She’s done exactly what they wanted, why would they get rid of her? I’d bet they see the changes as a success no matter what the ratings say.

In 2004 I saw Yudkowsky give a talk in which he said that when we upload our brains into the cloud and enter machine heaven, we will be able to taste the tastiest possible potato chip. That was his positive vision of the Singularity. I know it sounds made up, but he did say it.

No one recruited Trump as an asset thinking “This man will be president”. They thought “having a famous American real-estate developer in our pocket might be handy” Given how much money he’s laundered by selling Russians apartments, they were right. Him being president is an unexpected bonus

I really really want someone to ask him how we could possible make any money if we aren’t engaging in trade, but I know that no one who’s allowed anywhere near him has the moral fortitude to ask a critical question

The Kingston Trio recorded a song called “M.T.A.” In the 60s that told the story of Charlie, but they’ll do a much better job than I ever could explaining it: Source: YouTube share.google/VxgpafzJQRLy...

Aside from having its meaning bastardized, the discourse on the colloquial Woke is so frustrating because it’s not like this is the very first time right-wingers have been like Oh No, People Care About Oppression. We do this over and over and over.

I’ve never understood how some people view the USSR that way, given Prague and Budapest. How do you square the idea of liberation with the reality of oppression?

Not a fan of Hasan Piker but he's a guy who streams monologues to a small audience. Elon spends hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get Republicans elected and was for weeks the second most powerful member of the federal government, but oddly Republicans are rarely grilled about his views

John Mulaney’s genuine love for sitcoms is really obvious watching it, and Martin Short’s absolutely the best part of that show, but it was definitely not good television

They’re playing a game. They’re opposed when their vote isn’t needed. When Murkowski came out against him, it was worth betting that Cassidy was a yes - it was down to the two of them and one had to be a yes. The other close confirmations show a similar pattern - just enough opposition to not lose

The point of the primary is “pick the best person & everyone supports them”. When you have wreckers who are opposed to the nominee, are you supposed to just let them go on undermining the candidate? It’s hard for me to understand that mindset, because I’m interested in winning and that is loser talk

The stuff that survived had to be so beloved that someone was willing to copy it out by hand for millennia. That doesn’t strictly mean that if it’s lost it was crap, but strongly suggested that if it didn’t make it maybe it wasn’t that great.

The idea of “visibility” isn’t something neutral that society gets an opinion on. It’s a person living as they actually are, something no one else gets to define for them. Calling it a mistake isn’t contrarian, it’s depraved

Those who are under their mid-40s may not remember that Slate was originally conceived as a contrarian endeavor. Setting aside whether that was ever useful, this is a really disgusting example of that genre.

Rashida Tlaib said something about these yesterday, but I haven’t heard any other politicians talking about this. It’s such a straightforward miscarriage of justice - the charges are bogus and the sentences intended to stifle opposition to the govt - that if they don’t call this out, what will they?

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

The Prairieland Sentences Are a National Emergency
A federal court has punished Texas ICE demonstrators with decades in prison. This is dark news not just for them but for anyone who may want to register political dissent.

The rioters hate the notion of a free and independent Ireland. They are happy to kill, and many are even willing to die, to prevent a free and united Ireland from existing. The rioters consider themselves as British first, not Irish.

I think that’s one of the hardest bits of all of this, we need someone in the presidency that is willing to cede the (illegitimate) powers that the office has accrued. Esp when Congress is opposed it’s convenient to have or claim all that power, but someone has to sacrifice that for the greater good

The US is going to be humiliated by the concessions that we’ll have to make, but instead of making them now and accepting that pain is unavoidable they’re going to wait until we end up both humiliated and in a global recession the world will rightly blame on us.

The only thing I can figure is they were shooting at him and he tripped - they haven’t claimed they tackled him or stopped him, but he ends up on the ground. If someone had physically stopped him we’d be hearing all about that hero. The silence suggests to me that it was dumb luck and he just fell
