Yes, Rupert, many people are not ashamed of being left-wing. If only more were ashamed of being right-wing.

I posted this without comment and, oh, the comment followed with many warning signs. It's a bunch of so-called "centrists" (itself a myth) claiming the mantle of "left." I suppose there's a silver lining: "left" is in.

A day off didn't calm Joe down. He's back this morning, ranting about crime in DC, trying to argue this isn't about race, and thinking a fascist takeover of the nation's capital is just ducky.

Identify theft used to be the game of mobsters and spies. Now: "We detail how dishonest researchers exploit the peer-review system by creating fraudulent reviewer profiles to manipulate paper evaluations"

No, idiot. The tariffs are flowing *from* US companies and consumers and voters. It's an unprecedented tax, the #TrumpTax.

He was the last SS guard, about to be tried when he died at 100. Let this warn the ICE agents who think they are only guards, following orders. Your masked crimes against humans and humanity will mark you to the end of your days.

Now I really feel unsafe to fly. Seriously. I was debating a flight to a conference next month. This made my decision for me. I am canceling. Sorry United. You'd better protest. Stop them. Stop them NOW!

Just as news organizations parenthetically list a legislator's or governor's party (R)(D) so should they now reveal any federal judge's appointment (Trump)(Clinton). The court is politicized; that's done. So now inform us with context about their decisions.

This gets perilously close to sanewashing incels, blaming successful women for screwed-up, retrograde, uneducated male anger. "Romantic pessimism pervades the manosphere."

Geriatrics professor scolds #BrokenTimes for ascribing Trump derangement to age: "The article reports a concerning progressive loss of cognitive function and behavioral control that is unlikely to be simply 'normal' aging."

Worse even than the #BrokenTimes's normalizing or bothsidesing, this laughs off Trump's severe derangement & mental disability, making the dangerous cute and the writer clever. Stop!

The interview ends and they cut to George outside and it is QUIETER. They know they have someone with a soft voice and they undercut him with a constant noise. I've done enough TV I know how they can judge background sound and ABC News did not do its job. Shameful.

The audio crew from ABC News is AWFUL. Did they record this on a factory floor?

It would be nice if The Times would give readers the context that many experts think "superintelligence," AGI, and "super alignment" are all bullshit.
