Headlines today should be: "Trump calls on his supporters to "cheat like hell" in 2026 election." Followed by: "Trump was charged with crimes for attempting to overturn the 2020 election and incited the Jan 6 terrorist attack to remain in power despite losing." But corporate media won't do that!

Establishing the principle that POTUS is *not* above the law is worth all the time and resources it might take.
If we don't do that, the republic is over and we have a king.

This makes twice now that Grafana Cloud's free tier has redefined limits in a way that makes my existing usage no longer free
2nd one surprised me because I thought I'd pointed everything elsewhere. Thanks for helping me find the bad config, I guess?
The forgotten bits alone are too much now, lol

the US president, with the explicit support of the US legislature and the US supreme court, is stealing billions of dollars in thousands of ways. meanwhile the NYT is on the case of whether, when mamdani paid a thousand dollars for a knicks ticket out of his own pocket, he got a ticket for VIPs

Got a survey from what appears to be Brad Smith doing some prep work to run for WV governor
There was a question that asked where I saw WV's future. Option 1 was basically "coal". Option 2 was "AI datacenters". Option 3 was "not sure."
This survey sucks

Probably a terrible idea, but what if there was a community sourced pool of money that would be paid to a journalist with press pool access who asks questions set by the community and refuses to let them go, pushing through any pushback, insults, and topic changes?

Right now if there's too much to fit in a single post it just does nothing, will add overflow threading later

I really like the framing that LLMs exploit a human cognitive shortcut. When we encounter something that dynamically reacts to what we say, we assume sentience. This has been a useful assumption for millennia

it's a treat watching people invisible to at least 4/5 of americans fret over how a rubber chicken dinner no one gives a fuck about will be interpreted when any of them could become one of the most trusted voices in the country by interrupting a lying presidential rebuke by telling him to suck eggs
Zero. Sympathy.
They did this to themselves.
Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

I don't know if the constitution has failed us, but I sure know these conglomerations of pathetic worms in the shape of men have failed the constitution.
If the constitution is broken, it is quite literally because the founders could not conceive of men so spineless. It never occurred to them!
