Jill Filipovic has spent her entire career pretending to give a shit about feminism, but she’s just a concern troll focused on herself.

This is a widely accepted norm journalists are taught to convince themselves they believe in, but it's not at all obvious why a publication should have to publish an op-ed merely because it represents the president's point of view. That's a media market and branding decision major papers have made.

The vast majority of Palestinians want him out and will elect him president if there is ever an all-Palestine election again but the principal political vehicle for our national struggle, the Authority and PLO, is thoroughly gorged of dynamism and is beholden to US-Israel and opposes his release.

The C.I.A. Helped Pinpoint a Gathering of Iranian Leaders. Then Israel Struck.

I don't think the NYT reporters here know that they are -- this time, with typical deference and some delight in the derring-do of clandestine ops -- describing a close criminal partnership, collaboration in war crimes.

/Mistaking the SCIF at Mar-a-Lago for the coat-check for a chiropractor's second wedding that is happening in the ballroom right next to the SCIF at Mar-a-Lago and briefly seeing a drowsy Donald Trump in a suit and baseball cap looking at a TV with a bunch of tweets on it. "Ope, sorry guys."

This Hit Series Wasn’t Created for Black Fans. We Made It Our Own Anyway. Our long and complicated relationship with the late Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball.

Akira Toriyama died two years ago today. When he passed, I explained how Black American fans of Dragon Ball reinterpreted the series into a contemporary pillar of our culture.

I loved writing this essay, and I hope you enjoy it, too. Piccolo is wearing a wave cap.

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!"

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

that point about AGI being β€œbetter as a government project” is fucking hilarious, because the drumbeat from Literally Every Government Agency Leader over 3 administrations has been β€œAI is much better bought from industry, fuck off all you assholes studying it for us!”

Three general things from this AMA:
G...
1. There is more open debate than I thought ther ewould be, at least in this part of Twitter, about whether we should prefer a democratically elected government or unelected private companies to have more power. I guess this is something people disagree on, but...! don't. This seems like an important area for more discussion.
2. I think the is a question behind a lot of the questions but I haven't seen quite articulated:
What happens if the government tries to nationalize OpenAl or other Al efforts? I obviously don't know; I have thought about it of course (it has seemed to me for a long time it might be be better if building AGI were a government project) but it doesn't seem super likely on the current trajectory. That said, I do think a close partnership between governments and the companies building this technology is super important.
3. People take their safety (in the national security sense) more for granted than I realized, which I think is a good thing on balance but I don't think shows enough respect to the tremendous work it takes for that to happen.
Also, I am on the whole very grateful for the level of reasonable and good-faith engagement here.
It was not what I expected.

Sam Altman just - apropos of nothing - brought up the government nationalizing OpenAI. Multiple typos. Clammy Sammy’s having a big night of posting!
