Separately, it is hilarious that the an LLM trained on millions of American history books/articles is like “no President would ever demolish the East Wing that’s fuckin bananas. Come back to me with something realistic.” Welcome to 2025, Claude.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Anyone here with political aspirations, please take note. We live in an era, policy-wise where there is such a dearth of humanity that if you simply allow basic fundamental baby-brained levels of human decency to guide your policy it’s like 99% certain you’ll be goddamn Superman to the average voter

I agree this is a distinct possibility given the swings we’re seeing this year. A +10 R district is unlikely to be safe. But go off.

It's not hypocrisy, it's power.

This is absolutely hilarious and unnecessary and I will definitely watch the first episode.

2025 RFS Red to Blue MEET THE 2025 RFS ALUMS THAT FLIPPED 43 SEATS! As we watched election results roll in on November 4 (and in some cases, in the weeks that followed), we remembered how good it feels to win – and more s...

Historian here it’s Hannah Arendt’s death anniversary and she was of course prescient.

The whole thing is exquisite. All you’ve said about Glenn Close. And John Malkovich, who is not a traditionally beautiful man & plays the Viscount with an irreverent flounce, practically melts the screen in every scene. It’s a wonder work of a film.

it rules that every day now is just watching everything in your life get more expensive and worse and then also constantly being told that nothing is more expensive or worse

This choice is only looming because they’ve nearly run out of (free/stolen) human data they can use to train it and they are hoping that by 2030 the machines will be able to consume their own slop and produce something other than utter nonsense that is completely useless and unintelligible.

Are you paying attention?

Baby bonds: unlike Trump accounts, receive $1000 at birth and “continue to receive additional deposits from the government every year, progressively scaled to family income … At age 18, young adults…

“Trump accounts are structured to benefit primarily more affluent families — those who already have money to invest. For those struggling to put food on the table or afford a doctor’s visit, the choice isn’t between consumption and investment — it’s between groceries and medicine.”

Opinion | ‘Trump accounts’ will save kids? Republicans can’t be serious. Baby bonds are a wealth-building tool that’s inclusive, equitable and grounded in solid economics.

The “Trump Accounts” proposal is a bastardized version of an actually transformative idea - Baby Bonds - a universal benefit - long championed by economist Darrick Hamilton. Read about it below.
