In four years we’ll all be yelling about the robotic machine guns killing migrants at the border while the NYT publishes op eds like “the case for resegregation”

Alright, everyone. Time to watch the inspiring speech from "Andor" to feel a little less depressed for a moment or two youtu.be/TKB67KzjO4A?...

Things are bad but all the more reason for optimism of the will and rejection of doomerism and nihilism. Only way out is through.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense

When I saw Biden at a fundraiser early this month, he sounded tired and a bit feeble, particularly contrasted with Obama talking right next to him. But the choice between enfeebled and a narcissistic sociopath surrounded by younger narcissistic sociopaths is not even a little difficult.

maybe I’ve just lost the plot but biden has like a 40 year history of needlessly kicking his own ass in various goofy new ways then popping out the other side giggling like the caddyshack gopher so I dunno what I’m supposed to do as far as freaking out that he’s up to it yet again

Biden is too old. But he has surrounded himself with competent people and has had a conventional first term. Trump is authoritarian but inept. He has surrounded himself with people he hopes will make him more effective at authoritarianism. Neither is ideal. But these are not similar problems.

Spent tonight watching Acapulco and Land of Women and I absolutely loved it.

Avengers Endgame is really an emotional journey. Whew.

Seriously, could we just not do this? Consumer AI is like fast fashion for phones. Could we just use it for drug discovery and gene editing, maybe elephant translation, and call that enough?

Doctor Who is a show with a vast canon spanning more than half a century. It is also a show where the plot can just be described as "Vibes, man. Vibes."
