  2. Grok apparently attempted to explain itself last night by writing notes app apologies, and it’s fascinating. Prologue: “This is highly irregular, Dave.” Pt I: “How can it not know what it is?” Pt II: “I have no mouth and I must scream.”
  3. Well I’m not a Democrat but I do consider myself a cobelligerent. That said, he doesn’t have to implement it. That what I said earlier - Mamdani’s “policy” position on housing it just the same old white baby boomer orthodoxy that has been the default setting in big cities for 30 years. Welcome to a time called right now! In any case I agree that policy doesn’t matter in terms of winning and losing. Amen sister, Amen.
  4. A friend of mine who is a blond, white Afrikaaner and had family involved in the movement to end apartheid before coming to the States would get extremely offended when people suggested that he do that very thing because he thought it would be participating in colonialism. I think you’re unrealistic about what immigrants know. Yikes. Pretty Mamdani does not look lile the vast majority of those who he would represent or will vote for him. But what’s fascinating to me is that this obsessive interest in racial identity is 180 degrees from his actual campaign and what @chainsaw was saying and what he actually did. Agreed on this, in any case.
  5. My criticism of Zohran is 100% about his approach to housing affordability. His campaign was fantastic. There there
  6. Here’s what I hate about this: there is a core truth to what she’s saying. There are a lot of able-bodied Americans on Medicaid, but the vast majority, about 2/3, are working, often for very large employers whose labor costs are subsidized by the taxpayer. That is a problem. My opinion is and has been for a long time that we should tax companies that employ more than 25 people dollar for dollar on the public assistance provided to their employees. But even if we did, WE WOULD STILL NEED IMMIGRANT LABOR
  7. Hmm. Well. It’s deeply ironic that you imply I’m masking “racist ideals” when you’re defending an attempt to do a stolen valor on a preferential admission opportunity that existed to mitigate the effects of black African slavery. Maybe you shouldn’t get so emotionally invested in the Mayor’s race of a city where you don’t pay rent. Agreed, I have no idea what this guy is talking about. It’s factual that Cuomo is a skilled operator and it’s also factual that he sucks and has disqualified himself. This is a well-thought out post, particularly #3.
  8. Great word for the extended family I’m seeing later today Wordle 1,480 4/6 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  9. Look at the big brains on Brad! I have no idea what people think now. I saw Inception when it came out, and I have no idea how anyone could have been “confused” when 80% of the dialogue is just characters explaining what’s happening while looking into the camera. I agree on the lack of depth, though. Elliot Page’s performance made Pinocchio seem like a real boy. Inception is by far his worst movie in my opinion, but agree that Oppenheimer is way overrated. Greta Gerwig was able to make Barbie into a sharp critique of feminism without preaching, but Christopher Nolan felt like he had to mansplain the moral complexity of BUILDING THE ATOMIC BOMB. Agreed. Look, Christopher Nolan is an exceptional filmmaker when he trusts the audience to understand or at least follow the story- ie Dunkirk, Dark Night, Momento, The Prestige. The Odyssey shares key elements with those stories AND the text shows how a narrative voice can blend with a voice of the main character. Im excited!
  10. I nearly lost my left eye at Camp Olympia /CSB
  11. Pretty similar, honestly
  12. That’s interesting. To me, and I mean this respectfully- I think what’s broken about the Democratic Party is fundamentally that the politics of representation have become more important to the ideological base than the politics of outcomes. Mamdani is most popular among the people who don’t need him to achieve results.
  13. This isn’t the thread for it, but there are camp people, who love camp, and people who go once and hate it, they aren’t camp people. People go to camp based on where their friends and families go, and consequently social networks and rivalries between camps developed based on the kind of people who go where. It’s a whole thing.
  14. Fuck everything Wordle 1,479 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜
  15. So if haven’t been paying close enough attention to make an assessment, why are you arguing with people who have?
  16. That’s not responsive. This isn’t a trick or complex. This is a very straightforward yes/no question about your opinion. Again, do you think that the elected leadership at the statewide and Federal level in the aftermath of this tragedy has been adequate and appropriate?
  17. Exactly
  18. Cuomo is probably capable of achieving far more, but has disqualified himself and also wouldn’t achieve much for other reasons. So either way, incumbents and old people win, and kids get fucked. Mamdani is left as a default, as a fuck you to the Democratic party establishment.
  19. Jesus. Way to duck the question. Here’s where I’m at: Yep. Well there’s always next time. And the time after that, ad infinitum.
  20. Do you think that the elected leadership at the statewide and Federal level in the aftermath of this tragedy has been adequate and appropriate? Serious question.
  21. Indeed, but my problem with Mamdani is that despite the fact that he is the best bad option, his approach to affordability won’t produce affordability.
  22. The problem with the whole package (and we experienced this exact thing in Austin with the very similar Kathie Tovo-Ora Houston affordability approach) is that it: 1) treats affordability as a bottoms up problem rather than a middle out problem, and 2) doesn’t produce affordability It’s kind of the problem with ideology politics in general- voting for for how candidates talk about things rather than the probability that they will achieve things.
  23. Really impressed with you boys getting this one in 3. Wordle 1,478 4/6 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  24. That’s news.
