Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

Remember: If you are a billionaire, a wealth tax and cap are for your *own protection.* The income tax rate at the end of a pitchfork is 100%.

Stanislav Petrov - Wikipedia

I keep thinking of Stanislav Petrov. If that malfunctioning Soviet early warning system had been one of these AIs, the world would be a smoking ruin right now.

The revanchists in the Iowa legislature are gleefully destroying education, which used to be Iowa's crown jewel. From k-12 through higher ed, one of the country's best educational systems is being gutted by small, scared white men, who don't even comprehend this is no more than a murder-suicide (1/)

Is learning really comparable to doing the labor of a beast of burden? Is it possibly a good in itself? Did horses primarily become “more free” after the introduction of the automobile? Was there a lot of equine rewilding? Did they instead become equally domesticated but far less numerous?

Imagine if a lefty law prof said this in support of a local anarchist group and I think you’ll get a sense of my reaction

Enough can’t be said about how “machine-learning” simply reiterates the anti-blackness of tech bros and their ilk. And that includes the violence of disregard: “oh, we didn’t anticipate that as a possible problem.” That’s racist too.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

“Do you know how to read?”
“No. It is one of the black arts.”
He nodded. “But a useful one,” he said.

imagine building a perfectly useful technology that could even actually change the world for the better while also making a ton of money and instead of using it to do that, you decide the first use case should be “cognitive harm generator that’s also a global recession machine”

the sort of information environment where you wish the FAA was not run by a contestant on the Real World, the Department of Defense by a Fox and Friends drunk, and DHS by Corey Lewandowski

The moral earnestness of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" feels a lot more subversive than anything ever attempted in "Game of Thrones."

“There is no conceivable degree of institutional incompetence sufficient to explain the scale, consistency, and persistence of the failures that occurred —particularly where the sole task ordered by the Court and repeatedly emphasized by DOJ was simple: redact known victim names before publication,”

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

I’ve got the perfect Hollywood movie idea for the #Seahawks

Sign Marshawn Lynch to a 1 day contract for the Super Bowl and let him run a 1 yard TD against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
