The only way to take the party left, BTW, because I know whose saying shit like this, is to retain power, take more, and obtain a greater voice for that wing of the coalition in a government they helped create. There's no universe where a loss takes this party anywhere but to the right.

Allow your child to read books conservatives disapprove? Child abuse. Buy your child a cell phone? Child abuse. Let your child use social media? Child abuse. Allow your child to explore their own gender and sexuality, in accordance with your family's values and beliefs? Child abuse.

On the one hand, Project 2025 insists that parents should be the ultimate authority over their children. On the other, Project 2025 insists that parents shouldn't be allowed to make many choices for their children that conservatives don't approve, explicitly conflating these with child abuse.

you know you just made a really good point – this particular program (i.e. Medicaid) pays for almost all of the long term care in America. What's long term care? It's nursing homes, among other place. The vaaaast majority of seniors in nursing homes? Medicaids paying the bills.

Inhofe was the senator who brought a snowball to the Senate in 2015 as evidence climate change wasn’t real and made himself a historic example of self-satisfied ignorance in the service of greed, and I will keep the memory of that spectacular dumbassery alive for as long as I breathe.

If the former senator thought that simply because he’s dead now his active contributions to the suffering of millions over the coming decades, all for the sake of greed and power, will be forgiven or forgotten by those he left behind, he was, as in so many other things, sadly mistaken.

Dildo, NL is actually off of Trinity bay, one bay to the North of Conception bay. This sort of journalistic malpractice is insulting! The photographer is from Dildo, though, so "Dildo photographer captures giant phallus-shaped iceberg floating in Conception Bay" is still a VERY solid headline.

"...give workers greater flexibility..." Oh, so the GOP is going to make it so workers get to set their own hours? Like you can tell your employer you want to work 20 hours this week when you're busy, but 60 hours next week? What... no? That's not up to the worker? So... who gets the flexibility?

“[Adversarial] bots aren’t good at the game but excel at feeding KataGo with inputs that cause it to make mistakes.” Failure to solve the problem in the relatively simple domain of Go does not bode well for similar issues in systems like ChatGPT.
