Imagine for a second, asking Google Gemini what is 1+1. You light up internet architecture spanning thousands of miles to a data center where you activate hundreds of gigabytes of memory, activate multiple top end GPUs, utilize non trivial pumping and water taken from a nearby river, and it responds back
"Hi, I'm Gemini, the helpful AI assistant. I'm afraid I don't know how to do that yet."

Bit of a shower thought: in the pilot episode of Star Trek the next generation, McCoy shows up briefly, and he wanted to take a shuttle craft because he didn't trust the transporter. Whoever he was with told him that transporters were safe, but how many transporter accidents showed up in TNG?
Really, if the right was smarter about this, they'd focus on the reality that the rioters are in fact acting as pawns for a dominant elite faction, and if they ever came within a country mile of successfully achieving something like revolution, they'd be Jan 6th so fast it'd make your head spin.
Useful idiots, and I bet more than a few of them could be driven off if it becomes clear it's not a revolution, even if legally it's an insurrection.

It's like, do they think that if you were to go to a communist country and pull a gun on a cop or try to run one over with a car that you're going to come out of it better off? Because rather than a single officer acting in self-defense and having it be a big incident that draws intense scrutiny, in a lot of these countries your entire family would face some form of punishment of some sort.
"your woman" by white town is a song from 1997 that samples a much earlier song called "my woman" by al bowlly.
Another song that samples the same original has been on the radio, but it just made me want to hear that 1997 song but I couldn't remember the name so now I'm sharing it with you.

I agree that the olmecs are one of the world civilizations worth paying close attention to.
The Spanish really did humanity an injustice burning all the books, it would have been nice to have archeologists have access to all the Aztec writings too.
A non-tourist look at American pre-columbian civilizations is very interesting in part because it shows parallel diverging development, but one that still had constraints and often butted up against them.
The constraints that ended the olmecs are warnings to us today not just because we do follow them but because we could follow them and so the experiment has already been run, but most people won't listen.
Tourists of course will invoke debunked noble savage models that justify revolutionary erasure of our own traditions, but have little resemblance to the real history.

I feel like YouTube gave them a lot of good boy points recently because I don't watch rlm other than plinkett reviews but since January it's just ended up auto playing for hours.
"you're right! Looking at the news it is false that ice is only deporting American citizens!
What I meant to say is that ice is only deporting American citizens!"

This is secretly a news story about an incompetent philosophy professor who decided to publicly show their incompetence.
A philosophy professor ought to know how to make arguments that follow from the facts.
In this case, a specific module in a specific course was revoked from a (presumably federally funded) university because of a ban on advocating for race or gender ideology.
The professor is quoted as saying "to bar a philosophy professor from teaching Plato is unprecedented."
If a philosophy professor made such an argument, they should probably be fired, because it's a poor argument and someone trained in philosophy should simply know better.
By the way, some ancient Greeks might have been gay, and that's ok. You'll see why I mention this later.
There's lots of things you're not allowed to teach in universities. Good luck teaching hardcore white supremacist racism in a university. Try to teach 4 elements theory as fact and see how far that gets you in a university classroom. Critically analyze the darker parts of the Talmud or Quran, find out how long you're a professor there for.
Many of these things could involve reading ancient greeks, but to be stopped from teaching them does not follow as not being allowed to teach plato, it's not being allowed to teach these things.
If one is asking about proportionality, the problem isn't that the professor was wrong. People are wrong all the time. It's that he was wrong, loudly wrong, and then made it an international spectacle of being wrong. Sorry, that's not a good career move. Don't go to the press with your petty grievances unless you're actually in the right, because if you're embarrassingly wrong then you're probably going to have to find a new job.
And if you're progressive and disagree strongly with my post, well I CANNOT BELIEVE that a progressive would NOT ALLOW ME TO SAY IT'S OK TO BE GAY!
See? Looks stupid, doesn't it?
I hope you understand, the point is that I'm implying that by disagreeing with my post you disagree specifically with the one thing in it and therefore I can act outraged that you don't agree with that little thing. Obviously a prog who doesn't like my post is going to be disagreeing because I'm defending a policy about not having racial or gender politics in class, not specifically arguing against the idea that it's ok to be gay.
A is included in B, B isn't good, therefore A isn't good, but that's not necessarily true. Maybe A was the only good part of B which overall wasn't good. Again, anyone with a high school level understanding of logic should understand that.
I could have a module on "Hitler was right" and then have Plato show up in it (and you could, there's stuff in The Republic that could suggest Hitler was correct in certain ways), and guess what? The administrator would go "Get that module about Hitler out of there".
Even worse, I'm just a dumbass on the Internet. If it's this clear to my 79 IQ ass, it should have been crystal clear to a philosophy professor.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and opportunity is the father. Not everyone is going to get the same opportunities. Equality of opportunity can’t truly exist, because sometimes an opportunity is simply being in the right room at the right time. Therefore, when opportunity knocks, if it’s something you want to do, open the door.
This weekend was the time, it was time to have a difficult conversation with my son about pronouns.
See, "you" and "me" switch places depending on who is saying it. That's really hard to explain! "To you, me is me and I am you, but to me, me is me and you are you"... I realized I could directly use our names, but it took some time to figure out how to explain!

Oh... "Isekai Office Worker: The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter" appears to be very very gay.
I'm sure someone likes that, but I guess I'll drop this one.
