yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Terfs internalize that patriarchy is pervasive and brutal, and to be a women is to be subjected to it. Sans liberation work, they fall into self-loathing defensiveness about womanhood. Transwomen especially are suspect because who would voluntarily be a woman? Only someone sick and/or malicious.

One thing that’s helpful to keep in mind here, imo, is that these days it’s not really clear just what an editorial board is for, and so as a result editorial boards at big papers are constantly engaged in the project of justifying their own relevance

Recently, I was peer reviewing a paper, and it cited one of my papers. Except... it wasn't anything I had written. The title sounds like something I'd write. It included coauthors I work with, and was in a journal I've published in. But it wasn't real. AI is not good for science.

Part of the reason the debate felt awful was they didn’t cut the mics and they didn’t push back on *anything.* Biden probably would have benefited from pushback so he could generate answers from the hip; Trump would have collapsed.

Let’s shift our focus, ok? Donald Trump was fucking incoherent tonight. Yes, he’s always incoherent, but his answers were wholly detached from reality. You know what works better than appeal? Disgust. And there’s a lot in his answers that would disgust people if it were pointed out. So point it out.

Two of my friends have had this specific pregnancy complication. It was soul-crushing for them. They desperately wanted to have those babies. But the health risks were far too severe, and they had abortions. Alito and Thomas fully believe they shouldn't have had that option. I'm sickened.

He is joined only by Thomas in this section of his dissent. But they believe - genuinely and enthusiastically - that it is better for women be subjected to certain risk of serious health problems; to being confined to bed rest for months on end; and to up to a 5% chance of death, than to abort.

...total and complete bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy is required; that up to 37% of women with this condition who don't get an abortion go into septic shock; that serious health problems are almost universal... but since only 1%-5% of women die, abortion should illegal there.

Ok, I need everybody to read Section III-A of Alito's dissent in the Idaho abortion case. He says - explicitly and specifically - that in cases where the amniotic sac breaks before the 24th week of pregnancy, abortions should be prohibited. HE SPECIFICALLY NOTES THE DANGERS. He points out that...

To be clear, Trump isn't just careening wildly on abortion rights, he's lying: "Abortion should be prosecuted as homicide" and "abortion should be left up to the states" can only be reconciled if what you mean is "states can decide how to handle abortion as long as they prosecute it as homicide."

In general, readers are (IMO) 110% willing to put in the work if they understand that the writer is sharing the material as an act of generosity. "Here's this cool and important thing I learned about, and I'm eager to tell you about it properly, which includes some of the special lingo we use."
