I should probably do this after caffeine but fuck it.
We're seeing a lot of horrible things come to fruition at once that have been *most of my life* in the making and I am not young. I'm seeing a lot of "I won't vote for anyone who can't fix X" when X was set in motion in the 80s, Or the 40s.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

Also like, I know documentarians generally stay out of whatever is happening but literally filming a child being sexually assaulted has to be a bridge too far, right? Was it his footage or did he just repost it? Either way, ban was appropriate!!!

Okay but why the fuuuuuuck would someone post literal CSAM? Like ... I get the documentation of horrors, but why did he think fucking _Twitter_ was the place to put it unless he just fundamentally has no empathy for the victim as a _child_. He re-victimized him by posting it!!!

LLMs are useless for lawyering and other tasks involving actual analysis and understanding not because the technology hasn't gotten there yet, but because that's fundamentally not what statistical word association is capable of doing. Not only can't it understand, it's not even trying to understand.

There is drama right now between him and Taylor Swift and far be it from me to defend Swift but it's very cringe inducing hearing people talk about how wrong she is to go after someone so nice.

I see that the Foo Fighters just kicked off their UK tour, so it's time to drag out my "Why I Hate Dave Grohl" thread.
TL;DR: The Foo Fighters funded AIDS denialist groups from 1999-2007 that lobbied to deny people life-saving medication. They have never acknowledged the deaths they caused.

Environmentalists really should realize how much “you should suffer to prevent climate change” is exactly what oil lobbyists want them to say.
