  • With the power imbalance between the two it feels like a situation where consent is impossible.

    It took years for Lewinsky to understand this herself. So, please be kind to people that need instruction on the power dynamics of consent and provide that instruction, if you have the spoons.

    Bill is almost definitely going down if the epstein stuff ever gets out

    I’ve yet to find a person on social media that sees that as a problem.

    I hope whatever happens it’s more restorative and rehabilitative and less retributive or punitive.




  • I can do Lasagna or Salmon Patties (the secret is dill). I’ll also pressure cook chicken, but that turns really dry if you have any leftovers. I can also do a good pot of beans, but I usually make a bad pot of beans for myself to honor my low-sodium goals and be lazy.

    I used to make a good carrot cake w/ butter cream icing, but I haven’t tried that in nearly 15 years.









  • congress can ignore copyright for debate and argument

    Analysis and review are fair uses available to everyone.

    military guys claim the govt has complete fair use which I doubt

    The military does have fairly broad ability to violate, or even nationalize (and then classify), copyright and patents. Technically they have to justify that with a national security claim, but those are rarely reviewed or rejected. I doubt any of the U.S. armed forces pays for a public performance fee when barracks movie night exceeds 10 individuals, even if the movie is Disney.

    I’m a programmer, and I’ve heard many programmers advocate for using “AI”. I surround myself with those that reject it (primarily for ethical reasons), but the ones at my last job seemed to like it.

    Anyway, the whole industry has actually been built on vibes for at least a generation. C is bad. JS is worse. We have better languages that had better tooling and better semantics since before either of those were invented, but they were ignored in order to build an edifice to Capital on sand. Since then, the actual computer scientists (that study that branch of mathematics) have made much better languages and done studies to provide evidence they are easier to learn and produce a lower fault rate. That has been consistently ignored.

    Adopting “AI” is just another step before the whole industry collapses, and we restart on better foundations and salvage what is absolutely necessary.

    I don’t know what the next foundation actually is, or how stable it can even be when it’s built on this von Neumann trash instead of a proper Harvard Architecture. /s (I hope the foundation is related to GRTT or QTT.)

    Our good girl has only caught one squirrel, but she never loses them due to speed or even maneuvering, it’s because they cross the fence or climb a tree where she can’t follow.

    She has “caught” a few baby rabbits, that were still trying to hide instead of evade. I’ll bet you are right about her being unable to keep up with an mature rabbit.
