I had measles when I was very little, and distinctly remember my father putting me in a tub full of cold water, desperately trying to bring down my raging fever. It was very much NOT something you wanted your kid to get. P.S. "Chickenpox parties" are why so many older adults have shingles.

This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery. Let's talk about this key moment in American labor history!

the big thing the rise of LLMs has revealed to me is that there is a not insignificant chunk of the population that considers cognition itself to be a frustrating and unnecessary burden

DOJ a prime target for investigations imo. Let's find out who exactly covered up the president's sex crimes, who tried to hang a felony on a random guy because the president was mad about the reflecting pool. This latest outrage. Why should they be allowed to walk away to law firm jobs

Mark Zuckerberg is a monster.
At least one AI company is thinking about monetizing its users' mortality. Last year, Meta was granted a patent for an AI system that could keep a user account active well after death. In the words of the patent, "the language model may be used for simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking system, for example, when the user takes a long break or if the user is deceased". It's a depressing thought, the idea of posting for ever. It's also potentially lucrative for Meta, as the company could continue to train its model through these zombie accounts.

BTW, the reason these guys get so offended when Trump etc is accurately called a racist/rapist/criminal is because they knew all of this and voted for him anyway. They know where the party they spent their lives defending is now and they’re afraid of how it reflects on them. That’s the whole thing.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

I've played poker at dozens of casinos in my life, from the fanciest palaces in Las Vegas to crappy riverboats in the Midwest, and I can say that the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City was -- by a fucking mile -- the dirtiest, dingiest, cruddiest casino I have ever experienced in my life.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW
