Not only is everyone's favourite rube, the British state, still committed to carbon capture and storage - which simply does not work - but they're committing 24bn which now isn't going to solar and wind, things we know will make a difference. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Not even joking - chancellor just announced as part of AI strategy that we are spending 60 million to create NERV (they actually used the damn acronym without checking it) www.gov.uk/government/n...

He is the President and he has been breaking the law with impunity, over and over and then flaunting it in public. The Supreme Court has said the only way to punish him is impeachment. Not impeaching sends the message that any president anytime in the future can do whatever the fuck they want.
They already did that twice and removal or revolution still didn't occur. By all means, say it's the principle of the thing and hell, I'll even agree with you, but that's all it is. Some GOP senators genuinely agree with him and some just think he'll kill them if they impeach but same result.

Very funny to see ChatGPT replicating the failure state of government bureaucracy ("go to your local librarian" being the answer to needing help with anything)
In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

This post was based off my experience at that exact WeWork shown in the movie. The couch they had their interview on was the spot I sat in. bsky.app/profile/harr...
The one time I visited a WeWork I sat at a table by some windows that overlooked the city. That turned out to be a big mistake because every 10 minutes a new dude would take the loudest call on his AirPods and gaze out this window with his hands on his hips in a “I’m gonna own this town” kinda way.

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost
its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

I had Argon make this 53s video on Turek using archival footage snippets, for the following reasons: 1) It's important to understand the capabilities available to lab insiders using limiters-off frontier LLMs 2) In hopes of turning his anti-trans ad into a clear liability, pour encourager les autres
I've found the exact timestamp match and confirmed that argon is correct that they're the same videos. Before I set argon on this I hadn't realized that the specific clip he chose for his anti-trans ad as an example of democrats going "too far" was from an Epstein files hearing - odd, that!

RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

Out of religious modesty, women wore the "pilgrim hats" properly 'capotains' (which never had buckles), some of which were flat-topped, other sugarloaf. I guess we can't rule out pointy versions, but it's probably a historical misunderstanding. "Witches" were just well-dressed older women.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."
It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising
