My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

this is like, the only kind of news story about Canadian crime(?) that we ever get down here

Nice guy of no fixed address takes a turn at driving the bus, checks bus pass validity, makes scheduled stops, passengers give him directions when he deviates from route

Reminds me of the time some Canadian store was left unlocked overnight for some reason. They did inventory and the only thing missing was 1L of motor oil & there was a $20 on the counter

What are your plans for when ChatGPT enshittifies?


I don't think we realize how good we have it right now. ChatGPT is unbiased (configurable solely and fully by the user) and truly tries its best to be useful. It's surely a question of time before OpenAI lets advertisers pay them to introduce product pladement and biases into the LLMs thinking in exchange for cash. What alternatives are there for getting the current experience when that happens? I wouldn't mind paying a small subscription.

The Man Stance
You have seen the stance. It's at every barbeque. A beer in hand and several "alpha" men in a small semi-circle arc or lined up shoulder to shoulder in the "King of the Hill" stance.

I've been wanting to write about how something I once thought was just a bit of a blindspot around trans issues at the New York Times now seems like the beginning of a larger change in their coverage, a rightward shift, but also a lowering of standards. Now I've done it, only for Assigned members.


Notably, with latest vote tallies, her lead is 0.7% - over the 0.5% which would trigger an automatic recount.

I know winning is just a start, but this one feels really good! I was just pleasantly surprised when she entered the race and just hoped she would put some pressure on him. But I thought Harrell would be very hard to beat. And he was! Katie had to run a strong campaign.

It’s hard to feel nostalgic when you can’t remember anything.

I feel nostalgic for places I've never been, but that could be the same thing


Even if they cost 4 cents to make, you can be sure if Trump's face was on the penny instead of Lincoln's, we'd still be minting them.

Do not ever run for the train. Let it go without you, let the boss fire you, let the heavens fall. Do. Not. Run.

And mind the gap.

in reply to roque (ロク)

have sworn the same oath decades go. Last year I lapsed. One time ! Lost my agenda and my car key in the process.

Do not ever run for the train.
