I enjoy history, economics, politics, foreign policy and technology. I’m actually fairly knowledgeable about some of it. Over educated but under-credentialed. I have a fondness for Existentialism and Judaism.

I stumbled across this because I have a bizarre fascination with North Korea. 5.5 hours of North Korean media reviews. It’s just fantastic. There’s also some really good history of North Korea in it too. It’s just top notch.

I’ve never heard of Mikie Sherrill or Abigail Spanberger. I had to do a web search. Some of you may be aware that I’m at least mildly politically engaged and I’ve never ears of them. I would ask if this is real, but Bill Kristol.

I saw that he passed at 46 and was wondering the cause. When people younger than me pass away I’m always curious. This is a sad way to die. May everyone remember him fondly from the days of his youth.

Interesting counterpoint to the AI hype.
“This report is so significant because Goldman Sachs, like any investment bank, does not care about anyone's feelings unless doing so is profitable. It will gladly hype anything if it thinks it'll make a buck.”

“The reason I don't generally include both sides of this argument is that the AI hype side generally makes arguments based on the assumption that things will happen, such as a transformer model that probabilistically generates the next part of a sentence or a picture will somehow gain sentience.”

The GOP platform strongly implies they're after "personhood" status for fetuses. I don't think people appreciate how radical that is. If it were the law, abortion for any reason, EVEN TO SAVE THE LIFE OF THE PREGNANT WOMAN, would be murder and therefore illegal. After all...

...since you are a person with full legal rights, I can't take your heart if I need a transplant, even if it will save my life. We are on equal legal footing, and I can't harm you in any way without your consent. So if a woman needed an abortion to live, doctors would have to just let her die.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and accused in court documents of raping children. He is also pushing a fascist agenda. Maybe cover some of that?

This Republican Party platform plank would allow states to decide that a fertilized egg is a person and that a woman needs to then act as an incubator for the term of pregnancy. Basically it’s locking a woman into servitude. There is a core thread in Christian Nationalism that women are property.

This is a good comic, but there’s also the part that a new drug targeting a niche ailment is going to be costly and the US insurance company is almost definitely going to refuse to pay for it.

Speaking of Biden's health, I'm old enough to remember when Trump dictated a letter full of obvious lies about his health to his personal physician, then had the doctor's office raided and his medical records stolen by his private bodyguards once he was in office.

Do they realize they had the opportunity to challenge Biden in the primary and didn’t? Failure to do that followed by an attempt to seize the nomination through back room dealings at the convention just seems corrupt. Maybe if they hadn’t intentionally neutered the Super Delegate process?

Fix mass transit first, then do congestion pricing. Give people a viable option and then use taxation to nudge their decision otherwise it’s just going to piss off a lot of a lot of voters.

Perhaps to defeat fascism it requires conservative democrats and liberal democrats to realize their common interest in democracy and its continued existence. (Please note the use of “small-d” democrats.)
