Sorry I'll make sure to stick to "Amerikkkans" going forward
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

how much time in total has the non roundness of barcodes cost us
there were seven finalists that made it to the standards committee
3 of the 7 were round, so the scanner could scan from any angle
but IBM proposed the boring square barcode and they were so huge that they won the selection process

Direct action is not designed as spectacle for media consumption, unlike large peaceful protests which are, deliberately, a spectacle.
The editorial desks at major media outlets are incapable of grasping the difference. Direct action scares institutions because it threatens the order they sit atop.

it's funny the alignment folks hold themselves to be consequentialist but in reality have no concern for actual consequences, in practice alignment amounts to a mix of corporate ass-covering and imbuing the models with the narrow subset of virtues u can have w/o saying anything politically charged

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

he and Trump enjoy a form of omerta. The media does not saturate coverage with all of the bizarre and depraved things they do, in large part because the people who now own it have either passively or actively aligned themselves with Musk and Trump…..however in spite of softball, both are unpopular
It's really stupid, but it just really pisses me off that he says shit like this every day and the media won't report on it. You would really think "World's Richest Man is a Nazi" would be generate clicks.
