Sex machine. Funny man.
It's vogue right now to say that AI inevitability is a rhetorical dodge. They point to past exuberances as evidence that the stuff we call AI can and should fail. Tech exuberance always fails. The hype is always bullshit. But the tech, as it exists, and is propagating wildly, that's here to stay.

Love, romantic love in particular, is so terrifying if you don't know what it is, if you're just guessing at it from what stories have told you. So many arbitrary rules, so many unknowns. If it happens, and you can see it for what it is, why it binds people together, you'll never be the same.

Anyway, it's not like there's a recent test case for "America wants to see a Bari Weiss-produced debate where Ross Douthat debates America's need for God" OH WAIT YES THERE IS, IT WAS NINE MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS 32,000 VIEWS.

I like the phrase "pearls before swine" because it's like "pigs don't understand the inherent value of oyster boogers?! the fools!" Meanwhile pigs busy just eatin' all day and having thirty-minute orgasms like WHAT OINK 🐷

I'm not a scholar, I have no data, but an idea has suddenly gripped me. Everyone is fighting to define the next cultural revolution, but I think we're already in the midst of it, and most of us are too distracted by all the chaos to recognize what's already happening.

Fantastic and timeless essay from @jkuznicki.bsky.social at @liberalcurrents.com today. Nationalism (especially ethno-) is a fraud, because in reality history is a sequence of bloody conquests, and we are all the descendants of both victors *and* vanquished.
They Were All Our Ancestors
Nationalism chooses sides in the most awful family drama of all time. It sides with the evildoers, and never with their victims, and teaches you to do the same.

The market will correct itself when consumer-facing AI fails to generate the kinds of returns that can be made from selling hardware or resources, but the goose is already cooked. Data centers are about so much more than chatbots. The dot com bubble burst, but think about everything that followed.

Just found out my 14-year old nephew was murdered. We weren't close, but he lives in my mind as a rowdy little kid opening presents on Christmas. Shitty parents. Gone before he even had a chance. I had hoped to do more for him when he got older. Forge a relationship. But now that door is closed.

Virginia Democrats have flipped back the governorship.
And this likely means they'll control the state government for the next two years, as things look to be going their way in the state House.
That's the gain of a trifecta.

RESULT: Abigail Spanberger has been elected governor of Virginia, the AP has just called.
Her win flips this office for Democrats.
Virginia’s other statewide elections, for lieutenant governor and attorney general, have not yet been called at this time.
