Doing it on a weekday means it can be more disruptive to the status quo, but that also means more divisive. Doing it on the weekend means it’s easier for more people to participate and it can come across as more of a statement of unity.

I don’t think one is strictly better than the other. I do think this one will have an impact.

My cat’s name is Clark, which gradually sometimes became Clark-a-doodle, which became Doodle, which became Doodlebug, which became Bug and occasionally Buggle.

When I’m frustrated with him, it’s now sometimes Frettled Gruntbuggly.

And his last name is “maligno.” Even Disney wouldn’t use a villain name that blatant. Is reality just a really bad fanfic at this point?

As an American, I can confirm, it’s fucking grim here right now.

Ritalin isn’t methamphetamine, but Desoxyn is, and that’s also used for ADHD.

They didn’t wait for the judge.

BUT the judge behind blocking the deployment of the Oregon National Guard has issued another TRO. So the situation is still boiling along.

The link you’ve shared here talks about the Führer Oath being created in August 1934 but not becoming law until mid-1935, which seems to roughly agree with the date in the post you’re disputing. I can’t find much to support the claim about a surprise assembly, though, at least from a cursory search.

It looks as though his post is taken almost verbatim from this substack post: https://thecycle.substack.com/p/from-hitler-to-hegseth

which doesn’t inspire the most confidence.

This suggests a whole new kind of D&D alignment chart.

Maybe punished for incitement, on the grounds that it was “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action”? Tough to prove in court but as a bystander I’m frustratingly unsurprised the one thing followed the other.

It’s because, for the most part, it doesn’t actually have access to the text itself. Before the data gets to the “thinking” part of the network, the words and letters have been stripped out and replaced with vectors. The vectors capture a lot of aspects of the meaning of words, but not much of their actual text structure.

Yeah, it’s a total fascist shitshow here right now.

Yeah, I can’t help reading about the Chicago Police Department (CPD) being instructed not to go along with Tom Homan without thinking of the stories about the Homan Square facility in Chicago where CPD would detain people for days without charging them, without giving them access to their lawyers, etc. If we’re thinking CPD are supposed to be some kind of bulwark against fascism, we’re SO fucked.

Edit: To be clear, as far as I know, the shared name is a total coincidence, but it really makes it hard not to think about the history of the department.

I also use way too many em dashes (usually as double hyphens), but I also overuse parentheses and commas and just overly long sentence structures. I would like to think that my style remains pretty distinct from LLM output style at the moment.

The thing that really worries me is that as they stop using weird identifiable quirks like em dashes and emoji, it could be that the identifiable trait that remains is eerily consistent grammar. It used to be that people unconsciously treated extremely grammatical text as authoritative, regardless of its actual merit; as such, teachers spent literal decades drilling into me the habit of avoiding grammatical errors. Now that could end up instead just making folks think I’m a robot, and thus to be ignored.

I guess the actual robots will probably talk less about their neurotic concerns, though, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

Why would you think it’s only foreign agents who would use ICE as cover to disappear politicians they don’t like?
