The Republican oligarch class and their very well-paid lackeys do not understand that Trump has totally destroyed the brand of the Republican party with its own voters.

Once Trump dies of whatever cause, the Republican party is going to tear itself apart.

#AI in a nutshell

"AI has lots of problems:
(It is an environmental disaster.
It inflicts cruelty on clickworkers in the global south who vet its training data.)
* It turbocharges monopoly.
* It cloaks terrible bias in a false empiricism.
* It is wildly unreliable.
* It is a stock bubble and an enshittification accelerant, marketed as a means of replacing skilled workers with broken automation whose substandard goods we will have no choice but to consume."

It's pure coincidence that Elon Musk just happened to erase the entire record of how twitter was used to organize and share photos and video from Arab Spring, right?

I realize that people not used to quakes (e.g. visitors) can understandably go utterly ballistic for days after a quake like this. But for we natives -- and I've lived in L.A. my entire life -- if nothing is damaged and nothing even falls over it's really just a footnote that says "A gentle reminder."

Re-upping this again: I wish more lefties could internalize the idea that hypocrisy is not a meaningful accusation to the right. Of course they're being hypocrites. That you are bound, by rules, standards, logic, human decency, some fundamental moral consistency, anything at all, and they are not? That is their conception of what power is, and why they seek it. So they can exercise power, without constraint, and you cannot.

That's the whole point.

Hypocrisy is the virtue-signaling of fascism.

@ai6yr Haha. Born and raised in LA, you get used to them. You can recognize the person from LA when everyone else panics and runs, the Angeleno yells at the earthquake, "Knock it off!" and continues what they were doing.

@VeryBadLlama Haha. Yeah, passports date way back, thousands of years. Back when every land / country was governed by a monarch of some kind, all citizens were, in practice, property of the king. So naturally, you had to have the king's permission to leave the land. Since every land had similar rules, they checked to see if you had your monarch's permission to leave. Being outside your own country without paperwork meant you were either a vagabond or an outlaw, so you were arrested. Each country expected this behavior from other countries. In ancient Rome you needed permission of some kind or an obvious reason to be out on the road. After all, you might be an escaped slave.

Sometimes think about the time I heard a Danish right-wing politician flat-out state, un-prompted, in a speech inside f**king parliament, that they were using anti-immigration as a platform for building the influence needed to relieve taxation & regulation on the rich - and not only didn't a single mainstream news channel ever say a single word about it, but neither, to my knowledge, did any other politician, including her opposition...

@VeryBadLlama This is good advice. More wealthy people should take it, especially any nouveau-riche. Managing wealth well is harder than it looks. Put your ego on the shelf, hire experts with proven track records, and do what they tell you.

To find top-quality trustworthy experts, talk to some old-money rich people and find out who they've hired to manage their childrens' inheritances. ;-)
