"Men are disturbed not by events, but by the view that they take of them"

Epictetus

I have one. Voters make decisions based on the ideas in their heads and their beliefs about the world, and those ideas and beliefs are heavily shaped by their social interactions, especially media consumption, and in the last 20 years most media consumption is from social media's sea of lies.

I don't think center left or left or center pundits have put forward a single coherent explanation of the 2016 election following the 2024 election as literally all of their theories of the 2016 election were disproven by the Biden term.

I believe it... Although it seems for you they just shut down the conversation in its entirety, but redirected me to the earlier model

Also, as I'm a non specialist in this area, are there particular applications of this knowledge that might be especially problematic?

So just for comparison purposes, I decided to put the same question to Claude.. initially I got the safety flag you see, which I had never received before

But when I switched to the other model it gave me the answer without issue

Curious as to what's distinct between our model experiences

Also, Potholders are pointless... Cumbersome, bulky, and useless for any other role in the kitchen. Get a bag of 20 bar towels for like $25, and use them for everything. They're the dish towel, they're for drying, AND...they're the potholder! And they're cheap! Gets dirty, swap it out! Don't worry!

Find a spatula that costs $2.69 and get five of them. You don't want to have to be messing around cleaning one in the middle of a task if you need it for a different thing. Just toss it in the sink and grab a second one. Get multiple cutting boards, extra mixing spoons...and you'll still spend less!

Honestly, get multiples of cheap things and workflow will improve more easily than it ever could with one expensive thing. Get multiples of ever main knife, a dozen cheap steel mixing bowls, simple aluminum fry pans. Quantity of equipment is more of a constraint than quality for most any home cook!

I don't know about "Cheugy," but I will never stop reminding people that they are almost certainly overpaying for most of their kitchen equipment. Go to a restaurant supply store and get some cheap workhorse stuff. It will be durable, it will be good, it will be cheap! You can buy multiples!

Le Creuset is Cheugy 👎
NY Mag instagram post showing a headline “Le Creuset is Cheugy” and then below that “Why does a collection of $400 pots suddenly look so cheap?” with a big thumbs down in the foreground and lots of ceramic pots in the background

Charlie Chaplin knew it 85 years ago ... you have to mock the fascists. It is much harder for them to terrify you if you see them as ridiculous

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

This brilliant guy -- Judge Holden, they call him -- he says, have you heard this? War is god. War is god. Isn't that something? Tremendous judge, by the way, and some say our finest. Maybe -- who knows? -- maybe one day he'll be on the Supreme Court. But war is god. Anyway, we're looking into it.

many ppl are saying - have you heard this yet? it’s true - many people are saying that life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. it’s true. you’re hearing it more and more.

This is a land of wolves now? Wow. I didn’t know that. You’re just now telling me for the first time. The rule of law lived an amazing life. What can you even say?

So basically, in this analogy, Trump II is an extended, coercive effort to assert the Crittenden compromise?

Might feel like an inversion of the Civil War, but less than you might think. The federal government was thoroughly in the hands of the Slave Power in the 1850s. States resisted the Fugitive Slave Act; Dred Scott was SCOTUS. Secession happened b/c they wouldn't accept losing that control in 1860.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Ancient China had quite a concise and well-known opinion about the relative difficulties of terrible government and tigers... @bokane.org probably has the full story on that one

I mean Bob Dylan won an actual Literature Nobel... I think he'd have a reasonable shot at the title, no?

Just living? Not currently active? There's are plenty of living lyricists in their 70s and 80s who are just leagues ahead of Swift on this one....

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

A version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's loved-and-loathed musical “Cats,” will transfer to Broadway this spring. The reimagined “Jellicle Ball” is set in the underground ballroom scene, a queer subculture built around dance competitions.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.
