"COMMON SENSE right wing values see both as clearly bad. " Just what are those? The right wing value to shoot anyone they don't like? Setting up an Gestapo with surveillance powers over all Americans? The right wing value to determine local elections by banning those they do not like from voting? The right wing value to shit all over transsexuals because they just might use a bathroom of which they do not approve? The right wing value to screw over poor peoples healthcare? The right wing value to take their tax money and spend it on private schools for their budding Nazi sprogs? The right wing value to accost people on the street because they look darker than they think they should be?

Or the right wing value to force everyone to show the love of Jesus Christ or get it beaten into them? The right wing value to institutionalize Racism? The right wing value to ban vaccines so that the proles can enjoy a resurgence of polio, measles, etc.? The right wing value to increase mercury pollution from coal fired power plants?

Life is too short to list them right wing values.

Comment Re: It's the economy, stupid (Score 4, Insightful) 366

And yet the Maggots with which la Presidenta has populated parts of the government will remain. They never had an ounce of sense (look at whom they follow) and they will continue to screw things up for years to come. The Red states they've taken over will become an even greater drain on the economy.

Also, the graft and corruption he incorporated into the government and business will also remain and be difficult to weed out.

There's an article on the NYT front page about how cryptocurrencies are diving because there is no use for them. The crypto-bros spent heavily to get their dimwits elected and the dimwits have a bill in Congress to create a "national crypto stockpile". el Bunko profited very well off those idiots and to pay them back he removed just about all crypto-controls, he even pardoned a felon who was convicted for fraud. Should the U.S. have a crypto-stockpile, it will turn to dust as will all the tax dollars they spend on it.

The Art of the Grift just keeps on giving. The Big Stupid Bill lowered Amazon's taxes from roughly $9.2 Billion to roughly $2.6 Billion according to the WSJ. They weren't the only company profit from that boondoggle.

When the U.S. gets close to defaulting on the debt, and it will after el Bunko has left office, he'll be whining how it didn't happen while HE was the alleged president so he should bear no responsibility. He'll declare himself completely exonerated just like he claims the release of the el_bunko-Epstein files exonerated did...and please do not look at the redactions, missing files, and unreleased files or the Special Prosecutor's Report on him stealing classified documents now that his toady judge in Florida, Aileen Cannon, is attempting to seal the for all time (her sealing is on appeal to the 11th Circuit).

Yep, glad you asked. Her latest gambit, dovetailing with the alleged administration, is to stretch out her Habeas Corpus petition for as long as possible. She's doing this by claiming she has no money for lawyers. However, in another case in which she is involved, she's being represented by one of the most expensive law firms in the country out of Colorado. Either she has the money socked away or is being propped by "friends".

Why would she stretch out her petition? The administration can use this as an excuse to keep her in the country club prison where she is. The ultimate deal she's making with la Presidenta (this is speculation but it is not mine, it is made by lawyers) is that she can expect a pardon as one of la Presidenta's last acts in office. So she will essentially get off scott-free. What does la Presidenta get out of it? None of the dirt she has on him will become public. Funny how our justice system works, eh?

All an adversary need do is plant a few new stories on State Regime Media (Fox) about how the F-35 is being "misused" by one of the U.S. "partners". la Presidenta is sure to see it and start throwing his toys out of the pram again and order the Tetragon (the Fox host running the joint lost a side. but he clams its is around somewhere) to brick a "partner's" F-35.

Shortly thereafter, the "partner" will breath a sigh of relief and go shopping elsewhere so that Lockheed-Martin can go and suck eggs.

"Overall evolution is running out of explanation for the ever larger facts that are challenging its claims. The most obvious of these are the irreducible complexity of many biological mechanisms that make their spontaneous emergence an unreasonably unlikely event; a lot of the time the evolutionist position comes down to: 'of course it must have been evolution because I refuse to consider the alternative'. THAT is a faith statement ;)"

Ah, yet another variation on: gee, everything is sooooo complex, I don't understand it, therefore God. Grow up, grasshopper. There is no credible alternative to "evolution". God is not a credible alternative. Ever see him? Has he ever said squat to you? Can we test him for observations? No, no, and no.

