Maybe we can annotate every line with the page number. I think the 900 page thing is searchable. They believe lies, we believe receipts.

“Gather your hooded cowards so that your numbers allow you the hate without fear.” The law was always problematic to them. Otherwise why all the secrets?

Please also look over the claimed bonafides from the Heritage Foundation's participation in policy and staffing for the Reagan administration. Ok... so a few of them went to jail. Maybe a good use of presidential power would be to start slathering them with supoenas until you can nuke the 501(c)

Paul Dans, director of the project. Go read some of that stuff. It's chilling.

Lots of physics is breaking. Turns out that describing things to be existing in one dimension don't work without inventing a lot of mathematical assumptions. Carver Mead might be on to something. The history of physics is a long series of "truth until it ain't." Leon Lederman wrote a pleasant book.

To make anything useful for statistics, you need to change the description of the data set so that the distribution is a bell curve. We don't walk around doing these transformations in our head.
turns out we are not innately wired for base 10 numbering.

GIGO was the premise he built the bit on. He basically said the voting public are idiots, taking a thread from the founders who had a general distrust of the populace using good judgment in voting. Electoral college was the solution to that which never worked.

George Carlin had a bit that centered on giving up political hope. I wish he was more wrong. Truth is, maybe the only hope you have is to be able to live with yourself as we all learn the terrible lessons of catastrophe is to show up and dissent in the booth.

You could always sanitize your history and apply for a job with project 2025 and go in as a chaos agent or a mole. That needs to be a thing, but on the down low. Does that qualify as John Lewis “good trouble?” Disrupting Heritage Foundation should line up pretty well with the cause of civil rights.

Read at least the first paragraph of the sections in the 1000 page project25 document and you will see that SCOTUS is creating the legal framework for its execution. Just read a little of it, I dare all of you. Heritage Foundation actually boasts about having done it before for Reagan.

SK Hynix was government funded by South Korea, Japan has always invested heavily in chip plants from government money. Only part of the reason for offshoring has been for cheaper labor. A good portion is because offshore semiconductor factories got better subsidies from the host country.

Run campaign ads where a montage of people are saying assertively”not Trump” maybe 20 people, scatter in a couple famous people to get folks watching closely, then at the end, have the Cookie Monster approve the message. There can be different versions. End one with Elmo, end with Bert and Ernie.

Probably need to include Joseph Campbell on the list. According to Lucas real life lore, is took physical contact from a magician's trick to get the two to talk in depth about story telling and its resonance. There was certainly mediation.

Infinite regress was solved by Theodor Suess Geisel when he named the bottom turtle “Mack.” Delightful idiom with lots of divergent meanings. Thanks for the muse.

Hasn’t the court signaled strongly enough that they will manage the election outcome? They already decided one election this century.

At the chip design and manufacturing level, AI assisted data analysis shortens iterations so the software improves the hardware. There’s always synthetically generated data to train on.
Inference is cheap. Training is the power hog.

AI has the ability to create substantial electrical energy scarcity. That’s inflationary. The existing AI builds are certainly not going to remain in effect very long. The software design guys are coming up with energy cost reductions for computation and the curve is exponential.

Exactly. When congress wrote specific legislation against engaging conflict in Nicaragua (Boland amendment) the executive saw that as a congressional attack on the Reagan Doctrine. These justices were ass deep in it then. Boland amendment was not respected as the will of the people.

Yeah, maybe triggered a little. I love dogs. Teach your dogs to not initiate play. Play starts when human says. This is just common sense. Did you initiate play with the dog? I should have asked that first.

Not a kick, lift leg, extend ankle, push back. The mechanics of a dog jumping up to initiate play or attack are similar enough that the counter is the same. Dog don’t get hurt, I don’t get hurt, and usually dog is out of play mode. The message is train dogs to not initiate play with strangers.

I don’t care what dog or owner or it the animal is friendly and meaning to play. If a dog approached me and the front paws come off the ground, I’m ready with a powerful leg to block and if possible, forcibly reverse the momentum of somebody’s precious pet. I do not deserve to bleed for your pet.

I will not countenance any serious modification of SCOTUS that does not include the appointment of Barrack Obama. He should also oversee the 5th circuit.

They are doing it for Saint Bork. .. and by extension, Scalia. The story is that Biden rejected Bork because he wasn't a lefty. That's non-sense. Bork was rejected because he fired Archibald Cox after the DOJ chain of command refused to do so. Bork wanted absolute presidential power.

Smart employers have been doing this for decades. It’s about making sure you do not miss the better hires and then not fully enabling the best hires. Convincing boardrooms that DEI doesn’t work is just a precursor to dissolving EEOC. DEI started as EEOC compliance.

The unknown gets bigger and heavier to push back so bringing up capable minds as reinforcements towards the effort becomes a bigger task as well. I wouldn’t expect this to change. This requires disparate aptitudes so I’m always impressed with academics for that.

Great reply, thanks for your time and words. Nutritional needs change with pregnancy, it’s good to pursue the mechanisms we may have that are present to serve those needs. This learning could open up other areas of study and maybe isolate other paths of environmental disruption of function.

Who says progressives can’t focus on a single issue? Did anyone notice that the distraction machine has not had all the attention for a few days? It’s been really nice. Thank you, President and non-felon Joe Biden for your predictably poor performance. The left is talking about good things.

Anyone thinking in terms of the Edith Wilson precedent? That might be more likely than Kamala. Jill Biden could pull off an Edith. Reagan was pretty far gone when he finished. I’m pretty sure the United States has survived a number of cases of cognitive disability in the chief executive.
