Among the elite media, there is a consensus that Trump is committing illegal extrajudicial murders of random Latin American guys in boats all the time, but if you say he might have also committed an extrajudicial murder of Jeffrey Epstein, the idea is treated like saying he rode a unicorn.

I'm so sorry to hear about RJ Mitte, such a lively and forceful presence in a role that devolved into "the annoying teenager" on so many other shows.

there is and always has been a huge market for "comedy" that is just a guy standing on stage saying bigoted stuff about minority groups. It's honestly just a different thing with different goals than other forms of comedy.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Liberals spend forever wondering if these people believe what they are saying and it doesn’t matter. Their audiences 10000% believe it and they vote accordingly.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times. Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them. He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

agg23 commented yesterday
If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.
