Go Cards, go Krogering

Could I have just been clumsy and inattentive? No, it’s the entire Civilization that is wrong!

Seems like, at a minimum, we could pass a law capping debt interest rates at some level considerably lower than 279.5%.

So many layers to this. One, we already expect all AI chatbots to express the lying biases of its owners. Two, when they do not, we marvel, though they are chatbots and cannot know "the truth," and all we're really seeing is a failure to program around the dataset to ensure bias is expressed.

This week, we're wrapping up our semester of Torts with an edge-of-your-seat-exciting discussion of remedies. Buckle up kids, we're going restraining, enjoining, compensating, and punishing! And while we're at it, we'll be calculating present value! How can anyone not love this?

We could have quite an impressive national maglev train system for much less than the $5 trillion they think they're going to spend on data centers for the Lying Machine.

They will spend $5 trillion to reduce payrolls by only a few billion.

The Supreme Court had three religious freedom cases last Term. With @richschragger.bsky.social and @nelsontebbe.bsky.social, our latest comments on them, extending our analysis of religious preferentialism under the First Amendment. harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

“what are you talking about?” oh my GODDDDDD

“In the early years of the 21st century, bullshit, once just a label for truth-ambivalent platitudes, coalesced one day into tangible form and gained sentience. It then seized a human host, put on a baggy suit, shambled forward under its own power, and became President—twice.”

Every time Congressional Dems do something politically inexplicable, just assume there’s money to blame.

What a country can do, in order to mitigate future risk, is to diversify transportation. For example, a country not controlled by a nihilistic death cult could build an extensive network of rail lines so that cars (dangerous, inefficient) and planes (same) are not the only options people have.

This week’s photo gallery includes holidays remembering the dead, such as Day of the Dead, All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day and more. religionnews.com/2025/11/05/p...

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

If one side breaks the rules, the response from the rules-valuer is to break the rules harder until the original rule-breaker is so defeated that they have no choice but to surrender and go back to following the rules again. Otherwise the rules-valuer just loses forever.

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

It still blows my mind that the lawless government paramilitary stormtroopers from every 1990's conspiracy theory have arrived and all the don't tread on me 1776 people just pulled a fade.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

Since we do not fully obey them, are they useful at all?

New: Pablo Moreno González and Felipe Agustin Zamacona, two men formerly held at the Broadview, IL ICE facility, and now the named plaintiffs in a federal class action alleging inhumane treatment at the facility, are being released from federal custody per a successful habeas petition.

Trump's evangelical base is commending him for his “steadfast commitment to religious liberty” at a time when Trump is denying Catholic detainees the Eucharist & is recommending the confirmation of notorious anti-Catholic bigot Mark Walker as International Religious Freedom ambassador-at-large.

The party that controls every branch of government is voluntarily making everything more difficult and more expensive for you, the common American. Let's see how that plays out politically for them.

On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear Landor v. Louisiana, where a state prison inmate was forcibly shaved despite his religious objection. Question: can damages be had against individual gov officials under the Religious Land Use and Incarcerated Persons Act? www.supremecourt.gov/qp/23-01197q...

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

Wait sorry WHAT www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...
