Code doesn’t have feelings, rights, or standing, and never should. If people cannot keep their heads on straight it is not unreasonable to conclude that the most powerful technology in the history of the world should not be run by those who see humanity as an open question.

Remember when Tim Walz started calling Trump “weird” and Democrats really thought it was clever and effective?

Per @mtkonczal we can stop speculating about the nature of the vibecession, because conveniently real wages have gone negative.

Had dinner with a friend last night who is being hit with the pied a terre tax and was fine with it because it’s cheaper than paying NYC/NYS income taxes, illustrating why property tax is the best form of taxation - income is mobile, real estate is not.

The energy policy from NY progressives is:
-don't replace or upgrade old gas plants
-don't construct new hydroelectric dams
-don't build new nuclear plants
Together that's about 90% of NY's current energy mix. For short, best to call it:
"None of the Above"
🚨 NEW YORK SOCIALISTS OPPOSE NEW NUCLEAR 🚨
In a depressing new state filing, all of the DSA Socialists in Office slate serving in the state legislature have joined other state Dems in opposing the governor's landmark Nuclear Reliability Backbone initiative. Specifically, they "oppose the use of any taxpayer or ratepayer subsidies to support the construction of new nuclear power plants in New York." Why? Because, they argue, nuclear is too expensive, too slow, and what-about-the-waste. The same old New Left shit.
When will Zohran's abundance left approach be applied to energy? When will DSA abandon its green NGO advisors on energy issues?

twf you told the courts you're building a thing crucial to the security of the nation's leaders, then you offer to let our most prominent national enemy tour it
Trump goes off script at Xi state banquet to invite guests to visit the White House ballroom building site after dinner. 'In honor of you, you'll be the first people to step foot on that.'

New thing that's ableist: Telling people they shouldn't be using their phones in movie theaters
Probably should’ve specified that it’s literally how my brain is wired and probably a result of severe ADHD and me not getting tested for autism because my parents didn’t believe it existed now I got a bunch of people being ableist over something I can’t control

.@MaryPeltola says academics have corrected her for calling herself Yup’ik Eskimo, even though that’s how people in her community have long described themselves, and compares being told to use “Inuit” to outsiders insisting on “Latinx.”

I would like to know more about this incident where Don Young purportedly held a 10-inch knife to John Boehner's throat *in the House chamber.* That does not sound plausible to me, and Young called the story "mostly true." Which part of it is true? politico.com/magazine/story/…

Ah, this is clarifying: Young (who is now deceased) said on a podcast that the knife blade was sheathed. skeptics.stackexchange.com/q…
