You start out in 2024 by saying, "clanker, clanker, clanker." By 2026 you can't say "clanker" ā that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, stochastic parrot, next-token predictor, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract.

One thing that happens a lot when people talk about Barney Frank's decision to cut trans people out of the employment nondiscrimination bill he wrote in 2007 is they'll go, "But wasn't it better to get something done rather than nothing? He was being a pragmatist!" But they've got it ALL wrong.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

No huge surprises so far for Oregon this election. Tax weariness probably explains 120's failure. Brown losing her seat is mostly B.S., but not shocking. Nor is Drazan winning the GOP primary. What a dreary governor's race this'll be.

Of all of the things that Platner has done to make me suspicious of him, cranking his hog in a porta shitter isn't one of them. He was enlisted. That is baseline enlisted dude behavior. Jerking it in a porta shitter is, arguably, is the most normal thing I've heard of him doing.

I cannot emphasise this enough - every single person who has been killed in protests in Kenya since 2022 has. Been. Killed. By. The. Police. Civilians are not the ones shooting each other. Kenya does not have a protest problem - Kenya has a policing problem and a gov with no tolerance for dissent.

Saw a local paper paraphrase a Republican candidate who talked about "the Portland bubble," in reference to the rest of Oregon. Folks. The Portland Metro (minus the parts of Washington state that are counted as part of the metro) is 47% of Oregon's population. Half is not a "bubble."

Just incredible. Any theoretical chargesāthereās no indication there were anyāwould fall outside the scope of presidential immunity for official acts. Fascinating that Trump felt the need to pursue this. He seems to have found a way around the likely legal rule that a president canāt pardon himself.

He's going to double down on right wing politics in the immediate future (maybe even today). In 2018 he was working incredibly hard on increasing production and he was globally laughed at for his submarine idea - that was when his personality started shifting. This is how he deals with humiliation.

GitHub Copilot moves to token based billing on June 1, and its users have now got a calculator that shows how much they've been actually burning every month - some $39-a-month users have spent $1500 to $5800 in tokens a month. Microsoft's subsidies are insane.
