any screw can be a self-tapping screw if you and it are strong enough

Crypto bros used to tell me crypto was good for the environment because its energy demand would drive adoption of renewables. I am starting to see AI bros make the same case.

In addition to being observably wrong, this is like saying a higher cancer rate is good because it drives health care.

I will be reading nothing about the mf #knicks or their fans’ relief.

It gives me no pleasure to say this, but the quoted post is 1000% true. We did not have time for this in 2016 or 2024, and we're beyond out of time for it now.

If anyone were actually listening to what he (and Maine voters) are saying, you'd know he's not the next Fetterman (who is mentally ill post-stroke).

Help him win the election by STFUing, get the majority, stop digging the hole we've thrown democracy into and then replace him with a better candidate.

Platner and The Purity Trap

Feel like these last few days in Maine can be a teachable moment. What we are seeing play out is political information warfare that could be branded a "purity trap".

Purity trap tactics have their roots in the swift boating of John Kerry and the destruction of Al Franken. Purity traps were run effectively against 'Genocide' Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

So, let's talk about 'purity traps'...

my favourite part of the callsheet icon showing up in the WWDC app rap is that they used the original, not the one we had to whip up to avoid “””copyright infringement.”””
