I’m fine with abolishing the electoral college as long as elections are still ran at the state level to stop Trumpian nonsense.

I actually back this. The current version of the filibuster makes the senate unproductive

Ok, playing with dolls is just what they do now. They couldn't explain why if you asked them.
The salmon swims upstream, the wolf howls at the moon, the chud plays with dolls.
My gamble given the regulatory policy surrounding chip exports was created by the White House, the only legal claim out of this pretty scandalous Nvidia mess.
Is investors suing Huang for lying about the lack of a relationship.
Like this is also bad but it’s prosecutorial discretion 101 too.

The counter argument of course is to grant Senate bias but argue the outcomes of that bias like Dems forced to run more moderate candidates is normatively good and minor.
The WaPo columnist can’t even admit that.
From what if can tell it’s less that polygraphs are pseudoscience but there unfalsifiable for lying and tell us little measurements of blood pressure wouldn’t already. teapawt.net/gaymergir/stat…
That is just how computer chip improvements have historically worked.

We had a speech-maker for 20 years. We got the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust. We'll be better off with a real leader who sent his own son to protect us in war after that massacre (and never got him back) than with the coward whose sons spent the war clubbing in Miami and London.
A lot of people seem to forget the whole midterm gridlock situation was Obama’s term 2010 and on.
Hell if not for gerrymandering good chance we would have seen the house flip back in 2012 too.
I at least get the anger at Schumer his been leader of the Dems for a decent amount of time including some bad years.
But Jeffries?
He has never even been House speaker.
Legally this is very debatable, morally it’s clear AI training is exactly the unfair completion copyright is supposed to prevent.
If I upload a movie clip to YouTube, I get a copyright strike within hours.
If I burn a copy of an album for a friend, I'm a pirate.
But AI companies can feed millions of books, songs, articles, and photos into a model, and it's called "training."
The artists, writers, and photographers whose work went in weren't asked and weren't paid.
Courts are still sorting out whether that counts as fair use, and so far the rulings are mixed.
But watching it play out, I can't shake one question.
When an individual copies something, it's theft.
When a trillion-dollar company does it at scale, it's innovation.
Same material. Different size of bank account.

Not an American kristalnacht but what status quo involves diplomats being gunned down, houses of worship facing vandalism/needing armed security, the occasional terrorist attack, and businesses being smashed up and vandalized? Does that happen, say, to the Armenian diaspora?
This correction is hitting so hard because in the basically centripetal world of US liberalism, Israel was maybe the one topic where everyone was expected to be as extreme as police abolitionists or anti-water fluoride people. Pro-Israel Jews still don't see that their position is one of great and exceptional privilege and cannot fathom that the end of all this is not going to be an American Kristallnacht but simply a status quo where a bell curve of views from rank bigotry to ardent cultic Zionism gets a voice, with most people in the middle, like every other minority group/diaspora.
