The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😑

I'll probably be asleep by the time you wake up tomorrow, but have fun.

Not very punchy, but kind of poetic, given I'm terminal and all.

Oh yes. β€œnot X, not Y, Z.” Once you start noticing the patterns it’s impossible not to see it everywhere. What worries me is that now if your writing is a little too polished people assume AI. I hate that I think about this as I’m writing but I’ll probably also be avoiding that one going forward οΏΌ

The concessio hurts me more than reluctantly retiring my dramatic emdash pivot. That’s the spice of my argument style! I don’t know who I am if I can’t β€œit’s not just X, it’s Y” you to death 😭

Honestly, it's only because I would eat a T-Rex that I still eat chicken. At this point, I don't consume any other meat. PETA gave me a really convincing argument here.

AI has decisively killed my love affair with the em dash and concessive arguments. The tell is unmistakable, and it's all over certain genres right now.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

1 year of ALS

Dude is so real for showing how quickly everything goes to shit with #ALS -- people just can't conceptualize how awful it is to live in a state of active decay. Fast loss of functionality, slow death. It. SUCKS.

I check in with ChatGPT every few months and the rate of development is mind blowing. The conversation is not unlike speaking to a people pleasing low level coworker. I worry that at some point I won’t be able to tell the difference anymore.

I can talk myself into circles about AI. It has so many wonderful possibilities and yet, given how awful humans are, every advancement in this space terrifies me.

Incidentally, the X-Files walked so Black Mirror could run. I had to watch that show with the lights on 😭

AI system resorts to blackmail if told it will be removed In a fictional scenario, the model was willing to expose that the engineer seeking to replace it was having an affair.
