Wasn’t there some sort of medieval tradition along these lines, on the theory that G-d had intervened?

Why am I not surprised that AI slopsters believe an author’s “genius” has absolutely nothing to do with the words she wrote?

It will not. The Bully-in-Chief doesn’t believe in carrots. Only sticks. I wish everyone else in the world would STOP CAVING TO HIS THREATS, but we here in the United States aren’t exactly setting a shining example. If we got our own house in order, then you wouldn’t have to deal with him.

Today I’m seeing a ton of people trying to justify what Hamas did exactly three years ago today, ranging from “What else can the oppressed do?” to “Don’t believe Israeli propaganda” to “Israel is evil and always has been and should never have been allowed to exist in 1948.”

Less surprising than you might think at first, until you remember that a lot of Christian religious leaders specifically teach that thinking independently and questioning them are contrary to “faith.”

The United States is a member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The 1990 OSCE Copenhagen Document obligates members—including the US—to invite international election observers. So yes, what he’s doing is illegal. What a surprise. odihr.osce.org/odihr/667722

*Note that 33% is the relative increase in the already lower chance that any given male is homosexual. It doesn’t mean that having three older brothers gives you a 99% chance of being gay. (I know you already know this because you know how statistics work; I’m mansplaining for other readers.)

Shadow (he/him) @shad0.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Each older brother increases the odds that a man is homosexual by about 33%,* according to the studies. But they thought older sisters were irrelevant. (As is usual in many contexts, sigh.) Turns out that’s wrong… but it’s still lower than having older brothers. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I saw this too, but, hilariously, having older sisters is *less* likely to indicate homosexuality than having older brothers! Apparently it’s been known for decades that gay men are more likely to have older siblings—that is, have a higher birth order—than straight men. archive.org/details/sim_...

Not, unfortunately, as broad a ruling as one might wish, but still: Federal court rules that stealing someone else’s copyrighted work to train AI is neither “fair use” nor sufficiently “transformative” to make it legal. Appellate court unanimously agrees. (Defendant vows to seek review from SCOTUS)

I just don’t like setting up the Dems as scapegoats when the full wishlist doesn’t come to fruition. It’ll only encourage people to vote third party or stay home instead of voting for them next time… and we know where that leads.

Shadow (he/him) @shad0.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Which is not to say that the Dems shouldn’t try anyway! Let them get Republican votes on the record. Let Trump veto things that most of the country supports. Make a record… and have the legislation already pre-written for 2029 (if we’re lucky).

Shadow (he/him) @shad0.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Now, I do think it should be reformed back into what it was originally. None of this “gentlemen’s filibuster nonsense, where they just *assume* the filibuster would happen without actually making anyone do it. And go back to suspending *all* Senate business during a filibuster. Give it a cost.

100

Shadow (he/him) @shad0.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The only one of those things the Dems could theoretically do is trash the filibuster. And they won’t always be the majority. Imagine what the past two years would have looked like if the GOP had killed the filibuster, as Trump kept demanding.

Humans, however, through malice or (more likely) incompetence, might well prompt it to do something that results in killing us. “You’re right, I shouldn’t have unleashed that biological plague. You never instructed me to do it, and that’s on me. Good catch!”

💯 Also, what they’ve decided to label AI these day won’t *intentionally* kill us. It will never “intentionally” do anything, any more than your TV “intentionally” turns on when you hit the button on your remote.
