"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

like, isn't pedophilia statistically pretty rare? so that makes all the people implicated doing fucked up shit on epstein island an improbability unless the "at that level of power it's literally the only thing left that pushes you along on the hedonic treadmill" is the actual main factor

Anytime Trump says some bullshit I see a fair amount of despondent comments like "And like a third of the country will believe him" which is true but I think you just have to get past that. Like a third of the country believes in ghosts too, we don't need total consensus to win

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Instead of seeing the Trump dropping poop AI video by old standards—"how dare he, if any Dem..."—see it in fight-against-authoritarianism terms: They want everyone non-MAGA too scared to object, they fantasize about shooting protestors, and all they've got is a juvenile AI video to fake the feeling.

I once again urge those arguing that there's been no change in Republicans, that they've always been exactly like this, to realize that to everyone else it sounds like you're saying "calm down, 2026 and 2028 will be perfectly normal, you don't need to do anything that you weren't doing years ago."

The Kimmel thing is big because it's visible and easy to understand: the regime got him canned for speech, then danced on his professional grave, then fucking lost due to popular pushback. Every night he's on the air will be a reminder of their core pettiness and weakness.

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.
