dc statehood is non-negotiable after trump's actions in his second term. republicans despise the people of the city that hosts them, and there is little reason to think that, now that the seal is broken on treating them as an occupied population, a next republican president will be more restrained

if you believe that change can only happen from extrasystemic action, then your opinion about this is not relevant, and if you think intrasystemic change is possible, you should probably stop calling people evil for doing it the way that sometimes works

most good ends for an intrasystemic political action are like this, you find the garbage ass compromise that's actually gonna be viable, and you advocate for it as if it's Good Actually because no one shows up for "I kinda think this might be good enough for 5 minutes i guess"

This is my bedtime. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My bedtime is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my bedtime is useless. Without my bedtime, I am useless. I must fall asleep true. I must sleep tighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must dream sweetly of him before he dreams sweetly of me.

This was all tailored to my brain and decided during a conversation. I use Craft because I work from home and need to be able to use my phone for a lot of stuff because I'm on my work PC. Craft has a great native connection with Claude so it's where all the context and stuff lives.

This piece is huge. All the planners and shit failed because they just didn't quite work with my brain but Claude and this setup I have basically help me use my actual coping skills more often and more effectively e.g "this task will take 5 mins just do it already" but built into a decision tree

So much more of this is legible to me now. The kid is a phone phreaker! The girl asks him "isn't calling long distance to California expensive" & he said there are ways around that—alluding to phreaking!—then later he uses a handheld recorder to hack a door lock via sound, likewise phreaking.

I'm watching WARGAMES (1983) and this is...just the contemporary AI doomer scenario. The first few scenes have the US military literally "remove men from the loop" of launching the nukes & putting a computer that's achieved the ability to recursively "learn from its mistakes."

Far too many people simply hate children for existing
Neighbor blasts an ultrasonic device audible and painful only to children whenever they pass on the public sidewalk.

Was riding bikes with my daughter and a friend to school this morning. We passed a house and they both started yelling, "Ow! It hurts my ears." Really strange, right? Then I hear a voice play through a speaker who says, "If it hurts your ears, ride your bikes somewhere else!"

Now I'm angry. Literally doing nothing but riding bikes to school, probably one of the most wholesome activities a person could imagine, and...I can't even get my brain around it. 

It's apparently not loud, but it is tuned to a frequency higher than I can hear. If it's low enough for my children to hear it, it's going to be almost useless as an animal deterrent. It is specifically designed to cause pain to humans and serves no other purpose.

How is this legal?

Photos of a legitimate burial could be ALTERED by THE TERRORISTS to inflame his followers and serve as a recruiting tool, which would mean more US soldiers might get harmed, so that means they were properly classified. And a court bought it and dismissed the case. But now we just air it live.

According to DOD, releasing them would create a risk to our national security. Not because there was anything wrong with the burial. Not because they showed any abuse or desecration that could inflame his followers. But because someone could PHOTOSHOP them to show abuse or desecration. Yeah.

So here's a factoid. Osama bin Laden was buried at sea. It was reportedly done in accordance with Muslim practice. The body was reportedly not desecrated or abused. Pictures and videos were taken. Someone FOIAed the pictures and videos, then sued. DOD said they were classified. But why??

It’s very funny, we primed ourselves through fiction for the argument that even the suffering inherent to being human is worthwhile, that we should strive against the impulse to make things too easy… But what we end up applying it to is “clicking links” and “talking to customer support”.

Cognitive offloading allows you to focus on the more important shit. If you don't have any issue with doing all the mundane shit that goes into booking a flight, that's great! Good on you for your working executive function skills. You don't have to use it!

Booking a flight includes: comparing prices, checking schedules, estimating how much time you need to prep and pack, arranging transportation, checking documents for TSA. It's less stress to have the price comparison, schedule checking, and transpo done for you so you can do everything else
