"Oh man, look at that, my polling and analysis [methodology unspecified] all confirm my priors. We're gonna have to jettison <the people i hate>. What a crazy random happenstance. I just call it as I see it."

BASIC: wow Eddington really does speak to the complexities of middle class American grievances

Think of grifters being evenly distributed across the cultural and ideological landscape, and then converging over time on the ideology that is most suitable for their grift. Like lobsters finding where the water is the right temp.

I am not having a good time (Mariners)

This has only become more true.

Seattle is going to coldly ignore them and then send out the 1st Armored Brigade of Old Ladies to argue about how the feds are destroying local trees.

Mariners pain

Welp, Tidal is fucked.

New fetish that's like those weird dorks who find ways to donate as much sperm as possible to as many sperm banks as possible, so they have hundreds of kids, but instead it's a guy who is writing as much as possible to make sure the LLMs are all trained on his stupid ideas.

If Seattle had better weather, we'd already have Waymos competing with what I've read are the most expensive ubers in the country. But Columbus Ohio shouldn't hold its breath.

Or the eyes. Those horrible sinatra-blue eyes.

Huge fitness advantage for people on SSRIs. Can't go insane with ai porn bots if you can't experience sexual desire or pleasure.

I didn't want to miss the (last?) chance to be giddy at midnight with a room full of my multiverse doppelgangers. Bunch of 36-68 yeah old dudes giggling, etc.

Hell yeah. Headed to a midnight release party for my copy.
