The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Look at this iconic photograph. A police dog lunges at a young Black protester in Birmingham, Alabama, May 1963. He’s pinned, terrified, the dog’s teeth bared.

And in the silence between the chaos, Gandhi is there.

The best feature of LLMs is the shamelessness with which we can ask the dumbest questions. Which is the prerequisite to intellectual and personal growth.

One of the best books I read in 2024 was Fire Weather. Wonderful writing.

Highly recommend to anyone trying to make sense of these awful LA fires. Makes you feel viscerally what it must be to encounter these fires in your own home or as a firefighter.

@HHorsley Its context, perhaps

Gah! No. If you think this is gouging then start a company that offers lower interest rates. You’ll have a lot of customers and be super successful.

I look forward to working with the Trump Administration on fulfilling his promise to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.

We cannot continue to allow big banks to make record profits by ripping off Americans by charging them 25 to 30% interest rates.

That is usury.

Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.

Interesting. In the late 70s, we saw a reemergence of patriotism. Maybe the late 2020s will be the same?

@thatbenmiller @pitdesi @elonmusk Agree. And it’s not open source in India either. The authorities have resisted doing so.
