its a grad student lounge bong rip thought experiment that people have taken far too seriously
I find the fermi paradox obsession a little puzzling. We only very recently became capable of tracking NEOs and picking up interstellar objects, and if life/civilization is commonplace enough, it's probably pretty boring

I’m confused, why aren’t media outlets still focused on that vital issue of urgent social importance, Zohran referring to a family member as an Auntie? Isn’t this something they assured us was essential to cover for the public good? How come they’re not following up on this issue of public safety?

It it always worth remembering that this government is only transphobic because it wants to be.
It's worth noting that the Government has a massive majority and could fix this in an instant with a one-line piece of legislation. It doesn't want to.

The refusal to consider DC Statehood is largely a reluctance to give DC two Senators, which itself is a tacit admission that the United States Senate is an anti-democratic institution.
Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

I do think that the ecological damage argument against genAI is not sufficient on it's own, especially when we just let pass all sorts of other egregious problems, like the carbon footprint of vacation cruise liners.
You also have to pair it with "it doesn't work and only loses money."
