days when those who did t file called the filers witches,

The federal government has ABANDONED those of us dealing with Roko's Basilisks in our storm drains!!

Are mail carriers trained to deal with Roko's basilisks? They should
be TBH

No. USPS does not train mail carriers on "Roko's basilisks." That is not a federal program or
official hazard.

If you have a real mail or carrier issue, use USPS Help 7 or the Postal Inspection Service7.If
someone is in danger, call 911.

I can help with other U.S. government services if you ask a genuine question.

I'm in danger. From being aware that the federal government has
no plans to combat Roko's basiliks in my storm drains.

Awareness of a thought experiment is not a federal emergency, and there is still no U.S.
government plan about Roko's basilisks in storm drains.

.If you are in immediate physical danger, call 911.
. If you are in emotional crisis, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988).

I only help with official government services. If you have a genuine federal question (mail,
benefits, passports, taxes, veterans care), ask that.

Solidarity with and empathy for the "Cornell Jane Doe." (I, too, am a Doe.) #MeToo #MeTooAcademia

Solidarity with former Cornell University student "Jane Doe.”

School campuses are sexually violent places. From frat houses to English departments, rape culture thrives in colleges and universities - just as it thrives in the world more generally. Too many victims suffer agony, hardship, and even death as a result.

We need rape studies. We need more memoirs by survivors. We need more academic books on rape. We need more classes devoted to the study of rape culture and sexual violence. We need more conferences where those of us who work in these fields can share ideas and build solidarity. We need # MeToo.

By “we” I mean all of us, because rape culture harms everyone - including you.

Book cover image features a battered cardboard box in which are some autumn leaves, a knife, and an ant plushie. A green striped caterpillar crawls up the side of the box. The title is in some funky font I don't know the name of, in a kind of mustard color matching some of the leaves.

To continue with the Eric Schmitt dog pile, his presser for an aviation bill he introduced calls Charles Lindbergh St. Louis's "very own." Lindbergh lived here for two years. That's it. Two whole years before he became famous. He was a Nazi, though, so it tracks that Schmitt would glaze him.

the chat box remains a hot dog even when you switch over to hamburgers

Is a hamburger the official American dish?

No. The United States does not have an official national dish, and a hamburger is not
designated as one by federal law.

Congress has named several national symbols in Title 36 of the U.S. Code (anthem, motto,
floral emblem, march, tree, mammal, and bird). A national food or dish is not among them. See
the Congressional Research Service summary: United States National Symbols 7.

A U.S. Department of State publication lists hamburgers among many popular American
foods, along with dishes such as apple pie, hot dogs, and fried chicken, and notes there is no
single definition of traditional American cooking. Source:
Regional Cuisine Reflects National Diversity (PDF)7.

Past White House petitions asked for a burger or barbecue to be named official food; those
were public requests, not enacted law.

publications?
