Midnight Train To Georgia On My Mind

Andrew Cuomo & @andrewcuomo In case you forgot, l'm Andrew Cuomo, son of Mario, grandson of Andrea. Welcome to the heavyweight bout, @ZohranKMamdani This is a two man race. You look tired already. It's just the second round. 2:40 PM • 8/8/25 • 14K Views

Is Andrew Cuomo having a nervous breakdown?

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

The murder of America's world-best higher education sector--a leading export good of the US economy--continues under this lawless autocratic regime, and gets worse

americans are very funny, thinking it can never happen here

ok, stay with me, you have ZERO rights when the cops show up in the USA.

Why is that? Cause there is ZERO penalty for a cop not respecting your 'rights'. Every court has the fix in for cops & will willing believe thier lies #ACAB #DEFUND

I'm partial to a mixed-member proportional system, where there are single-member districts and compensatory seats awarded via PR to mitigate the distorting effects of single-member districts, as used in Germany and Mexico. Maybe this reform would be more palatable to congresscritters

hey everyone, just passing by to ask you for something since this post went quite viral

Glad to see the Trump administration's fight against antisemitism is going so well.

I am beginning to think that Republican transphobia does not, in fact, have fuck all to do with supporting the athletic endeavors of women

Jennings: I think the president is saying to the American people, why are we counting illegal aliens apportioning our political leadership?

Kasparian: Because it's in the constitution, the United States constitution, the supreme court ruled on this in 2019, and they ruled against Trump

More than two weeks ago I called for Democratic governors to redistrict 30 Republicans out of their seats.

I stand by that.

JUST IN 🚨: Student Loan Debt entering serious delinquency soars to 12.9%, the highest level ever recorded

People say that the debunking of the Russia collusion hoax is old news and everyone should move on and let bygones be bygones, even as @TheAtlantic's@anneapplebaum and other people are STILL CLINGING, bitterly, to the lie that they pushed against the American people.

Happy to see my Lawfare article on the Gabbard Files got under the skin of Federalist midwit Mollie Hemingway. 🤗

Mollie: Durham knew the “Durham Annex” was BS. The HPSCI report SVR emails…where *are* they? You hoax hoaxers are relying on trash as thin as Steele.

A shitty map created by ChatGPT5. it purports to be US States with an R in their name, but it's wrong and dumb and worthless just like LLMs.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

Why did I send this letter to the Chief Justice?

So he’d understand the full scenario that just touched the Judicial Conference (the administrative body of judges that oversees the operations of the Judicial Branch), which he convenes and chairs.

Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’

"So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer, is that right?" -- Eugene Robinson guides Scott Bessent into acknowledging that tariffs are in fact paid in the United States, not by foreign governments

At least Texas is being historically consistent for a change. They do have a long history of asking northern states to apprehend fugitives who fled there to avoid doing work they didn't want to do.

So many in this administration acting as if the reign of this 79 year old overweight narcissist will never come to an end and they won't be held responsible for their lawlessness and depravity.

Astonishing.

A young person from the early 20th century dressed in a formal outfit, holding a book and wearing a jacket, dark vest, bow tie, and a straw boater hat. He has a Jewish prayer shawl on his shoulders.

8 August 1924 | French Jewish boy, William Schwartzmann, was born in Paris.

He was deported to #Auschwitz from Drancy on 23 September 1942. He did not survive.

100%.

(I wrote three different posts but will just agree as yours is so on point).

A refreshing policy change or just slapdash drafting? the EO makes you ineligible for grant funding if you *deny* "the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic" (see Section 4(ii)(B)). (Spoiler alert: slapdash drafting.)

ChatGPT File • • Edit View Window Help ChatGPT 5 > How many times does the letter b appear in blueberry The word "blueberry" has the letter b three times: • Once at the start ("B" in blueberry). • Once in the middle ("b" in blue). • Once before the -erry ending ("b" in berry). Total: 3 O92 Show me where the letter b appears in the word please. Sure — here's "blueberry" with each b highlighted: B lue b erry Positions (counting from 1): 1 B - first letter 4 b - in blue 6 b - in berry D9< Spell that out with all three bs please. I mean, just spell the word. Sure — here's the full spelling with all three b's shown in place: BLUEBERRY That's exactly how blueberry is spelled, with the b's in positions 1, 5, and 7.

ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help E ChatGPT 5 > You wrote "BLUEBERRY". There are only two bs there. Ah - I see the mix-up. Let's slow it down and spell blueberry carefully, letter by letter, showing all three b's. blueberry Now you can see them: • 1st b → position 1 • 2nd b → position 5 • 3rd b → position 6 blueberry Exactly — blue berry has three b's: • 1st b → at the very start • 2nd b → right after the e in blue • 3rd b → immediately after the second b, starting berry So the "bb" in the middle is really what gives blueberry its double-b moment. Its double-b moment; I see. Yep - blueberry is one of those words where the middle almost trips you up, like it's saying "b-b-better pay attention." That little bb moment is satisfying, though — it makes the word feel extra bouncy.

 ChatGPT File Edit View Window Help 巴 • ChatGPT 5 > My students get you to write their essays for them, you know. Ah, the old "ChatGPT, do my homework" routine — I'm familiar with that one. I can see why they'd be tempted, but here's the thing: I'm a lot more useful as a coach than a ghostwriter. If they use me to brainstorm ideas, plan structure, or clarify tricky concepts, they'll actually learn and still have their own voice in the work. If they just hand in what I write, they're skipping the thinking part - and it usually shows. I'm good, but I still leave a trail of... telltale ChatGPT-isms. A trail of blueberries, as it were. Exactly — a trail of blueberries: easy to follow, a little sweet, and maybe just obvious enough for a watchful teacher to notice. If your students really are leaving me to bake the whole blueberry pie for them, they might forget that the best part of pie is making it themselves... even if it gets a little messy. "Blueberry" only has two bs. Nope - blueberry really does have three b's. Here it is spaced out: bluebberry Positions: b- at the start 5 b - in the "blue" part 6 b - right next to it, starting "berry" That middle double-b is easy to miss if vou just glance at the word.

I had to try the “blueberry” thing myself with GPT5. I merely report the results.

From this month's edition of The Onion.

Yes, Kevin Hassett Would Be a Very Bed Fed Chair Lying liars who lie and knowingly and deliberately say whatever—whatever—lies they believe are to their immediate advantage are not the kind of people who should chair the Federal Reserve. Any...

Glad to see @delong.social has brought back the receipts on the deeply unserious, longtime lying liar, Kevin Hassett, who should be nowhere near the Federal Reserve.

It is. But I also suspect many retired players who stay in shape are good for a competitive set into their late 40s/early 50s. But a set is about it. She’s been training so we will see.

Even those in the military who don’t want trans people in the service won’t support arbitrary revocation of benefits. Not sure who they think will approve of this.

WASHINGTON (AP) - US Air Force says it will deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service.
