"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Okay, so the unique value proposition of Grok is that it will allow you to be meaner to people at parties you'll never get invited to because everyone hates you already.

Certainly seems worth hooking up all those gas turbines to the DC to operate
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

One of the main ways that "gen AI" bullshit and the bullshitters attendant thereto have fucked everything for everyone is that they fully succeeded in their attempts to obfuscate and occult what "AI" means, so now people hate the very concept structure of the term, even down to its far less bad uses

Seems like they under indexed on “Humanity” and over indexed on “Tools“ tbqh
“The Sam Altman-founded company behind the ‘Orb,’ a volleyball-sized metal sphere that scans irises to prove people's humanity, had a message for employees: work weekends and ignore anything outside your job — for the good of humanity.”
Sam Altman's eye-scanning Orb startup told workers not to care about anything outside work
Tools for Humanity CEO Alex Blania said that "if you should care about something else, and if you want something else, you should just not be here."

This interview feels like a tremendous missed opportunity: it reads like an airing of talking points, rather than properly interrogating a billionaire donor who’s comfortable slapping some nice fonts on openly fascist policies: www.dezeen.com/2025/11/18/a...

Guys, is the Tenth Amendment woke???
Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"

Hey, finally an answer to "is there a figure that's too unsavory for OpenAI?"

This is the first sign to me that the Epstein files are actually going to take powerful people down. Good start, at least.

I haven't heard the Seattle Police Officers Guild reaction to Katie Wilson becoming mayor, but given the priors I am guessing they'll be calling her the most dangerous leftist since Subcomandante Marcos, and then immediately demanding unlimited OT to do security for T-ball games.

I'm struggling to understand in what universe plucking paying tenants off the street and deporting them is good for any part of the economy, but stating matter-of-factly that it'll drive down rents is some underpants-gnomes, voodoo economics bullshit
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Gonna use my one "this Republican has a point" of this term of Congress on this
Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"
