The English Revolution was in no small part sparked by King Charles I routing around parliament to find everything he wanted through non/legislative means, despite that being why Parliament exists. Over a century later, American colonists aware of this explicitly gave their Congress power to stop it

This is the fucking Prussian constitutional crisis. If you let them fund the military without Congressional authorization you've just given up on constitutional government. Congress is a dead letter.

Unfortunately this is holding up

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

it's not FOR us

Mariners win

The self-pity in this set of paragraphs is remarkable.

Holy shit is that Mariners game still going?????

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

peter thiel (clutching chrome plated human skull) tell me oracle... does the world end in fire, or ice? the passionate flames of the activist thunberg, or the frozen doom yudkowski demands?

chatGPT: ✨ What a great question, Peter! ✨

“wow”

lol, i figured out what happened. The zoom update was defaulting my scheduled meetings to "offline" (so that I can use zoom to schedule in person meetings??), which is why it wasn't generating a link.

i don't want to have to ask for every podcast guest's email, especially if we've been corresponding on discord or through twitter/bluesky DMs. Maybe I'm just in the minority and most people don't use it that way, but it seems like a feature some people would still find useful?

why did zoom update so that i can't copy an invite link for a scheduled zoom call? what's the point of that? it only lets me invite using someone's email. I can't get an invite link unless I've launched the call already (unless it's buried somewhere now).

This man refuses to let me down

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I’m not body shaming but I’m also honest this Texas boy is gonna roll through Portillo’s once and switch allegiances
