He may be thinking that it's safe seat to run a special election in. That's where it gets interesting. Tennessee seems to have been safe for a while, but is it this year?

How about having 10% of them randomly de-selected?

Not that MAGA learns from mistakes much but I think they might be across that one. Still be interesting to see how the vacancy gets filled.

Does giving him this job create a vacancy in the Senate?

Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.

You will never regret opposing a war Because wars destroy human beings, and we are meant for more than destruction

I don't hate this war because it wasn't "authorized properly," or because I am not a fan of the specific President waging it. I hate this war because it is a war.

Well, see, we have a leader who is a qualified lawyer.

As opposed to one who is a convicted criminal.

What if we told all the petrostate oligarchs trying desperately to prop up the profit margins of an obsolete technology--and who are willing to kill uncounted children to do it--that they could just retrain for a new economy?

Meanwhile, in Ireland, I'm looking at my EU-standard driving licence which doesn't have my gender on it at all. I mean, why would it? Are there cars that only men can drive?

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

I’m kind of Ok with Elon being guillotined and his stuff becoming public property. Is that what he’s offering? I’m not insisting on the guillotining but the public property bit is must have.

β€œGreat Man” theories of history may have been wrong but β€œThat F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.

Book recommendation: There is No Antimemetics Division by qntm.

Possibly the most terrifying book I’ve read since I was a child. The things we forget are as much a part of who we are as the things we remember. And how do you save us from something that stops us perceiving it?

Absolute mindfuck

Most US voters didn't vote for Trump. Not enough voted for someone else, of course, but a majority of the US population is being hit with stuff they didn't vote for. That no-one, not even delusional MAGA fanbois, voted for.

I really, really hope they’ve done something achingly creative with their β€œOpen/Closed” sign.

We won’t know if it works til we try it and it’s not like it’s going to hurt a large number of people if it doesn’t work.

That antique show reference got me thinking about how many people will keep them thinking everyone else will throw them out.

You mean we'll get a chance to miss out on the futurist hellscape that the billionaires think they'll rule? Stop threatening me with a bucolically pleasant time, George.
