So, absolutely nothing on the guy that tried to do a hit at the WH Correspondence Dinner. No trial, no information, not a fucking word. staged

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.
Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for people who want to watch. They're proposing to broadcast a man being shot to death, even if deserved by our system, and even if you agree with this version of the death penalty, knowing that the footage will be clipped, shared, and pushed into social media feeds. Including those of our children. The gruesome image will be everywhere. Parents will have virtually no control over whether their kids see it. Once those images are released, there is no taking them back. Hope all the parents in the Trump Admin are cool with that.

the dynamic of lib/left political discourse seems rly simple to encapsulate: - the leftist takes a "morally virtuous" but non-pragmatic position - liberal says it's a dumb bc it won't happen and there's a better approach to reduce harm - leftist takes this dispute as the liberal being morally opposed to the initial position - conversation is reframed as the liberal person is anti-'good thing' like that's literally the entire discourse now, and once you see it you can't unsee it

Animal consciousness already brings up many of the AI consciousness moral dilemmas. Suppose it were scientifically discovered that ants are conscious. It still wouldn't work, economically or socially, to treat people who kill ants in their house like mass murderers.

Hey! If you see this, I hope you’re having a great day. This site isn’t good for debates, so try not to get pulled into one. It won’t change anything for the better. It’s also not full of nourishing information, so sample lightly. Ask what you want and scroll safely!

it’s kinda sad that we’ll never again have a breakout new language like rust or go, a new version control system, a new shell, become popular. no improvement is enough to outweigh the gains from the familiarity that agents have with the incumbent tools

Replying to @JKerr1999
Lincoln campaigned on allowing slavering to continue and then ended slaver. Allow politicians to who broadly support your values to do whatever is necessary to get elected and you’ll get much more of the results you want than forcing them to lose with morally right positions.

The lack of urgency on the left outside anti ice work has me nearly catatonic, we need to be pushing on so many fronts and it just isn't happening.
We are SEVERELY fucking underreacting to what’s happening in our government right now.

We quite literally raise millions of dollars for cancer research every year. Is your podcast doing that or?
Video game speedrunning might be the largest misallocation of human capital of all time You have 150+ IQ gigaautists devoting their lives to beating Mario Kart levels 0.00001 seconds faster instead of curing cancer or something

Look, I'm a public school kid, I'm with you. I wouldn't have believed it was possible if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes - some areas of the country are so poor that their schools are like refugee camps. Sometimes unsafe, always subpar. But people need to afford a home...
Priced out of basic schooling? You mean public education that's free because we pay taxes?

...and the public school you can go to is based on where you live, so yes, they're effectively priced out of what I would consider "basic" schooling. Like, having textbooks and not worrying other kids will knife or shoot your children.

That man cut down the Cherry trees in DC. Trees that have been there for well over 100yrs that were a gift from Japan. He cut them down even after a judge said not to. We go down every year for the Cherry Blossoms, the festival, and he just killed it all.

Not to be that guy and I know it's not going to happen, but what is the 25th for if not this? Our president is posting fake videos of a fake bombing of a country we're at real war with? Outta words and have been for awhile.
Trump posted last night a 10-second AI clip of Kharg Island “being blown to smithereens!!!” Even if AI had existed in 1944, I can’t imagine Churchill or Roosevelt posting CGI of Allied forces flattening the Third Reich. They just did it. War isn’t Call of Duty. Stop the trailer. Execute or don’t.

.@SenSchumer+@RepJeffries What is the Democrats plan on election day to combat the Republicans? 1. The fake bomb threats that historically will be called in key cities. 2. ICE officers interfering at voting sites? 3. Justice Dept interference? 4. Closing polling stations?
