declining to pay a bloodthirsty podcast personality millions of dollars a year to celebrate political assassinations or agitate for further violence is not “cancel culture.” that was just called being a normal ethical human being until five minutes ago.

no more gaslighting from former libs who made their bargain with the devil. there is only one relevant "authoritarian" political faction in america. it is the DSA. if you are supporting or enabling the DSA, you are an authoritarian.

Tyler Cowen: 'I am not even sure what to say at this point. We need a radical revaluation of this work, and of the associated policy arguments. More generally, this is only a single step in the story of how AI is going to revise economic science, and indeed past research more generally. As I stress in many of my recent talks, there will be significant gains and losses in status, with the losses often outweighing the gains. I see this as one of those cases.'

Neeraja Deshpande: Do you feel vindicated? David Sabatini: Yes. I’d been saying that once someone looks at all the data, at all the documents, they will come to a different conclusion. And I think a jury trial — seven women, six men — is the gold standard for adjudicating things in the world. It really made me so proud to be an American and to see how a jury trial operates — the formality, the care, the attempts to remove bias, the protocol. I hadn’t experienced those things.

As I was saying. According to The New York Times: Not only is Daniel J. Sullivan in Alaska running solely to confuse voters, the top Democratic candidate in the state was involved in recruiting Dan Sullivans for this very purpose. Totally corrupt, unethical, and condemnable.

david sabatini is one of the brightest scientists in america. years after a fake rape accusation shattered his life and career, he sued his accuser and won. he discussed the details of this shocking story with @neerajadeshp for pirate wires:

Your options as a woman in show business appear to be do nothing at all and have people post “what happened to her” before and after photos, accusing you of not being 23 forever, or trying to stop the ravages of time and have people post “what happened to her” before and after photos, accusing you of not being 23 forever. Or, if you’re in the top .1% of genetics like Helen Mirren, you get to be used as an example of how to “age gracefully”. Bleak.

Former MIT scientist David Sabatini just won $6 million in a landmark case against false allegations of r*pe and sexual assault, which destroyed his career. Once on track to win the Nobel Prize, Sabatini’s ex-girlfriend accused him of r*pe in 2020 and began calling him the ‘Weinstein of science.’ He was later accused of perpetuating a “bro culture” in his lab. As a result, he was stripped of all his funding, lost his job, and went bankrupt. We interviewed Sabatini (@DMSabatini) about the verdict, which he says made him “proud to be an American.” @neerajadeshp reports 👇

This article is full of blatant misinformation. "The components Luckey specified that are planned to be American-made from the start are the display glass, the frame around the display, and parts of the ribbon component." No. That is not what I said. This was a response to a specific question about the display modules in the current prototype vs the final product. As I explicitly said, BlueChip has American chips, batteries, metallics, plastics, glass, etc, and we have a clear technical roadmap to 100% American components. "It sounds like BlueChip’s first laptop will be well below the 65-percent requirement to count as American-made" This is nuts. There is a reason no other reporter has came to this conclusion. One hint might be the extended discussion we had explicitly about the government requirements for American-made hardware and why meeting that bar is so important. "Palmer Luckey is of course a controversial figure, with his history of fueling right wing troll farms" This never happened. You are pushing a lie The Verge has pushed for over a decade now. Yes, you have written a bunch of stories claiming this happened, but it just ain't so. I gave $9,000 to a group that ran a single anti-Clinton billboard. The "right wing troll farms" narrative was a fabricated story pushed shortly before the 2016 election because Dems desperately wanted a right-wing equivalent to the actually-real Correct The Record, an online astroturfing organization that paid people to troll and "correct" Trump supporters online. But there was no such thing. It was all disinformation. Which is why most of the stories about it were later deleted. Yet here you are, lying again.

This! @christianbrits pans the "unethical travesty" that is Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything. "There's no getting around the fact that Nathan Fielder made a crooked bargain to get his documentary made," he writes. I agree. I'm surprised, and a bit disappointed, that more people aren't denouncing the filmmakers' tactics. Fielder made a documentary about someone who conned people out of money they were owed—and then goes and does something... kind of similar.

San Francisco’s budget is $17B - the largest per capita major county budget in the USA. More than Singapore or Oslo. It doesn’t feel like that bc of rampant corruption by @sfgov. Lighting another $100M of taxes on fire will change nothing. Vote NO on J (and all new taxes).
