Yet another example, as if we needed one, that when they say "Judeo-Christian" what they really mean is "Christian," and by Christian they mean a very specific form of Americanized white Protestantism with conservative white Catholics included for good measure.

"And this is a specific problem with the AI fantasists' spiel. They heavily rely on the idea that not only will these large language models (LLMs) get more powerful, but that getting more powerful will somehow grant it the power to do...something."

It's time for white Democrats in Congress, white editors & journalists in media, white donors, & white elites to listen to Black Democrats & Black voters who are sticking with Joe Biden. Black voters saved America's ass in 2020. Black voters would suffer most under Trump. Listen to Black voters

I read the book while seated in a new wheelchair and with the book open on a table. I didn't notice how the book stayed open, except with the pleasure of reading a properly-made book. But you are absolutely right!

You must buy this book! Warning: you may need wrist support and it's not really designed to be read in bed. I bought it in Kindle format for the inevitable re-read but the experience of this hardcover edition should be grasped with both hands.

When I lived in Portland with my beagle/basset we encountered racers frequently and they were, across the board, lovely and friendly. I am prejudiced in favor of hounds in general, tbh, but I never met a gaze hound that wasn't perfect.

My theory is that they gather at the end of the day, usually in a tree or two and all that gabbing is about what each one did during the day, what goodies were found and where they would be foraging tomorrow.

Oh my God, I didn't realize this is literally the exact story I told in ONE NATION UNDER GOD. The Fraternal Order of Eagles was instrumental in spreading these Ten Commandments monuments across America in the 1950s ... as part of a promotional tour with the Cecil B. DeMille epic.

Did not know about the three earlier books. Thanks. I mean, not because I have to buy three more books but because I get to read them.

I bought the DVD collection of about 6 million discs shortly before going into the hospital for five months. Still in the original wrapper but I suspect I can't send it back now.

Oklahoma passed a law that reduces sentences for people whose convictions stemmed from their abuse — despite prosecutors’ objections and an initial veto by the governor. Getting this passed in such a law-and-order state shows it can be done in any state.
