The New Hotness? Get outside, do things with the guys:
British author Mary Harrington speculates than an afternoon spent fishing in the company of other men has x10 the therapeutic benefit of a counselor's office visit. Get outside. Be out there doing things with other men. And if you have a good relationship with your father, spend… https://t.co/RFHCDm7eJI

ATTACK DOG WITH A SMILE:
Vance is so damn good at this. Look at how affable he is while hitting CNN, MS NOW, and Politico in the middle of the head with a ball-peen hammer.
"Special access" is the exact right way to frame this…
Because that's what it is…
And we all remember these outlets pushing…

DENMARK TOOK IN 321 PALESTINIAN REFUGEES IN 1992. DECADES LATER, 61% HAD BEEN CONVICTED OF CRIMES:
Denmark granted special residence permits to 321 stateless Palestinians from Lebanon in 1992. By the end of 2019, Danish government data showed that 196 of the original 321 (61%) had been found guilty of at least one criminal offense.
Together, the 196 accumulated 881 criminal… pic.twitter.com/4UZFwdW7mT

REAGAN WAS RIGHT ON STAR WARS: More than 1,500 Iranian ballistic missiles have been intercepted before striking U.S. military targets and other targets in Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East.
The President who first proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) nee “Star Wars” in 1983 was lambasted for proposing the impossible. Too bad those critics aren’t around today to see Reagan’s vision being fulfilled.

*Because they do.
ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Do COVID And AI Rhyme?
Think about that for a moment.
Some of the people leading the race are now asking government to help slow the race.
Business titans generally don’t beg Washington to regulate their industries. When they do, it is reasonable to ask why.
Perhaps these executives genuinely fear what they are creating. Given the extraordinary capabilities of AI, that possibility should not be dismissed.
But there is another possibility.
Regulation is expensive. Giant corporations can afford armies of lawyers, compliance officers, lobbyists, engineers, and safety researchers. Smaller competitors and startups often cannot. What begins as a regulatory guardrail can eventually become a competitive moat.
Investor Steve Eisman, famous for anticipating the 2008 housing collapse, recently made precisely this argument, suggesting that AI companies warning of catastrophe may benefit from regulations that protect dominant firms from competitors.
That doesn’t prove motive, but it certainly makes the question worth asking.
And the political cavalry was arriving at roughly the same time.

Good call. If AI really is as dangerous as their paid activists claim, the solution is more liability.
As for the claim liability will strangle the industry, the fix is neuter the trial lawyer lobby, not give out free passes to break stuff… https://t.co/q87Yb0mFdc

FASCINATING: Something Very Strange Is Happening With Trump and AI Users — and It Just Might Swing the Midterms. “Americans who use artificial intelligence (AI) tools every day are the only AI-usage group to give President Donald Trump a net positive approval rating, a new Rainey Center poll has found.”
IDEOLOGICAL DIVERSITY APPARENTLY HAS ITS LIMITS AT WHITMAN. The student senate voted 25–0 against recognizing the Republican Club after scrutinizing its politics, and FIRE is calling on the college to give the group a fair, viewpoint-neutral shot.

FLASHBACK: The Banality of Leninism. “Historians often act like Lenin’s tyranny was a bolt from the blue: Who would have expected a bunch of socialists to be so bloodthirsty? Admirers of Lenin, in contrast, often paint him as a great innovator – at least as a strategist. A dictatorship of the proletariat run by a vanguard party of bourgeois intellectuals? Only Lenin could have conceived it. When you read 19th-century Russian literature, however, “Leninist” memes clearly predate the birth of Lenin. Contrary to many historians, Lenin’s atrocities were foreseeable. And contrary to Lenin’s admirers, his strategy of atrocity was pure cliche.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Effective Altruism is evil. “These people are impossible to parody. I wish I could convey to you how absurd this is, but any straightforward description of it makes one sound insane.”
