You know how Musk is always a decade behind on every trend or meme he tries to use because he's uncool to a frankly mind boggling degree? Nick Bostrom's book, Superintelligence, came out in 2014. We already had a meme cycle about this.

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

Every visitor entering must go through a full body scanner. The only exception are members of the corrections officers union (i.e. the guards) who may opt out for any reason at any time without explanation. Real mystery here...

Andy Beshear has an entire chapter in his new book about backing the LGBTQ community and it's worth a read. He talks about how the anti-trans ads were tested in KY during his election and how vetoing anti-trans legislation didn't hurt his reelection campaign.

However the anti-trans ads had less to do with Kentucky and more to do with the fact that we were in an election. Terry Schilling, the head of the APP, decided to test the ads in our election to determine whether or not the issue could win votes for the Republican Party. Earlier in the summer of 2019, Scholling had partnered with a behavioral science firm to try to find a wedge issue that resonated with suburban voters. That's right. The anti-trans ads did not come out of some firmly held conviction but was a purely political stance. Their research landed on trans athletes, specifically trans women, competing in women's sports. They tested their theory in the 2019 Kentucky gubernatorial general election. Although I won, APP considered their test successful, because their research showed the ads delivered thirteen thousand votes for Trump Lite, which made the race tighter than anticipated.

You might hask how, in this political climate, I was reelected after vetoing the anti-trans bill. Because people respect authentic faith. The day I vetoed it, I explained my why. I said I believe all children are children of God and that I don't want people picking on these kids. I then countered their anti-trans ads with commercials talking about good jobs, healthcare, roads and bridges, public education, and

public safety. The result? The biggest win of my career. So don't tell me the Democratic Party should stop fighting for the rights of all people. Just explain your authentic why, and then get back to focusing on issues that touch all our lives on a daily basis.

Their evidence is that a model that has the semantic vector for pain given higher weight is more likely to do destructive things like deleting files. Any linguists out there want to field the question of why deleting files might be correlated with anger other than sentience?

The original demes (where we get the first part of the word democracy) were literally sports fans organized behind the Blues or the Greens—sports teams. They gained political power based on bonds formed in the stands turning into business relationships, marriages, and political support.

Given that fascism is definitionally characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition, any space not sanctioned by the state that encourages people of various backgrounds to mingle and find solidarity is, from my view, in and of itself anti-fascist

merriam-webster.com

Definition of FASCISM

a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government ...

I like that Trickcal is playing up the idea that Joanne is the real master by giving gameplay gimmicks like master powers, fixed story accurate squads, mid-fight cutscenes, and mid-cutscene fights to her. Great way to lend credence to the idea that she is real whereas we are simply playing a game.

Like all things Google does, this is a data harvesting tool in the guise of consumer services. It's placing a call on your behalf to ask questions like "what's the price of X?", "How soon can you send someone to Y", or "Do you have a table for Z". Google is throwing all that in a database.

ICE cannot do what it’s doing without local law enforcement. They need their manpower and infrastructure. That means if you want to stop ICE you are going to have to confront police collaboration and police power. I’m sorry but progressive hopes of avoiding this conflict are a recipe for failure.

Before WW2, 500,000 Jews lived in Germany. Today, 125,000 do. Even 80 years of supposedly anti-nazi governments later, and their country is still radically altered in a way pleasing to bigots. There is a very long tail to Trump's actions.
