Mark Carney is quintessentially Canadian, in that he sincerely believes himself to care about the environment

In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages. As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie. Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Dems. Please. Stop proposing and running on tax cuts. I have no idea where this cursed trend came from, although I can guess. But your hypothesis on why to do this is wrong and you are badly missing where most Americans are at. Short thread with sources, focus group sound, and data.

the thing is if you want a university orientated around the classical curriculum and the Great Books, St John's already exists! but what they wanted was somewhere where they could be intellectually fellated 24/7. this is the opposite of an actual classical education, which should be humbling.

’This is a distraction!’ is like ‘This won’t lower the price of eggs’ or ‘This takes away from health care’ — it says that the person you’re talking to is so stupid that nothing you say could get them to see that ‘This’ is EVIL. Rhetoric for the side that’s given up shaping what people care about.

For many years #Palantir and #ICE. have been partners. Palantir has also been contracted by many EU member state governments. Palantir is making a profit with European tax payers’ money. Do we feel okay about that? (spoiler: we shouldn’t). No European government should work with Palantir
