if you never used llm coding tools, you should know: this is either manufactured for bait, or this person is the "holding-it-wrongest" user on the planet there's simply no benefit to not knowing the actual state of the thing you want to fight against. it is, in fact, a detriment.

i don't even think llm text output is like molded plastic, which has a lot of genuine use cases, in some cases superior to other materials there are probably a few places where llm text output is better than nothing but i don't think there are any where it's better than human
Just confirmed: the MO-2 of 2026 is *supposed* to be solid GOP/Dixiecrat/Neo-Nazi. Everywhere I ever lived in and around St. Louis is now MO-1, one of the bluest districts in the country. But I had a bunch of family & friends in those hinterlands & I'm tickled pink that they may get a Democrat.
Nate Silver is showing my race as the most competitive in the United States today. We have steadily grown our race and now we are 8 days away. Would love your help to take us across the finish line.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Roose does a very nice job signaling in the second paragraph what sort of book this will be. He decided to write it the night after partying with ketamine-snorting effective accelerationists. He isn’t e/acc himself, but he hangs with that crowd and accepts their premises as newsworthy,

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."
They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Seriously fellow gringos, do y’all not grasp what’s happening in Latin America? You should. If you follow me you’re probably even someone who can find South America on a map.
Many Americans reacting to this with "I hope this doesn't happen to us in November" and like, no you dumb fucks he's saying this shit because he wants to give YOUR GOVERNMENT cover to interfere further.
