This actually isn’t surprising in the slightest from an American POV. The only people trying to actually learn from this war are like Mike kofman, Rob Lee, 4 rando freelancers, and 7 people on here

And my broader point in *this* thread ("The Democrats are, point in fact, a center-left party by global standards") is being rejected because it invalidates like 40% of the remaining discourse, as well as the European continent's wholly unearned superiority complex.

also not the point but 99% of people are not going to go through the hassle of installing a local model that sucks worse than the remotely hosted ones without a bunch of fiddling around. this is the β€œjust install linux” of genAI

And the whole anti-licensing crusade comes from not understanding why certain professions need to be licensed in the first place.

Here is a list of everybody Miami (OH) TRIED to schedule in men's basketball this season Don't blame the Redhawks for not having enough big names on their schedule. They tried to add plenty of them...and I've got the proof.

Today’s @mattbrown.bsky.social newsletter might be the clearest, most useful demonstration of the power dynamics in college basketball (and college sports in general) that I’ve ever seen.

Schools in power conferences exclude everybody else, and then blame them for their own exclusion

We finally got a Virginia Supreme Court ruling!

Confirmation redistricting referendum is happening

Early voting starts this Friday

Essentially a shadow docket ruling and not on final merits

But highest court in Virginia will let voters go to the polls

I got into politics in the early 00s, and one thing that getting into politics makes you realize is that people who don't believe in anything will assuage their own discomfort by telling themselves that no one else believes in anything either.

You might say it's a problem that exists in Abundance.

I remain astounded that they keep falling into the rhetorical trap, because they think it is smart and tough, when there clearly is no indication that they actually will use ground forces at scale whatsoever
