ChatGPT and Student Essays: In which english class is exposed for what it is, tedious make-work πŸ”—
1673650992  


If you can't write at least as well as clockwork, what the hell are you even doing? I remain skeptical that this will finally force the education system to actually teach people how to enjoy writing well enough to do it on a regular basis. They'll just bury their heads in the sand and be happy that technology is artificially inflating standardized test scores like calculators have done for decades now.

Patreon on the Blockchain πŸ”— 1673377191  


Still won't stop you from being Chokepointed/KYC'd out of biz by exchanges & banksters RE the "last leg" of that monetary flow, but at least should prevent retarded shit like randomly cancelling fully funded projects because a Karen complained about it.

US to make secondary alliance agreements with Sweden due to failing NATO bid πŸ”— 1673375796  


I'm sure this won't please the Turks, as it effectively means going forward with the meat of joining NATO without acceding to their demands in keeping with the NATO treaty.

Afghanistan is Healing πŸ”— 1673367974  


The sons of the old republic get to fulfill a long awaited desire to return to normalcy by implementing one of the great plans of the old republic. A shame they had to wait till they were old men to see their fathers' dreams realized.

John Kiriakou and Scott Horton on JFK, 9/11 and the non-pardons of whistleblowers πŸ”— 1672855768  



Huge news on all these fronts. Pretty much a slam dunk the CIA had to have known about Oswald now. Similarly, 9/11 is 100% the usual Saudi cynical game with Ikwhan kooks. Makes the carlyle group chicanery pretty obvious carrot/stick compromat, and everything else is explained by agency incompetence and interservice rivalry. Also, Trump failed to pardon the whistleblowers thanks to coercion by Cocaine Mitch.

Why Everything became woke πŸ”—
1672777465  


...my critics and I both missed something that might not have been obvious 30 years ago. By the late 1990s the rapid expansion of the universities came to a halt, especially in the humanities. Faculty openings slowed or stopped in many fields. Graduate enrollment cratered. In my own department in 10 years we went from accepting over a hundred students for graduate study to under 20 for a simple reason. We could not place our students. The hordes who took courses in critical pedagogy, insurgent sociology, gender studies, radical anthropology, Marxist cinema theory, and postmodernism could no longer hope for university careers.

What became of them? No single answer is possible. They joined the work force. Some became baristas, tech supporters, Amazon staffers and real estate agents. Others with intellectual ambitions found positions with the remaining newspapers and online periodicals, but most often they landed jobs as writers or researchers with liberal government agencies, foundations, or NGOs. In all these capacities they brought along the sensibilities and jargon they learned on campus.

Why there are tweaking bums everywhere now πŸ”— 1672777043  


9th circuit tortured the 8th Amendment into compliance, so now the only way you can arrest for vagrancy is by giving them a house. Everyone living in town soon will know the joys of being regularly screamed at by psychotics high on drugs that smell like something crawled up their ass and died.

Read part 1 linked in TFA as well. Entirely correct that the only way to truly make it newspeak is to kill what makes it work so well.

NYT clutches pearls about the 2ch guy πŸ”— 1672428356  


Since he owns 4ch now. The whiners have no answer to his argument "we do not live in a utopia". Society is now and always has been chock fulla nuts.

Sodium-Sulfur battery breakthrough? πŸ”— 1671565110  


The regulators will of course pooh-pooh it out of existence due to it emitting toxic gases when exposed to humid air.

CBAM: the EU's Smoot-Hawley πŸ”— 1671560210  


Extreme foolishness, but to be expected. Really just a way to sneak in the kind of tariffs under cover of greenwashing needed to mobilize their economy for world war 3.

BOJ throws in the towel on murdering the Yen πŸ”— 1671559994  


Astonishing. Took them longer than the Afghan war to realize they were licked. I suspect their 5 year plan to re militarize will inevitably result in backsliding. Nevertheless, this deflated punters out there hoping for J-Pow to spike the punch bowl again.

Bending over backwards to appease hamstering neurotics describes much of public policy. I like that the doc is sympathetic -- To some degree functional disorders are like being shell shocked. Even when you know it's mostly in your head you can't help yourself easily. Like habit formation, it's hard, time-consuming work to install new software in your own head.

Merkel lets slip that Minsk II was a ruse πŸ”— 1670698300  


Even if not actually true at the time, this willingness to be publicly duplicitous is hugely damaging to the prospects of diplomacy.

Journalists beginning to realize they've lost the kulturkampf πŸ”— 1670455796  


I remember saying years ago that the pivot BAP made to being Aesthetics first would likely carry the day, as it's at least not boring bullshit Karens teaching the next generation are into.

Great to hear.

Sounds about like how things went with our Kabinetskriegs post 9/11. That will change when they get to find out like every generation does that war is a racket.

Pentagon finally admits they can't supply the Ukranian effort without mobilizing the economy further πŸ”—
1670284876  


They'd need to ramp up production 30x to actually fulfill on the ground needs, so I suppose it's back to "guns and butter" lunacy.

BONUS: As expected, the rat line to smuggle shipments falling off the back of trucks to NATO's terrorist buddies around the world is fully operational.

Matt Taibbi: Don't trust mainstream media πŸ”—

Getting things right is hard enough. The minute we try to do anything else in this job, the wheels come off. Until we get back to the basics, we don’t deserve to be trusted. And we won’t be.
Ding Ding Ding. Everywhere I work this is the truth. Do the job right, and keep your damn opinion to yourself. If people want to know how you think, make them do the stalker shit all girls do to guys they're interested in.

BONUS: He got the scoop from Elon RE shenanigans at twitter dot com. Sounds about like I expected, acephalous corporate doing what it does best

In the wake of the return of Netanyoohoo and the annexation of the west bank, it sounds like they are getting serious about settling it by force.

ActivityPub remains an excessively chatty protocol, and they layer on retarded levels of server side caching atop that. Idea: do all this crap in JS, so that at least you only get a request for content when people actually view it.

The Political Marginalization of the Ordinary Person πŸ”—
1668706080  


A guy comes to the same conclusions as much of the right has, but from a fresh direction out of the left. It is worth noting that this professionalization of the political class and its attendant complexity is straight out of Tainter's "Collapse of Complex Societies". People overcomplicating their lives on even a personal level almost always is the cause of relationships to collapse; it is the same with polities.

His whole substack is worth reading. It's enormously promising to see a progressive realize what we've been saying ever since they took us off gold and BTK'd us in red tape. Capitalism didn't fail, it was murdered!

Hey, when it comes to scamming uncle sucker nobody else comes close! An integral nationalist Jewish Slav frankenstate doesn't have to make much sense, just like a colonial apartheid state of the same in the Levant doesn't have to either.

UPDATE: Thierry has a great piece on the history of the Ukie Integral Nationalist movement. Worth particularly noting their tight integration with GLADIO and the crazies in the basement. This means the bureaucracy at state will never, ever give up on them.
