And this is why its relevant:

Where Trump took out full page ads in newspapers advocating for bringing back the death penalty specifically for the (now) Exonerated Five. Trump spent his own money to defame these men.
One of these things is not like the other


Central park five. Gee I wonder what the difference might be


Strix halo can support even bigger models, if slower. Also weird to put export controls on something your country doesn’t technically manufacture.
There’s no real stopping people from getting access to the technology required to run these models. And for the wast majority of the questions, speed isn’t as much the issue so much as memory capacity.


bingo.
if you have to tell people to not believe the things they observe, think, and feel, immediately prior to an election… well… lets just say that if thats the case, things have not gone as planned.


Remember when Biden and Kamala told US voters " no actually you don’t understand. You’re actually doing pretty well economically"?
Anyways. vibe.


No body reads the terms and conditions.


And yet… here we are.


I’ll let Congress know to ask you if this comes up.


South Carolina has no bearing on the general. Stop allowing media to tell you it does.


Ah yes. Preposterously expensive supply chain limited devices with a what amounts to DRM on demand kill switches.
If your goal is territorial defense, nothing seems to beat small and light weight mobile drone combat. Short and medium ranges are basically solved. Ukraine and Iran have demonstrated the power of drones when your playing on home court territory.


Trump doesn’t give a fuck about the killing.


How do you always seem to have the most perpetually working and out of touch takes? Its like, actually shocking how consistently you end up on the wrong side of simple issues .


Not in a historical context.

Approval ratings in the 20’s have happened, but are incredibly rare. Truman, Nixon, and HW are the only ones who have had sustained breaches into the 20’s. And honestly, the science of polling is better now than its ever been. And those breaches also happened late into their terms.
So its pretty exceptional to be in the high 20’s. If its sustained over multiple polls, obviously thats confirmation.


Man. This kills me.
Gallup stopped doing their approval poll in 2025, you know, because (fascist) reasons.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/245606/update-gallup-presidential-approval-ratings.aspx
But it was the longest running, consistent applied, scientific presidential approval poll. And now we’re missing data for arguably the most interesting presidential approval data of all time.


And Tucker Carlson is just some youtube streamer.
Joe Rogan is some spotify streamer.
Your point is a point without a point.


If Trump says Hasan is bad for Democrats, that means he must be fantastic for Democrats.


I had this conversation yesterday. If you had to choose between an abstract inscrutable AI having all the power on in the world, or any CEO, who would you pick?
There are good reasons why women pick the bear.
