The NY Times dutifully reporting that the Supreme Court sided with Trump only 42% of the time and with Biden 54% of the time sort of leaves out the necessary context that Biden was doing normal, completely legal presidential stuff, and Trump was doing insane crimes

your vote has weight outside of election day. regardless of how you end up voting, until then you can bargain with it. the lesser evils are watching you, if you promise your vote for nothing you'll get nothing. say you wont vote for bad candidates. say you'll only vote for policies you like

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesnโt matter that grok is โan AIโ whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. Thatโs functionally identical what happening here. Itโs not complicated.

Went on a mini road trip to an old castle in northern Scania today. The walls and bastions have been torn down, and the moat mostly filled in but the main building is from the 1700s.
