I can't emphasize enough how so many automated processes are like this. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, unless they've been carefully examined to make sure they work. And all this so-called AI is going to turbocharge such bullshit problems with computers of all kinds.

Fun fact: it takes fewer votes to impeach and remove the president than to override a veto.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Kinda surprised the Denver airport doesn't have a Chili's, since it's a major hub and "getting wasted at the airport Chili's on a layover" is like THE stereotype of exhausted business travelers

I can't stress enough how counterproductive it is for campaign sites to hit visitors with a donation pop-up they have to close before they can see anything. A week out, most visits to these pages are voters trying to make up their minds.

After much research I have perfected the theory of "AI as the One Ring". All AI techbros consistently fall under: - Knows it's bad, thinks they're just built different - Thinks it's inevitable and switches sides w/ no morals - Thinks it's his magic girlfriend - Evil CEO ruling over the rest of them

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

Yeah start insinuating he has morning chai rather than coffee, say that he knocks things for 6 rather than hits a home run, allege that he is generally a clean living good boy who loves his mother and prays every Friday (pejorative).

Repetitive tacticle activity + very obvious progress + satisfaction at having made a thing that would've just sat there as a pile of parts / supplies / etc if you weren't there

Crafting — which includes knitting, pottery and jewelry-making — attracts some people because of the mental health benefits of a soothing, repetitive motion. A large survey found a strong association between frequent knitting and feeling “calm and happy.”

Guessing it was just Culver's expanding further and further out of the Midwest, but it's funny how they're popping up on restaurant menus far outside Wisconsin now

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

So I realize this isn't a 1-to-1 comparison, but one of the portents that Trump was going to win in 2016 was Brexit getting passed. I sincerely, legitimately feel that the wins in Serbia and Brazil are similarly portentous for the midterms.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.
