But these AI fucks don't want to do any of that: they don't want to go through the process of learning, of developing skills, of cultivating the ability to see what is in light of what can be. They think this process is archaic, outmoded, something that can be replaced with a tool.

Let's not forget that this seat was vacant because Islamaphobic Democrats wouldn't let Biden's appointee be confirmed. And Schumer let the clock run out.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

I'm about to do it. I'm about to say "imagine if Biden did this." I don't want to but I must, because it'd be very funny. Imagine if Biden said his uncle told him how brilliant the Unabomber was a decade before he was identified. Imagine the very funny NYT push notification you'd get on your phone.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

GOP Lawmakers Watch Silently As Trump Strangles Each Of Their Loved Ones In Turn WASHINGTONโ€”Opting to take more of a wait-and-see approach instead of rushing to pass judgment, Republican lawmakers reportedly looked on in silence Tuesday as President Trump worked his way through each of their families and, one by one, strangled all their loved ones to death. โ€œAfter I watched the president slowly and methodically squeeze the life out of my wifeโ€™s body as she gasped, futilely, for breath, he gave me his personal assurance that he was not responsible for her death, so I continue to stand by this administration,โ€ said Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), who along with every Republican in both the House and Senate stated that while killing off their families in cold blood might not be entirely proper, it was certainly not an impeachable offense, no matter how the media tried to spin it. โ€œNow, this is not an action I would have taken myself. I personally would not have wrapped my hands around my 5-year-old sonโ€™s neck and crushed his windpipe. But if Donald Trumpโ€™s approach to governing is sometimes a bit outside the ordinary, thatโ€™s because Donald Trump is no ordinary president. And maybe thatโ€™s not such a bad thing.โ€ Later, with his beloved sisterโ€™s face turning purple as the commander-in-chief asphyxiated her with a length of barbed wire, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on several television news networks and said impeaching the president for her imminent death would be โ€œinsane.โ€