"the irreducible complexity of many biological mechanisms that make their spontaneous emergence an unreasonably unlikely event;"

The irreducible complexity argument is right out of Intelligent Design, i.e., create a strawman and then declare him real. "spontaneous emergence", yep, and you understand nothing about evolution if that is what you think. "unreasonably unlikely event", Oh? So it is unfathomable to you so it must not have happened?

Try this, go to your bank and demand money because you cannot understand why they just don't just hand you a bag of it.

Secret Service Agent (in an aside to his boss): I don’t believe this is real.

Boss (whispering): It isn’t!

SSA: How do you know?

Boss: Hehehehehe..come by my office later and I’ll show you.

Later

SSA: Well boss, you were going to show me something?

Boss: Get in the car, we’ll take a little trip.

Unfortunately, Kash Patel runs into them in the hallway and demands to go with them on a real live mission. He’s VERY excited.

They drive to a secret location.

SSA (whispers to his boss): Shouldn’t he have a blindfold on?

Boss: it won’t matter, you’ll see.

They arrive, get out of the car, and go down an elevator 80 stories. They get out and enter a lab.

Chief Scientist: Why Boss, this is a pleasant surprise, do you need replacements?

Boss: No, they are working just as we ordered.

SSA: What a weird place. What’s in those sarcophagi?

CS: Uh..you don’t want to look in one. Many people find it..disturbing.

Boss: Oh go ahead and show him, he’s got a strong stomach.

Kash Patel nearly wets himself with excitement.

CS: Well okay, which should I show him?

Boss: This one has a green light blinking on top.

CS: That means it is ready.

CS opens the nearest sarcophagus. A puff of blue smoke issues forth. And Kristi Noem is standing there in a Wonder Woman costume.

Boss: Wow!! Well done!! I see you have corrected the psycho eyes.

SSA takes a closer look.

SSA: Yeah, I can see the difference, there’s a bit more effervescence in these.

Kash Patel (peering a bit further down): They look so real.

CS: And they feel real too, touch one.

Kash Patel: Wow (squeeze, squeeze).

Kriski Noem floors him with a punch.

Kash gets up breathless.

Kash: That was Wonderful!!

CS: We had to be bit careful with the Pete Hegseths. If anyone says the wrong word around him, his right arm does a Dr. Strangelove salute. Although for your application, this should not be a problem.

Kash: Errrmmm..do they walk and talk?

CS: You betcha. Recall those amazing AI-Pets they have in Japan? Those were only our export models, we didn’t make those nearly as complete as these.

The damages have already happened. The major vax producers have announced cuts to the mRNA research and are going close a few facilities and going to lay off some workers. Exactly as those intellectual midgets, RFK and the anti-vaxxers and the Maggots intended. Now they are trying to eat their cake and everyone else's too.

mRNA is the most exciting of the vaccine technologies. They were working on anti-cancer vaccines, and those were mRNA as well.

To the pearl clutching anti-vaxxers and Maggots who got their dainty little panties in a twist by hearing mRNA and thinking DNA, mRNA is not taken up by cells to produce DNA. mRNA codes for amino acids, not DNA. You are pissing up the wrong tree, dolts. Learn how those vaccines (and DNA and RNA and mRNA) work before you lose what's left of your reasoning capabilities.

This may be a comment ancillary to what you wrote but I wonder if similar issues raises by https://www.theregister.com/20... occur for programming. They use the term "semantic ablation" to help explain why AI prose is so vapid. I think of semantic ablation as the evil twin of hallucination; the latter introduces new "information" while the former subtracts "information". The major points from that article (verbatim) are

Stage 1: Metaphoric cleansing. The AI identifies unconventional metaphors or visceral imagery as "noise" because they deviate from the training set's mean. It replaces them with dead, safe clichés, stripping the text of its emotional and sensory "friction."

Stage 2: Lexical flattening. Domain-specific jargon and high-precision technical terms are sacrificed for "accessibility." The model performs a statistical substitution, replacing a 1-of-10,000 token with a 1-of-100 synonym, effectively diluting the semantic density and specific gravity of the argument.

Stage 3: Structural collapse. The logical flow – originally built on complex, non-linear reasoning – is forced into a predictable, low-perplexity template. Subtext and nuance are ablated to ensure the output satisfies a "standardized" readability score, leaving behind a syntactically perfect but intellectually void shell.
