It’s rare that events from four years ago can still get me steamed, but Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the FBI’s moves to protect him can have that effect on me. A new bombshell from the film Justice has reopened the matter, and I explore it in today’s piece.

Hi, I'm God.

Long story short, I created humans, demanded they worship Me forever, drowned the whole planet when I got cranky, and crucified My own son in a PR stunt. Amongst other things.

Am I The Asshole?

Are Biden and Trump “basically in the same situation”? Sure, just so long as one overlooks literally every relevant detail.

Just a friendly reminder:

1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION

The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.

Well, with the conservative outrage over the use of rainbow colors on Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side Of The Moon” album cover, I wonder how many of those same “patriots” are offended by this, the shoulder patch of the The U.S. Army’s 42nd Infantry Division (a/k/a “The Rainbow Division”) which had elements in combat operations in WW1, WW2 and there days, is an Army National Guard division based in New York. Yanno, there are times I fucking hate people …

What DeSantis taught me.
In 1957 a Black student attempted to enrol in the University of Florida law school.

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered Florida to immediately enroll [Hawkins] in 1957, but the Florida Supreme Court concluded that federal law could be superseded by state law in some instances (the now-discredited “interposition” doctrine). Interposition where White Florida believed racism supersedes the Supremacy clause of the US Constitution.
Never knew that.

Hey all, would appreciate a post boost on this one.

I, unfortunately, got laid off last week and am looking for a new job! If you know of any going that fit my skillset of video content creation, educational CG writing, CG generalist then I'd love to hear about it!

A man once commented on a video of my stand up that he couldn’t concentrate on the jokes because he was too distracted “trying to decide whether or not I was hot.”

It’s an honor just to be nominated.

Heh. My ducks are all in row
🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆
but they're shit ducks. 🙄

Except the last one, which is on the west coast, which I can't start for hours yet. 🙄 It's fresh, at least.

The rest are either retreads or Texas. I hate working in Texas.

It's nothing personal, many of y'all are nice people! But the utility grid/resellers... Christ on a pogo stick!

Oh, well. Watch video and stuff ciggys. 🖥️🚬

I really like this paper: Talking About Large Language Models, by Murray Shanahan

https://www.arxiv-vanity.com/papers/2212.03551/

> A bare-bones LLM doesn’t “really” know anything because all it does, at a fundamental level, is sequence prediction. Sometimes a predicted sequence takes the form of a proposition. But the special relationship propositional sequences have to truth is apparent only to the humans who are asking questions, or to those who provided the data the model was trained on.

This is the old coast guard station that now houses a the Rutgers Marine Research Center in Tuckerton, NJ. The road out to the center requires crossing several single lane bridges and a hope that that road is not flooded! It is a beautiful drive if you have a chance! This was taken just after sunset.

The Florida thug-ocracy isn't just banning books -- it's forcing teachers to shutter classroom libraries. https://popular.info/p/florida-teachers-told-to-remove-books

For all of y’all who’re upset because your child’s curriculum is NOW being dictated by non-educators…you’re very late to this party

The fact that most, particularly white, folx have a completely made up “understanding” of history validates my statement

Globally, whiteness has ONLY been allowed to be casted as hero/victim, NEVER the villain

Your current “upset” is due to the fact that the parasite of white supremacy is FINALLY starting to eat its host

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don't make us safer

— The vast majority of Americans want gun control

Inaction is a policy choice.
