So it's ok to assassinate the leaders of other nations. Right. Got it.

not catching the reference.

solution: get off of X.

Why would anyone write something so ridiculous?

One day in the future, this is going to hang on the wall of a museum exhibit people visit in silence.

please define the opportunity.

keep hammering on this, please.

so says the South African....

what an awful world they are building, with us having no say-so.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Excellent reckoning from @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

What I don't understand is that if he's right, it's an argument against AI. Why would we want to replace ourselves? So we can sit around and do nothing?

you've been thumping on this for a while. I was looking for a response! 😃

such evil.

Correct, but it misses a conclusion:

1. Life changing fast because of technological development.
2. People mindlessly assume that continued technological development is an unalloyed good. It isn't. Social media has been a net loss. AI has been as well.
3. We need to limit tech development.

Opinion | This Is Not a Drill

Consider this column to be something like a fire drill. "It’s an alarm, one of thousands that should be ringing across the country. MAGA’s acts of aggression are already intimidating. Trump isn’t just trying to “stop the steal” again; another kind of theft might already be underway."

Trump's showing signs of slipping, even with Republicans:

Only 66% of Rs are extremely/somewhat confident Trump has the mental fitness to do the job.

Only 52% of Rs say Trump respects our country's democratic values.

Only 42% of Rs say Trump acts ethically in office.

We have different senses of the target audience here. Universities aren't being attacked by low-income people or people of color, but rather by elites. How to better serve these groups is another issue.

I don't think this is a good read. Brooks is no scholar, and I find him to be anodyne sometimes. But he's been better over the last year or two, and his piece about neocons in last month's Atlantic was smart. More to the point, he has credibility with audiences that need to be reached.

who is she?

excellent point.
