Do you know how hard it is to get your hands on a Death Note?
I strongly recommend the Michigan GOP attempt the "kicking each other in the balls" strategy again. It just might work.
who could have predicted a state political party that literally reached "kicking each other in the balls" levels of dysfunction would be having cash flow problems a year later
If this is true, it considerably raises the odds that Alito is precisely one of those people who believes every conspiracy theory they see in a Facebook comment.

Exclusive: Justice Alito sold Bud Light stock amidst anti-trans boycott effort
Alito did not respond to questions about the sale, but its timing raises fair questions — particularly in light of other ethical questions the justice has faced over the past year.

I can only assume no one important at Google has bothered to see how Search is going these days.
So many state Republican parties are like this these days. The whole party is basically a hollow shell.
Last year the Minnesota GOP had $54 in cash on hand and $300k in debt. I’m not missing a k after that 54. Fifty four dollars.
It's extremely marginally harder to obliterate a cyclist or a child while trying to go 50mph through a major city, so naturally the drivers are being victimized here.
Yes, people really refer to “a war on cars” when any other transportation option gets the slightest bit of attention. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

I’m still obsessed with the bear vs man question bc every time I look online I see people I knew irl going apeshit over not picking the man, calling them lesbians, etc. Just a word from the somewhat-wise, you’re not making them wanna pick the man more by acting like a whiny toddler

www.livemint.comSomehow, some have forgotten that people got into the habit of vaccinating children because they wanted to keep them. People like that probably told these parents it would be fine or safer not to do it, and it should be obvious why that's evil advice, whether out of ignorance or not.

PhDing feels vaguely feudal. I’ve heard people rattle off their academic lineages and these come with them various feuds and allegiances. If my advisor told me to kill a man, I’d probably do it.

"Homelessness funding" that cannot put people in housing because no housing is allowed to be built is political & fiscal masturbation.
I feel like I've said this so many times that I must be losing my mind at this point, but San Francisco will not be able to end its homelessness crisis until it makes significant progress on its housing shortage. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...

If you're a real practicing Catholic, angering a substantial number of organized nuns ought to be a somewhat frightening prospect to be avoided if at all possible.

"It's okay, we can just give everyone abandoned housing in the western Great Plains and call it done."
There are only two plots in housing discourse:
1. If people can’t afford it, they should move somewhere else
2. Why are these out of towners buying up all the houses here?
Homeless shelters are incapable of substituting for an abundance of accessible permanent housing, or effectively compensating for the lack of it.
a great thread highlighting issues with addressing homelessness just with shelters

It feels like investors and upper management in an enormous range of firms & organizations have taken up a lead-paint drinking habit when it comes to LLMs. How can they be justifying all this in their own heads when there are so many obvious warning signs?
I cannot get over how indifferent people are to AI's inability to deliver reliable information. Stop giving these things responsibility for telling people stuff!
Clarifying question: If Justice Alito was an enthusiastic and openly card-carrying fascist, what exactly would he be doing differently?
An upside-down American flag — a symbol embraced by Donald Trump’s supporters who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen — flew at Justice Samuel Alito’s home while the Supreme Court was considering an election case in early 2021. nyti.ms/3QP6nGu
There's not a lot of distance between this act and a general policy of pardoning people who murder Abbott's and Republicans' political opponents, or members of groups targeted for persecution & violence.

www.rollingstone.comBuild democratic civil government in the southern territories from the local level up, and carve them up into entirely new states to consign the confederate state identities to oblivion. Use the absence of the confederate states and gradual admission of new ones to back deep constitutional reform.
Impose punitive land & property taxes in the territories that were the former confederate states, and use them along with seized property to support large-scale land reform to grant land to former slaves and southern unionists. Actively arm those and other loyal groups as territorial militia.

Lincoln should have chosen a Radical Republican as his vice president for his re-election and accepted the need for root-and-branch reconstruction of the confederate states as territories under the argument that the state governments were invalidated by rebellion.
