The current US government's ongoing commitment to destroying the US tourism industry is of course not its worst feature morally, but it might be the weirdest.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.

i just reviewed 50+ applications for an arts award and most of them were written by chatgpt. And then the other reviewers said they put them into Gemini to rank them. At a certain point, if everyone is giving their thinking entirely over to AI, why are we even bothering with any of this anymore?

Federal agents used chemical weapons on Chicagoans at least 49 times ā even after a judge said to stop. Contrary to federal claims about attacks on agents, most of these incidents appear to involve nonviolent protesters or bystanders.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

There is *extensive* Papal teaching on cinema over the last century and this is a brilliant addition. The new word here is "algorithms". I predict that when Leo's teaching on AI drops next year, it will be more significant than any religious teaching since Laudato Si'

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Access to the sacraments is the tip of the iceberg. They won't allow clergy access bc they aren't running a proper detention facility. The scandal that religious protests are highlighting is not that the detainees' religious rights are being violated, but that ALL their rights are being violated.
