I think it would be very funny to purchase the location data associated with the phone number and find out where birthday cake boy goes that he might be embarrassed about.

Dawgs, it’s not a good sign when you get foreigners to try to run your campaign instead of locals. Would you take Canadian political advisors parachuting into Oregon seriously? No, that’s a massive sign of weakness.

It’s weird that people talk about Biden’s ideas failed, while also lionizing Lina Khan. Like her or not, her whole schtick was that US anti trust policy should increase prices more. Like you can agree/disagree with that claim, but that was her raison d’etre

Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights
After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

So I got new prescription safety glasses, and I love these things. It is not possible to understate how nerd I look in these things. Also, they have transition lenses. They don’t work the best as in it still takes a lot of time for them to adjust but like for the price phenomenal.

TBH if dems run the board this November, which is seems to be likely, and the president continues his decline we get into the weird areas of politics when we are talking about less then 600 people being involved across house senate and the admin, that make outcomes hard to forecast.

Quoting this line with the slur removed is journalistic malpractice. It fundamentally changes the meaning of the quote, which is to degrade and humiliate loyal and fit members of the Mil. Particularly as it is going to be used as a key piece of evidence against his anti trans policies in court.

You know what does not get you closer to this? Trying to implement your policies underhanded without the public noticing. They will notice, and be angry (mainly for failing to make other people worse off at the same time).

I think it is largely a waist of time to be like “the American public change their minds so much” they realy don’t change the end states they desire all that much it is fairly immutable, what they change their minds about is what policy they think can achieve it. They are actually fairly reflexive

It is a little disconcerting that so many people who know a lot about LLMs on a technical level appear to go a little insane. It would be like if there was a really cool and effective new kind of pen, and for some reason about 40% of the people involved in the pen making process went mad.
