This is Maeve. She may be the sweetest, most good natured, most trusting dog I have ever met. She was abandoned in DC last week, and since I’m not able to adopt a dog now, I had to turn her over to the Brandywine Animal Shelter. I want to make sure this absolute delight of a dog finds a good home.
This is why AI is a real prisoner's dilemma, because if you are another country and you hear this idiot's mouth noises, what are you supposed to rationally do? *Not* develope AI and just assume this fuck is going to handle everything responsibly?

I was in San Francisco on 9/11. A couple of days before, I’d bought one of the Onion compilation books. I remember a weird sense of grief that maybe comedy and satire had died in the attack. And then The Onion played an absolute blinder.

Donald Trump, in case you were wondering, was four miles away in Midtown on September 11th, where he and the rest of the people in his office watched the smoke on the skyline. They watched it on the news, because you can't see WTC from Trump Tower. He's talked about that, repeatedly, for years.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Vote out MAGA and I promise I'll feel extra-vital and completely with it. The misery tax of listening to lickspittles like this guy makes me older every day
it's wild how republicans will be like "governing is bad, also elect me to govern you" and people do and they put their promise into practice and don't govern, run everything off a cliff, bankrupt everyone, light the world on fire, and after a while people forget about that and let them do it again
I’m telling you - the default position of this administration is fear. Fear of questions, fear of transparency, fear of being found out, and fear of the American people.

It's darkly depressing that the entire GOP -- from the White House to Congress to the Supreme Court -- insists that the president and his aides cannot be held accountable for all the very clear crimes that they clearly committed, but they think Dr. Fauci should hang for alleged mishandling of COVID.
