The American dream is greeting a stray cat outside of a diner with your good pal on a cold winter night, and then heading inside to warm up with a cup of coffee while you eat pie and catch up.

actually,,,

I CAN probably explain it to y'all. I explained part of it in the worst perfect game essay (🎁 defector.com/the-perfect-...). I'd like to write a longer version of that. if you're an agent who might be interested in a book like that, lmk; DMs open etc
I honestly cannot explain to y'all how much it fucking sucks to not be taken seriously or thought of as a good writer by an entire industry for doing the right thing and "saying the quiet part out loud" while literally a man who didn't really apologize to any of his victims gets a book deal

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

it’s vitally important for the future of this country that this wildly unpopular administration is tied directly to its enablers in congress and the courts and used to discredit the entire conservative movement

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

European political scientists are blue in the face from constantly pointing out that accommodating the far right does not help centre-left parties win, and contributes to the rise of far-right parties. There's a mountain of data to support that.

But no, the galaxy-brained strategists must be right.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

A fun thing about the Biblical flood story is that most every culture that lived anywhere near an ocean 10,000 years ago has a flood story; they're clearly all cultural memories of sea level rise in the wake of the melting of the Wisconsin glaciation; and credulous rubes ignore how cool that is.
The Today Show is currently giving a credulous report on researchers maybe "discovering" Noah's Ark. Like, the one from the Bible. A breathless, big-if-true report in which the principle "researcher" is quoting Genesis and the reporter is acting like the biblical flood story is a factual account.

So far as I've been able to tell, Talarico is that rarest of things: a genuinely faithful Christian (rather than a follower of the Americanist Heresy) in politics. He's absolutely worth donating to.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.
