@realtimers.bsky.social Bill should bring this up during his next dinner with Trump. Perhaps having dinner with a POS liar who sides with sexual predators is not the good idea he thinks it is. Bill, why do you serve to normalize this guy? www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-crue...

Trump’s Cruelty to Abuse Victims Extends Far Beyond Amy Acton

His embrace of the vile smear fits an administration that shields predators and abandons survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

www.economist.com/podcasts/202... A good summary of AI's world models, but this is just wrong: "I think there are a growing number of people who are looking at what you have with the top tier of AI agents now and going by any definition of AGI that isn’t unachievable, we’re there already."

Can “world models” fix AI’s blind spots?

Obviously MAGA is now behind the overthrow of Maduro because it was successful. Before, they recognized that such an effort had a good chance of failing. But, most importantly, they don't care at all whether it was legal or the right thing to do. www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Yeah, that's not how I remember it. No one held back because there were too many guilty politicians. Instead, the guilty politicians successfully blocked our efforts to obtain justice. And, by "guilty politicians", I mean virtually all Republicans.

I think people did not want to believe the obvious truth: that January 6th was an attempted coup that was abetted by the highest levels of the Republican Party. It would’ve meant arresting, trying, and possibly imprisoning many of America’s most powerful politicians.

Not measuring the true impact of a policy change IS ignoring the possible harms of well-meaning policy. We should decide how much weight to give those hurt by a policy rather than have that done for us.

Doug Gordon@brooklynspoke.bsky.social · 11mo ago

"But can't we talk about the people this policy harms?" is a good way to never enact policy that helps a whole lotta people. It's not that you ignore the possible harms of well meaning policy, but you have to be careful about how much weight you give them.

All this talk about MTG and her possible changes in position makes me wonder why it should matter. I would assume that most of those commenting would never vote for her no matter the office she seeks. I certainly would not.

For 50 years the right has been telling us that the appropriate response to this is to open fire on these goons. They say we need assault weapons as a bulwark against a tyrannical government snatching people off the streets.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
