I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

Oh, you say you care are about genocide? So why do you remain silent about the ethnic cleansing of future AI people.

yeah, man, i left my day job over those harms, and insofar as i have a day job now, that's what it is.
Deleted now thanks to me, but Rev, on what timeline are you going to collectively muster society against the greater harms you alluded to being greater? Never, you never were going to, and the spilled ink flows towards paths of actionable resistance.

language is a world model insofar as to refer to things in the world you need your utterances to covary with the occurrences of the things those utterances represent
It is strange how much LLMs turned out to be able to solve such a wide range of hard problems that would not, instinctively, seem to be problems that a model of human language would be able to solve

"The jury verdict from 10 years ago contains a scrivener's error insofar as it states that the defendant was not guilty. We are changing that, nunc pro tunc, to guilty."
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
It is not! A “scrivener’s error” is for things like fixing typos or very minor non-material errors, not retroactively adding a deportation order that doesn’t current exist!

and that insofar as votes switched it was moderates.
Also, those of us who paid attention noticed that it was the center, not the left, that fucked Biden in Congress.
You'd think the center would see Mamdani's popularity for scoring tons of small Ws and selling them to the public as evidence that Bidenism had potential but just failed on promoting itself. Instead we just get more whining because they just run on negative polarization at this point

Q: How quickly will this affect prices at the grocery store?
TRUMP: I think the prices are gonna be, ah, going down already. I mean, the prices are way down. We brought prices way down from what it was. We inherited high prices.

Issues matter insofar as they are high salience fights you pick to tell the story about blame. The general conditions matter, and so policy matters insofar as it affects macro conditions. But *policy*, what you actually do in power basically doesn’t matter at all for political purposes.

they're the same insofar as both presidents were speaking due to a great tragedy occurring
ESPN statement:
“With Donald Trump’s Inauguration occurring on the day of the CFP National Championship, it makes sense to include a message from the President, a practice that occurs regularly during major sporting events – including earlier this month from President Biden before the Sugar Bowl.”

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.

trump’s apparent obsession with invading canada — and obsession with territorial conquest in general — is only funny insofar that you can use it to make fun of dipshits who backed or apologizes for him because he was “antiwar.” otherwise, it is genuinely quite concerning.

yeah i think that "american intelligence" insofar as it relates to aggresion against canada is not anyone involved in the formal intelligence services
Is it possible that this kind of operation would be carried by private intel orgs rather than CIA itself?
