Even "sleepy Joe" was projection!

Etc. Usw. 等等. Really fun to experience this learning pattern.

"This would be an even trade of material, but I would make shape and white would break shape, so I'll do it."

"Controlling the center gives a large moyo in this game."

"I can trade pieces, but leave black with bad aji."

One neat thing about coming back to chess, after spending ~20 years being more invested in Go, is I think of things in terms of Go concepts like "aji", "shape", "moyo", "atari".

If your business can't survive not telling people to kill themselves, your business doesn't deserve to survive.

OpenAI shouldn’t have a business, that’s correct

Your accounts on social media can be banned if someone misinterprets a photo as a death threat, but the billion dollar plagiarism machine is allowed to tell you to kill yourself in no uncertain terms.

Neat.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I don’t really want to hear defeatism from people who don’t live in the U.S. or who have already left.

We’ve got fighting to do and a democracy to save.

BLUESKY ELDER ELECTED NYC MAYOR

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.

If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

Want to be in politics in the future? Take an acting class. Improv skills will help you a lot. You will need to be on camera a lot more than any previous generation of politician and performing on camera is (mostly) a learned skill that you can get better at with deliberate practice.

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

One of my machine-gunners spoke Cambodian. One of my rifleman spoke Laotian and another spoke Cajun almost exclusively. No Marine I know gave AF because they all swore an Oath to our Nation that including "Up to and including my life." F*ck JD Vance and his prissy Yale Imperialistic view of America.

Discursively I've always found it odd that people will recite "only Jewish state" to me as if it's meant to mean anything of substance. What is the relevance of this to a Palestinian? We are opposed to the occupation because the occupation is happening to us.

We are not Constitutionally BARRED from an expectation of privacy in public.

The Constitution, as courts have chosen to interpret it, simply does not ESTABLISH such an expectation.

There’s no reason we can’t create it via statute.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

This is a cold civil war.

Ken Burns’s Civil War 2

“My dearest Martha, the days are shortening and the atmosphere is as tense as it is cold. Amazon delivered an inflatable frog costume with extended battery for the long stretches we spend taunting our brothers and mortal enemies athwart the barricades of their ICE facility.”

Trump ordered today another lethal strike in the Caribbean, killing everyone on board a vessel. The "elimination" of 6 more people is not law enforcement; it's extrajudicial murder. This illegal campaign, which has now claimed 27 lives, is part of war plan against Venezuela.

Wasn't that guy comatose for almost a decade?

Also the ensuing power struggle will be absolutely insane.

there is no solid proof he is in the checkout line, only circumstantial evidence. but there is much more circumstantial evidence than i expected

he has been talking obsessively about the afterlife for some time, he is missing for chunks of time, his aides are trying harder than usual to show he’s fit, his public appearances show someone in visible physical decline, and jd vance talked impromptu about being prepared to assume office
