Was Matt Gaetz's power move a smart one?

  • The Republicans don't govern; they engage in political theater. He is taking this to a further extreme.

    • Nobel Prize awarded for discovery of quantum dots that changed everything from TV displays to cancer imaging

  • I can not fathom how anyone could suggest that something made of cadmium should be used as a biological marker or anywhere in the human body.

    • Predictive Policing Software Is Terrible At Predicting Crimes

    Jump

  • The police need crimes and criminals to justify their existence. If the criminals are selected by a computer program, that is sufficient for their purposes.

    • Chicago woman, 104, skydives from plane, aiming for record as the world's oldest skydiver

    Jump

  • Now use a 104 year old parachute, and you'll really have a record.

    • Ukraine aid is dropped from government funding bill. That raises questions about future US support

    Jump

  • The problem is that politics do not stop at the border. Support for Ukraine has become yet another culture war, us-vs-them battleground. It doesn't really matter what the issues are anymore, only that there has to be conflict over them to keep attention whores in the news cycle.

    Jump

  • A country that is already fighting a war on its home turf is going to find it very hard to find the human and financial resources to build a large domestic arms industry. They probably will not prevail unless they receive foreign aid, both financial and military.

    • Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors

    Jump

  • It's grim to think the driver for renewable energy will be the demand for endless AI synthesized child porn.

    • Trump Offers Californians a Solution For Wildfires: ‘Dampen Your Forests’

    Jump

  • The problem is that you should show Trump a forest and explain forest fires to him, and he would think he's smarter. His head is too far up his ass to think about anything that doesn't please him or feed his ego.

  • "Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize." - Tom Lehrer

    • US offers Poland rare loan of $2 billion to modernize its military

    Jump

  • I'm just sayin.... maybe Poland's rhetoric about Ukraine lately has more to do with distracting the electorate from the Law and Justice party Cash for Visas scandal. It doesn't seem in Poland's interest to let a neighbor like Ukraine be compromised by the greatest strategic threat to Poland, and they and the Baltic states have the most to lose if Russia gets a further foothold in Eastern Europe. Domestic politics needs to stop at the border.

  • Racist Doorbell is the name of my new surf/punk band.

    • "waves of technological innovation" have gotten faster over time, "students might now find themselves learning skills in college that are obsolete by the time they graduate"

    Jump

  • Crypto and AI have rewritten the book on the laws of physics. Now you can defy gravity with AI!

    • A new Supreme Court case could trigger a second Great Depression

    Jump

  • I can't help thinking that a decision of this destructive magnitude would probably trigger nuking the filibuster and trigger packing the court. It would destroy the separation of powers in the government.

    • Unity announces its revamped pricing model | After outcry from the gaming community, Unity revealed a new plan that’s a drastic departure from what was initially announced.

    Jump

  • Many software companies in niche industries with few options end up being bought out by conglomerates or private equality which then turn the screws to their captive users.

    • Dallas mayor switches parties to join GOP

    Jump

  • Maybe the Democratic party needs to vet their nominees better. Otherwise it's not going to be a political party anymore, just a name to exploit.

    • AI-focused tech firms locked in ‘race to the bottom’, warns MIT professor

    Jump

  • I think Max Tegmark is like other public intellectuals, for example, Michio Kaku, that have to say something controversial periodically to stay in he news and maintain their reputation.

    • Biden is telling his donors that Trump is out to destroy democracy

    Jump

  • Exactly this. He's not a political theorist, he's a mobster.

    • John Fetterman Invokes Homer Simpson To Respond To Latest Round Of Conspiracy Theories

    Jump

  • To be fair, Krusty the Clown and Homer Simpson are body doubles. Maybe there's a cynical clown version of John Fetterman somewhere.

    • A Batman researcher said 'gay' in a talk to schoolkids. When asked to censor himself, he quit

    Jump

  • He should have let himself be fired. Then he could have brought a lawsuit against the school district over the matter. The school district would have had to demonstrate their reason to fire him on the record. If the researcher received damages for wrongful termination, the taxpayers would know it's their money that is being frivolously spent to support someone's homophobic agenda.
