The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Can someone explain to me why this is any different from the “???” in the underpants gnomes’ scheme?

[screenshot of a paragraph of text]
At the outer limit of MET's time horizon is the 40- hour standard human workweek. An A.I. that could consistently complete a week of work at a time could probably find work as a full-time software engineer. Ms. Von Arx told me that, at first, the A.I. would perform like "an intern," making mistakes and requiring constant supervision. Quickly, she believes, it would improve, and might soon start augmenting its own capabilities. [highlighted text begins here] From here, it might undergo a discontinuous jump, leading to a sharp increase in intelligence. [highlighted text ends here] According to METR's trendline, the workweek threshold for a successful completion rate of half of the tasks will
be crossed sometime in late 2027 or early 2028.

Canonically the reason that the people who employ Amelia Bedelia don't fire her is because she's a really great chef despite fucking up their house all day every day and I would love to see THE BEAR but it's about Amelia Bedelia

Bring back excommunications or this is just a flame war.

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

In the words of the great Sidney Morgenbesser, "nu, if they'd made an award like that you'd still be complaining"

Not that long ago, the Nobel was fun. It was a topic of metaphorical watercooler conversations (metaphorical because the watercooler industry cratered after the rise of “alternative seltzers” and also because nearly everyone who cared about it was unemployed) and metaphorical drawing-room chatter (metaphorical because the only people who can afford drawing rooms are venture capitalists who have lost the ability to communicate verbally). In a given year, the prize could be won by an oral historian whose work was necessarily given over to the voices of other people; a writer whose perspective on Serbian culpability in the 1990s was more avant-garde than his boundary-shifting prose; and a self-described “song and dance man” whose first and third-eldest sons produced arguably more deserving work (How High and “One Headlight,” respectively).
