Lock Burgum in a room with ten cubic feet of dry ice and activate the sprinkler system - then ask him an hour later if he thinks CO2 is a pollutant.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

NUMTOT was where I learned "oh, actually, if somebody is using Activist Standard English, you don't HAVE to immediately assume intelligence or good faith, you should actually interrogate what they're saying a little more"

Q: Do you still feel comfortable working with Lutnick after the new ties to Epstein were revealed?

HASSETT: Secretary Lutnick is one of my best friends in the whole wide world so I'm very comfortable working with him

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Germany had like, 150 years of being considered the world's best place to do science and math.

Hitler shot that reputation in the face literally the moment he came to power.

Tom Kean Jr. voted with Republicans to shield Trump’s tariffs from accountability. Tariffs raise prices for all of us, and he tried to block Congress from even challenging them. All while your family foots the bill.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I also don't know what the Gallup CEO is thinking. What is he going to say when testifying to Congress in a year? Is he going to take the Fifth? Commit perjury? Get charged with contempt?

It should be a non-negotiable condition to Democratic votes on any further appropriations bills that the president be stripped of access to the courts.
"When asked by The Hill if Gallup had received any feedback from the White House or anyone in the current administration before making the decision, the spokesperson said, “this is a strategic shift solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities.” "

That's very not a "no"

“WHY CAN’T I HAVE BESSENT’S JOB INSTEAD?!?” she shouted, sobbing
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

A lot of low level accounting jobs are essentially human control points to prevent fraud, they haven't been automated not because it's impossible but because the amount of fraud you can commit against a fully automated purchasing system is basically unlimited

Stop anthropomorphizing the word prediction algorithm. It is synthesizing things humans previously said to predict what a human would say in a given situation. It is not thinking. Any meaning behind its words is imposed from without by human users, not generated from within like human thought.

One thing about concentration camps, which is what ICE is running, is that the torture of detainees can routinely occur without even active malice: laziness and lack of training will spontaneously create food and clothing inadequacy and dangerous medical neglect.
