The "all anti-Zionism is always and forever antisemitism" people and the "all antisemitism becomes fine if we just say it's anti-Zionism, even if we're ranting about the Talmud" people reinforce one another, even if both sides utterly fail to see it.

Funniest part to me is Jack Smith using 110% of his lawyer brain. He avoids making the connection himself; he doesn't even say "Hawkeyes," he just says "Iowa." He knows it's better to let everyone figure it out on their own. He also knows from Klobuchar's grin that she'll dunk it for him.

Double fun fact: Gingrich defunded OTA, but did not *abolish* it. Congress could just... appropriate money, with orders to start staffing up again. Just throwing that out there.

So, fun fact: ever since 1994, and Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America" campaign stunt, Congress has had a SERIOUS problem with subject-matter expertise and institutional memory. It's why Congress has such a deep and complicated relationship with lobbyists. 1/

on the anthropic IPO stuff, I think this via @garbageday.email is pretty much spot on www.garbageday.email/p/they-want-...
But I’ll end this here with a little conspiracy theory courtesy of Hacker News that I have decided I will believe until I see proof to the contrary. “OpenAI and Anthropic are publicly asking for slowdown in AI research,” one user wrote. “Translation: We see this technology not being any more useful than what it is now, no AGI is coming, and the first one to accept this and slow down the dollar burn rate will incur the wrath of the market. So let's say this big boogeyman technology will end all life on earth and we all slow down together.”

HELL YES. I agree with every word of this. Hinojosa’s campaign has been disappointing. And the median Dem ad is actually worse and more out of touch than I’ve seen in five cycles of doing this. Dems can fight and win on all these issue areas. But they’re not even trying.

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

A new surprising genre of journalism is whether Meta’s Muse is going to be so good at helping people save money that it tanks the economy? This is another version of the SaaSpocalypse narrative. Investors and journalists are on the lookout for AI disruption narratives, no matter how unlikely.

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.

Kimmel is open and effusive about their thirty-year friendship, forged in the "Man Show"
era when they were both indulging in their immaturity. In recent months, he has spoken
at Carolla's Walk of Fame induction and shown up for Carolla's Vegas comedy set.
Kimmel's only reference to their diverging paths has been to note, "Adam and I, as you
probably know, don't agree much when it comes to politics, but I love him dearly."
If Kimmel is as good a friend to Carolla as he insists he is, then he should stop palling
around with his increasingly unhinged buddy as though their disagreements are merely
"political" in some vague technocratic sense. I do not imagine they sit around debating
changes in maritime law or the proper marginal tax rate. Speaking warmly about Carolla
at his Walk of Fame induction and showing up at Carolla's stand up is a normal way to
support a friend under normal circumstances. But Carolla's behavior has crossed a line.
He doesn't need someone to stand by him in public, he needs someone to perform an
intervention in private
