Redhead. Missourian. I like hornets. March 30, 2026: If this site is going to be written by Claude, I'm out. If the Internet is going to be written by autocomplete bots, then I just won't use the Internet. Enjoy your Akinator-written code, I guess. Bye.

(I believe there are good reasons to want to regulate AI development quite separate from the alleged existential risks. The risks to education alone are quite enough for me to want to regulate it into dirt.)

Yeah, Hamas has long had genuinely extremist rhetoric. People say Likud saw in Hamas the kind of opponent Likud wanted, so there would be fascists on both sides. 😐

You think you have a rhetorical trick. That tiny, desperate attacks by Palestinians can be made morally equivalent to what Western powers do to them. That given a choice between either unending terror & rapine or the extermination of Jews, Christians will choose the former. Bad bet.

You're right. I don't care. The status quo, where fundamentalist Judaism is tolerated, means terror unceasing for all Gentiles in the region. I find that intolerable. This only ends when violent Zionism becomes non-viable. If that meant killing every Hebrew on Earth, including me? Still worth it.

Your viewpoint is colored by Israeli propaganda. What we saw on October 7 was the ugliness of war, expressed briefly. What we have seen since, in response, was mass demolition & extermination over a long period of time.

If Lauren Boebert's district here in Colorado can vote for a reproductive health amendment that permits abortion without it being tied to fetal viability, then any red district can—and you will never change my mind. We don't have to settle for crumbs. I wrote about it here.

Missouri’s Abortion Rights Amendment Fell Into the Fetal Viability Trap. Let’s Talk About It.
The viability standard failed us under <em>Roe v. Wade</em>. It doesn’t have to be the future of reproductive freedom—just ask Colorado.

A majority of voters in the Deep South disagree with their states’ extreme restrictions, highlighting the disconnect between the public and the legislators who represent them.

I think this is part of why they're so scared of the DSA. They're used to the democrats treading water and answering to rich donors who just want a less vulgar status quo than the Republicans. Actual reform breaks kayfabe.

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.
A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to return Ahmed Soliman to the United States, five months after he was expelled to Equatorial Guinea, a country where he has no ties, in a decision that could have far-reaching implications for thousands of others subjected to the Trump administration’s third-country removal scheme.

Arizona District Court Judge John C. Hinderaker, a Trump appointee, ruled that DHS violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and “must facilitate Plaintiff’s release from custody in Equatorial Guinea and return to the United States and must ensure his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to Equatorial Guinea.”

Hold on, this is a crime novel scenario: A long haul trucker is running for Congress in Arizona. Cool! And was attacked in the wee hours of the morning by two men, who knocked her out and raped her. Bizarre! And then they called her a bad fuck. She was unconscious, you morons!

Tonight we read the heartrending words of those who lost Israeli loved ones on Oct 7th — and Palestinian loved ones in the three years since. We said kaddish for all of them. We refused to compromise on anyone’s humanity. No amount of shouting stopped us. May their memory be for a blessing.
