Taking on a bit of debt to buy an EV while jumping into solo practice seemed indulgent at the time

like i said this when the US attacked venezuela. we are hurdling back into an extremely violent world, one which hasn't really existed since the 1700s and which nobody since hitler has really tried to enact. and it's entirely on trump's hands

It is always fascinating to me when people don’t seem to realize how far off the deep end we are.

Grammarly's presentation of something they call Expert Review, including my name (plus Stephen King's, plus Mary Norris's), though to be sure I've never been contacted by Grammarly, much less compensated.

Well if this ain't just the 10th amendment fact pattern from hell. I don't see how the federal government can require a state to continue permitting someone to practice before its own courts consistent with the principle of divided sovereignty. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-04390.p...

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

A tweet from Eleanor Klibanoff saying, "The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily BLOCKED a Dallas judge’s order to keep the polls open til 9, ordering the county to separate out votes from people who were not in line at 7pm. 

Not a final ruling, but will create chaos in getting results from Dallas County"

Wow. If any races in Dallas County are super tight, this will be a huge legal fight as thousands of votes hang in purgatory.

this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever

transcript of a NYT podcast ad: This is A.G. Sulzberger. I’m the publisher of The New York Times. I oversee our news operations and our business. But I’m also a former reporter who has watched with a lot of alarm as our profession has shrunk and shrunk in recent years. Normally, in these ads, we talk about the importance of subscribing to the Times. I’m here today with a different message. I’m encouraging you to support any news organization that’s dedicated to original reporting. If that’s your local newspaper, terrific β€” local newspapers in particular need your support. If that’s another national newspaper, that’s great too.

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom.

In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

Grok answer yes, ChatGPT no, Gemini gives mushy "valid arguments on both sides," Claude refuses to take a side in "an ongoing political debate."

Notable how all four LLMs failed to provide a useful answer, much less an expert-level one. They didn't even provide info to help the user. Grok & ChatGPT wrongly accepted the simplified yes/no framing. Gemini gave a mushy both-sides. Claude refused to discuss "politics."

These are toys, not tools.

I met a girl in a bar once who had a vaguely British accent

Me: Where are you from?
Her: Jersey
Me: I doubt it
Her: Why?
Me: Your accent
Her: *glares*

three days later...
Me: Oh I'm an IDIOT
