This relentless insistence on dragging the Pope into US party politics does no one any favours.

NEW: President Trump’s former White House AI czar critiques Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical: "If we hand governments sweeping power over AI development in the name of safety, how do we prevent it from being used to censor, surveil, and control citizens — as Orwell foretold in 1984?” “This is the real alignment problem. “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” “Who will guard the guardians? “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

So the Lord God came down to see the AI they were building without proper regard for God or neighbor and he confused their language models.

For those interested in the situation in Bolivia. Evo Morales, former President/Dictator was running a child sex trafficking ring where he raped young children himself. He was convicted by a court and is now staging a rebellion with his paramilitary force against the state.

The shuttering of the Schlitz brand reminds me of the late Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Milton Faymie, who always insisted on drinking Schlitz between innings while he was pitching.
Unfortunately, he overdid it during one game. He walked the bases loaded, then walked in the winning run.
And the opponents cheered: "Schlitz! The beer that made Mil Faymie walk us!"

This was terrible, but the sight of this kind of movie poster gives me a serious case of nostalgia.

@yourbuddyspooky @TheMiddleborne I don't know if the New Trek movies are worse or better than what's come since so it makes the baseline hard to gauge.
English
@TheMiddleborne Except for Starfleet Academy, Discovery, & the first 2 seasons of Picard, everything else Trek related has been amazing.

I don't think God has torched a city over adultery, though I grant you Gomorrah may have given it a run.

Why is homosexuality constantly singled out, while adultery is literally listed in God's Ten Commandments and often gets overlooked?

Maybe because there's no adultery flag flying at the public elementary school by my house.

Massie lost by 10 points. It's not Cheney losing by 38, but it's way more of a win than you'd expect against an incumbent free of scandal.
Just goes to show the discourse here can be rather out of touch with normie Republicans.
Based on this site you'd expect Massie to win big

"Your argument would make sense if and only if underlying facts supported it."
"Exactly: You'll just lie and say facts support it."

Every time someone thinks Jonathan Chait has a minimal grasp of English and logic, he's there like a Correction Kool Aid Man to disabuse them.

Exactly, you would construct whatever hypothetical necessary to maintain the fiction that Trump was merely matching previous Democratic misdeeds x.com/baseballcrank/…

I mean, if in this hypothetical I & other conservatives had been criticizing Democrats for years for using helicopters to dispose of political opponents, sure.
Jonathan Chait@jonathanchait
If Trump started dropping Democrats out of helicopters, @baseballcrank would say "this is just as bad as [some past Democratic use of helicopters he disapproves of]" and imagine he's being principled.

@davidpdeavel I've hardly worked a factory floor. But I'm very tired. I don't think I'd have 25 years in Florida. I think I'd have 10 years in Southwest Texas.
English
@davidpdeavel It's a very good thought exercise. I will say that I've worked, in some combination, something close to 16-20 hour days for most of my working life so far; and the exception now is that I help care for the kids as much as I do actual, unevenly stimulating work.
English
I tell people that given how many kids I have, I am almost certain to die with my boots on. They seem sad about this. I think that's myopic. Ulysses is recited at high school graduations by children who only sort of understand it, but the end is the point:

When I was a young Naval Aviator, I was a lion. Now I’m perhaps still a lion but missing some teeth, weakened, tired.

In Moby Dick, Melville describes the “try-works,” fiery and foul-smoking brick furnaces on The Pequod used to boil down whale blubber into oil. They use dried scraps of whale itself to keep the fires going.
Then there is this Dantean section which Melville drops this flabbergasting, amazing prose.
