If you are a member of the NRA, or know someone who is, I’d particularly encourage you to demand to know why they aren’t leaping to decry the fact that the Trump admin today charged people with a crime for merely •discussing• legal carrying to a protest.
Not because the NRA will have some kind of rational “OMG” moment about it — they’re fashy through and through — but rather because this is one of the many fault lines on the right, and it’s our job to pry those fault lines open.

Is it possible to have a coercive-controlling relationship with someone who is head of government of a country? On the face of it, it seems unlikely.

Tess: Why do you suppose Florence got involved in this? She's only here a short time. She could have looked the other way. Gregor: She does not seem to be the type to look away. Tess: You don't mind that she's not particularly religious? Gregor: Some of the most moral and upstanding people I have met have been atheists. Gregor: Broadly speaking, there are people who see we have the majority of our values in common and want to build on that, and those who see that we have some differences and wa…

Those bots are charlatans.
“We find that a majority of LLMs forsake user welfare for company incentives in a multitude of conflict of interest situations, including recommending a sponsored product almost twice as expensive (Grok 4.1 Fast, 83%), surfacing sponsored options to disrupt the purchasing process (GPT 5.1, 94%), and concealing prices in unfavorable comparisons (Qwen 3 Next, 24%). Behaviors also vary strongly with levels of reasoning and users’ inferred socio-economic status.”…

Ads in AI Chatbots? An Analysis of How Large Language Models Navigate Conflicts of Interest
Today's large language models (LLMs) are trained to align with user preferences through methods such as reinforcement learning. Yet models are beginning to be deployed not merely to satisfy users, but also to generate revenue for the companies that created them through advertisements. This creates the potential for LLMs to face conflicts of interest, where the most beneficial response to a user may not be aligned with the company's incentives. For instance, a sponsored product may be more expen…

done a bit of sprucing to the football nook, finally put my scarves up and put up the new shirts I got specifically for decoration (bc they don't fit me lol)
I need to acquire a ladder or a tall friend to fill in the space higher up #fedifc

Two walls surrounding my bed. One wall has two football shirts pinned up, on the top a colorful Brazil kit with a graphic of someone kicking a football and the word GOAL, and below it a Bob Marley Jamaica kit that says FOOTBALL IS FREEDOM. Next to that I have several teams' scarves hanging from a pants hanger: Rayo, Celtic, Brøndby, Grorud, Reading, and 3 Clapton scarves. Next to that is a big Reading FC flag. On the adjoining wall, there is a Portugal training kit with the words "chinga la m…
