Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ.

Consumer heaven anyway. The management actually wants to be in the business and they do a pretty good job.

Er, through systems we haven't even invented yet.

I agree. I think some solutions can be addressed through capitalism, some through socialism, some through anarchism, some three systems we haven't even named yet.

Oh yes. There's even been a pretty good book on it from @philippmarkolin.bsky.social . But people would much rather scream at each other.

you need to understand that Platner is not just a candidate , he is a canary in the coalmine to a certain kind of man that the world has not changed and they still can get plush gigs and pole position in society and life with zero qualification and even less aptitude for the work .

Something important is emerging about the psychology of hunger and desire.

Yeah. Most of the world doesn't seem to know it though. It isn't only the United States.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

So far, none of the headlines deem it worthy of pointing out that he brutally snapped the Marine’s arm.

It's likely to be a huge humanitarian disaster, especially since their water may well fail this summer. This may be one reason they're flailing and attacking whatever they can; they may not have any hope.

You're saying that the economics dictate a socialist solution.

The problem is I don't know what the risks are. If things were anything like normal, we could put the national labs on the job, we could bring in labs from around the world. But it's like the brain of a world has had a stroke. So we don't know. How big is the risk? What are the possible responses?

Rabbi, this. I am not sure if this is a likely outcome; no one seems to be doing the analysis. But I think we have a great deal to worry about here.

For the South it was a regime change war. And the victory changed United States as a whole.

There's more to it of course. But the press cuts in enormous amount of slack for Republicans while giving almost nothing to Democrats.

I think a certain senator is in a very great deal of trouble.

Adam Silverman thinks this is probably the result of a not very bright person attending classified meetings. He's probably right.

I think Vladimir Putin wrote this speech, or at least gave her the outline. This opens the possibility that there's a path directly from Russia into this administration.

I think Vladimir Putin wrote that script. Just how deeply penetrated is this administration?
