Trip

Mammalian vibing response

I tried to whistle over a stray cat in my neighborhood and a woman walked by, who I worried thought I whistled at her. So I said “im whistling at the cat” but when I looked back down at it I realized it was just an old fast food bag

Two posts asking whether university administrators have thought about the consequences of purchasing and promoting AI for college campuses given a well documented college mental health crisis, and pointing out that university investment and endorsement may signal to students that dangerous technology is safe and beneficial

since chatgpt has coached another young person in a mental health crisis to their death, I am yet again tapping the sign

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

All I want is one single reporter to ask him if he thinks people seeking asylum = means from insane asylums

In the months after Harris’ loss, much was made over the demographic shifts in the party. Young voters, Hispanic voters and Black voters — all central to the Democratic coalition — had moved substantially to the right. But Priorities’ post-election polling revealed an equally staggering swing: Between 2020 and 2024, people who consumed at least three hours of YouTube a day had moved 10 points toward Trump — a bigger swing than Black voters, Black men, young voters and a slew of other categories that were dominating headlines. “The driver of behavior in ‘24 was so much more about your media consumption,” Butterfield said.

Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

I’m pretty sure the entire bar at The Porter is going to see The Sword tonight

It’s obviously a sympathetic audience on here, but everything about this makes no sense to me. Deciding this is the asset class where you’ll make a fortune, and then once you have 10x an enormous fortune, continuing to bet huge — what’s the thought process? You trying to buy a hockey team?

This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

heggseth's weird podcast rant (delivered to 800 generals and admirals for some reason) is just another sign of how this is a tv presidency. they don't really know how to do policy. their instinct is theater. encounter a problem? put on a spectacle
