I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days.

If he ever decides the “end of days” is in progress, I think it would be safer for everyone not to be around him anyway.

Incendiary devices found at shipping hubs could be Moscow putting pressure on West not to support Ukraine

Yeah, that’s totally how countries react to terrorist attacks.

You can’t keep your shit and throw it too.

I know the political environment has been getting increasingly polarized, but that’s taking it a bit too far.

How does it compare to Biden’s early vote lead?

Minor point: Harris is ahead in the poll aggregate; Trump is ahead in the forecast model.

So the brain worms are transmissible?

Ukraine should offer the North Koreans political asylum if they defect.

What else could they do? There’s no way to make a comprehensive list of every Fediverse-supporting server in existence, let alone aggregate their data.

There is one thing I would find genuinely useful that seems within its current capabilities. I’d like to be able to give an AI a summary of my current knowledge on a subject, along with a batch of papers or articles, and have it give me one or more of the following:

• A summary of the papers omitting the stuff I already know

• A summary of any prerequisite background info I don’t already know, but isn’t in the papers

• A summary of all the points on which the papers are in agreement

• A summary of any points where the papers are in contention.
