I suspect that DEI is going to be one of the reasons why Dogey America would lose a civil war. Gay furry hackers DEI vs Hegseth DUI, there is no question about who has passion and competence. The only thing that Hegseth loves or knows is the bottle.

I would welcome that. It would make it easier for an AOC/Walz ticket to steal Kamala's thunder. Walz can speak plainly about Kamala, and it wouldn't be flattering.

I have good health insurance, but still resist going to the doctor out of fear of debt entrapment. It is paranoia, but looking at other people, the fear takes hold of me. I fear poverty more than death, because life without the nice things ain't worth living with.

I think a fair chunk of people just don't care. Regardless of who is in charge, so long as they don't suffer much, they will go with anything. If the USA was a social leftist society, such people would just go along with it, because they are not concerned with politics.

Anyhow, I hope that we can destroy capitalism as we know it and replace it with a largely leftist system, with it designed to transition into a post-scarcity society. Yarvin's Cabal might have opened the door to that possibility. If the elite hurt enough people, it is pretty likely that we can have a French Revolution scenario.

May Saint Luigi watch over us, and hollowed thrice over be his gun.

The American police were invented to capture black folks and to guard the elite's interests, not to safeguard the things that make civilization worth having.

Sending a Terminator to take down conservative characters throughout history would do the world good. The guys who shot Lincoln and President Garfield? Gone. Hitler? MyPillowed in the crib. The police who assassinated the Black Panther leadership? Reduced to ham cutlets before they can go to work.

Alas, we don't have a benevolent SkyNet to save us from cruddy outcomes. We will have to do it ourselves, in the now and future.

It is good(?) that he released capable workers from federal service...so that they can serve someplace more democratic. The more that Yarvin's Cabal undercut their own competency and reinforces the good guys, the better it is for the free world.

Personally, I find that for (local AI), the recently released 111b Command-A is pretty good. It actually grasps the concepts of the dice odds that I set up for a D&D-esque JRPG style. Still too slow on mere gamer hardware (DDR4 128gb + RX 4090) to be practical, but still an impressive improvement.

Sadly, Cohere is located in the US. On the other paw, they operate in California and New York from my brief check. This is good, that means it less likely for them to obey Trump's stupidity.

While I do prefer absolute free speech for individuals, I have no illusions about what Trump is saying behind closed doors: "Make it like me, and everything that I do." I don't want an government to decide for me and others what is right.

Also, science, at least the peer reviewed stuff, should be considered free of bias. Real world mechanics, be it physics or biology, can't be considered biased. We need science, because it makes life better. A false science, such as phrenology or RFK's la-la-land ravings, needs to be discarded because it doesn't help anyone. Not even the believers.

Our politicians of a Sithian persuasion want to use Force Lightning on their enemies and subjects. Sadly(?), mitochondria are not quite the same as midi-chlorians.

IIRC, the average American has less than $500 in savings. We are in "three meals away from revolution" territory.

Here's hoping that an uninspected briefcase of questionable origin ends up by Musk someday.
