I think you should let an LLM develop this, uh, business plan, for you, if things go sideways, just blame the robot. You've got the right avatar already, too.

Different field, but in lily (genus lilium) breeding/culture, infertile wide diploid crosses can become fertile if made tetraploid. At the time, this was done by preparing a mixture of DMSO and colchicine, applied to tiny scales taken from lily bulbs, often in a home kitchen.

We keep being told that the
perpetrators of the Huntingdon
abomination are "British-born". OK.
So were the killers at Woolwich
barracks, Southport, Tavistock Square,
Westminster Bridge, Manchester
arena, London Bridge etc etc.
If you insist on denying that this has
anything to do with immigration policy,
I'm afraid you are not arguing in good
faith.

"People like Merrick Garland think that they’re eschewing politics. The reality is the opposite: The careful avoidance of anything that appears political is itself a political act. It is a performance, intended to convey to your audience that you are neutral and unbiased. It’s institutional PR."

I built a tool that used rules like that on Twitter and it worked astonishingly well, found fascists in other countries speaking other languages. Crucially, it also paid attention to who the people I followed, themselves follow, and also scored words in profiles.

Intent doesn't matter. Using follows-terrible-people patterns is a great heuristic for improving one's social media experience. Yes, there will be some false positives, but the internet is a huge place, you can't communicate with everyone anyway.

One of the reasons Democrats hate their own elected officials is that Trump is literally having a "We're rich and you're not" party while he cuts SNAP and keeps the government shut down because of the Epstein Files and Dems still lose the messaging war somehow. It's insane, really.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Skeletons usually sit dormant for 91% of the year. In this faltering economy, you need your skeleton to be generating joy during transitional & off-peak times. Asset managers looking to beat expected scare earnings estimates need to find creative synergies to drive utilization higher in H1 2026.

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.

It is also insulting as hell to advocate for a tax on endowments while continuing to hand out tax breaks and funding to private businesses.

UK newspaper editor calls Bill de Blasio fake interview blunder β€˜humiliating’ A Times associate editor reportedly addressed situation in an email to staff, saying: β€˜We should have been on our guard’

> β€œIt was later reported […] that the person with whom [the journalist] corresponded was not an outright imposter, but a different person who happened to share a name with the former New York City mayor. […] The person […] was Long Island, New York, wine importer Bill DeBlasio.”

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.

We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

it's part demographic -- some strongly liberal/left voting groups also die younger (black, e.g.) and that takes them out of the pool. I would guess also that a lifetime of conservative propaganda has an effect on some people; we're really embedded in it.
