At that level, guys, pay the tax. It would be really good for the entire rest of the species. :(

It's striking how the Precautionary Principle has been abandoned by so many when it comes to COVID-19. We still don't know the impact COVID-19 will have 10, 15, 20 years after people get it.

I'd be a lot more OK with all of this if we had decarbonized the electric grid fully first. Pity municipalities aren't making the data center companies pay for all of that. It'd get done quickly.

Home Invasion/Regret #9 is one of the surest songs to give me goosebumps. This lineup was also captured at the RAH for Blu-Ray and that is *excellent*. Not my absolute favorite live, but it's on the top list near Seconds Out.

So, the 14th Amendment, then? Still not the first, still not a law. Still something Congress or SCOTUS would need to rein in, and they are feckless. You're still very wrong :)

But POTUS is generally allowed to do what he wants here, and he is supposed to be balanced and checked by Congress. They are, however, complicit. He is supposed to be balanced and checked by the Judiciary. They are often also complicit. It is, however, quite legal until then.

Plus, it doesn't violate the first amendment. > _Congress_ shall make _no law_ respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; Is it a dick move? 100%. Is it fascistic and wrong? 100%.

Yeah, I've been a tech nerd for decades but all the "AI" stuff really does feel like "Sooooo we're taking a type of computation that's actually bad at most things and putting it in a whole bunch of stuff to make it work worse because... if we don't the whole economy's going to crash or something?"

Imagine what would be possible if we funded education. Adequately, fully, publicly, in proportion to its importance in society and all the burdens that fall to it. Really: imagine. People in power and on the far right have, and that's why we're in this mess. They don't want that to ever happen.

NYC event spaces are some of the worst, especially if the building is a retrofit. I still can't believe we figured all that out in 1918 but haven't figured it out this time. Maybe Mamdani will help, but he also has way bigger fish to fry.

Ah, i thought you meant "in the entire catalog". I think Vigil is very strong, but it's also got some chaff.. Big Wedge kind of sucks a lot. Simmonds' synth programming is uber-cheesy, especially compared to what Mark Kelly was producing.
