Always loved the Pirin tablets. (Though given how quaint Gene Hackman’s character seems in our current moment, we could probably all use some ourselves.)

Yeah, I kind of think that one reason half the country went so far off the deep end was that the rest of us stopped engaging with them. It was out of self-care, of course, but at what collective cost?

Yes. Also apropos of the WaPo nonsense, I wish they would add β€œCancel your Amazon Prime subscription” to the action items for 2/28.

I don’t think β€œparroting” quite gets at what’s happening here. β€œPushing” is more accurate. He’s a full and enthusiastic participant in this disinformation projectβ€”it would be helpful if our journalism reflected that.

So @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is this a pitch worth swinging at or nah?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social … just curious… has that pitch you’re waiting for arrived yet? Or are you just going to strike out looking?

Um, okay? I’m glad she’s showing up to the office when required and performing the normal duties of her job, but the building’s on fire and the arsonists are her coworkers, and in response she’s taking snow-stroll selfies. Hit me up when she does something about the fire.

Right? All the stories about her raging at her staff over innocuous mistakes, but she can’t muster any of that anger when it counts. Figures.

There hasn't actually been a serious border security problem between Canada and the US.

Wanna know a good way to create one? Create incentives in the tens of billions of dollars for successful smuggling operations.

Exactly this. Also, LLMs are by nature derivative, which is kind of the opposite of pushing the boundaries of knowledge so

I hate that it's gotten this far, but if countries want to counter a US-imposed trade war, they should make Elon Musk's companies a focus of their retaliation.
Those business interests have effectively merged with the US executive branch, and decision-makers value them more than the American people.

For a small business, yes. In politics, howeverβ€”especially in a two-party systemβ€”you need to do both.

He has a sustained history of antisocial behavior (cheating, sexual assault, fraud, etc. etc.) dating back to his early adulthood (and probably further back). He’s a textbook sociopath.

We wanted to understand the economic rationale for buying Greenland. So we talked to three unvaccinated UFC fans at a Jersey Mike's in Toms River.
