I know Republicans mostly don’t honor oaths, which means they also don’t believe in the God of the Bible, but still. I wish we still had a culture of pretending to believe in basic shared morality.

"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."

Screencap of tweet on X from @jackclarkSF (Jack Clark):

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

one great thing about Mamdani's brand of cheerful competence is how ridiculous it makes his conservative critics look, like nobody is buying that the Mr Rogers dude who filled all the potholes is a wild eyed America hating extremist

There's always a backlash against progress for marginalized communities unless it's too small to matter So no MeToo didn't go too far BLM didn't go too far The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not go too far The Voting Rights Act did not go too far The backlash is against progress, not excess

honestly for a second I thought it was one of the nameless off-model villains from the Konami Simpsons arcade beat-em-up

Four-player Simpsons Arcade beat-em-up from Konami, with two nameless besuited boss characters, one big with red tie and brown shoes, one too small for his identical suit with blue tie and black shoes.

I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ve never truly left the Great Financial Crisis. Everything we’re dealing with today started there, and every excess and problem stems from the US government’s failure to contain or eradicate its causes.
