Blind Alley No. 421

PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--" PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"

I have accepted that the US military is going to do some amount of surveillance on foreigners, and I know foreign governments try to do it to us, but I still don't like it. I think it is very important that society thinks through the consequences of this; perhaps the single principle I care most about for Al is that it is democratized, and I can see

They’re calling Sam Altman “the smartest guy with the best responses given the situation.” Everybody is going to love these answers! Absolutely nobody is going to think he’s a horrible goblin man that wants to burn $230 billion on the slop engine of choice for the Iran Conflict

That's my quarterback.

Rich alludes here to the wisdom of the judges at the Nuremburg trial: “To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

I estimate I spend 30-40% of my beginners' Latin classes teaching Danish grammar, in order to then be able to discuss how Latin works, similarly or differently.

That's not a bad thing (students learn useful and valuable things!) as long as it's accounted for in assessments.

I didn't even know the Dalai Lama *had* a Burn Book until I got the notification letter.
