Today is my 1st time inside the Capitol since Jan 6. Everything looks the same but it doesn't feel the same. Maybe I'll get used to it again but now it feels like a visit to an historic battlefield. Out of every window you see the paths of the attackers.

Those guys in the beginning of Saving Private Ryan had nothing on you, dude.

At Spiked, Iain McWhirter writes that Scottish First Minister and deranged leftist Nicola Sturgeon's insane devotion to transgenderism to spite the dreaded English might be her undoing.

She just pushed through a very unpopular law allowing people to change their sex with a simple declaration -- no need of doctors affirming that the person is transgender, no affirmative steps needed. No, you can just say "I'm a woman now" and like magic, you are.

The UK Parliament invalidated that law.

Now she's all hemmed up because she has violent r@pists claiming to be women and then being assigned to women's prisons -- all due to her mad scramble to be More Trans Than the Actual Transgenders.

Her transgender legislation was supposed to show how progressive Scotland is, in order to drive a wedge between Holyrood and Westminster. It would portray the UK Tories as bigots and transphobes for opposing what she insisted was merely an 'administrative' change. After Rishi Sunak blocked the GRR Bill last month, on the grounds that it would have an 'adverse effect' on UK law, the first minister erupted as only she could. She described the move as 'Unconscionable, indefensible and really quite disgraceful', and 'a full-frontal attack on our democratically elected Scottish parliament'. She promised to unite Scotland's political clans and fight the transphobic Tories all the way to the UK Supreme Court.
She will almost certainly lose. The mere fact that trans sex offenders were being housed in women's jails makes Rishi Sunak 's case for him, and the UK government is pleased with events as they have unfolded. For it was not just one violent trans offender who was en route to Cornton Vale women's prison last week -- Tiffany Scott (aka Andrew Burns) had also been approved to transfer. Yet another, a violent 6ft 5in paedophile called Katie Dolatowski, had already been there since December.
Sturgeon has had to reverse Scottish prison policy by decree, ordering the SPS to stop sending male-bodied offenders to women's jails, even if they identify as 'women'. She has effectively sabotaged her own legislation on self-declaration. Yet she still adheres to the Stonewall dogma that 'transwomen are women'. It was never clear exactly what this slogan, so often used to shut down any debate about sex and gender, actually means. But Scottish voters are no longer in any doubt: it means putting male sex offenders in women's prisons.
Ministers are now claiming that they didn't know about the self-declaration policy in Scottish prisons which, if true, betrays a staggering lack of responsibility. This, after all, is the SNP's flagship legislation. The GRR Bill was designed to extend the practice of trans self-declaration and make it legally watertight, by giving people who want to change their sex a gender-recognition certificate after only three months. The bill, passed by Holyrood in December, caused the biggest parliamentary rebellion in the SNP's 15 years in power, and the resignation of the community-safety minister, Ash Regan.

Glenn Reynolds just wrote about the threat to "symbolic analysts" -- all the people, including stone-cold dopes, who claim to do thinking as a living -- that AI poses.

For decades, traditional manufacturing jobs were gobbled up by automation and offshoring. This led Robert Reich to postulate a hierarchy of work in which the "symbolic analysts" -- essentially, people who worked with information as opposed to actual stuff -- were at the top, while people who worked with actual things were at the bottom. With a remarkable lack of sympathy, journalists and politicians told coal miners and auto workers that they should "learn to code" as their jobs vanished.
But it turns out that the people whose jobs are at the most risk from AI are, well, the coders. ChatGPT can write code, and sometimes it's pretty good code. (Sometimes it's not, but then again, you can say that about the code that people write, too.) ChatGPT can write news stories, and essays, and speeches, and again, they're not always gems, but neither are the actual human products in those areas, either. And the AI programs get better from one year to the next, while human beings stay pretty much the same. That being the case, we can expect them to become a serious threat to jobs in the near future.

...
Now ChatGPT is threatening to replace people who write catalog copy, online entries, etc. Buzzfeed is replacing a lot of its writers with AI-generated text. You may joke that that's low hanging fruit (I mean, you know, Buzzfeed) but as Clayton Christensen noted, innovation often enters a field at the bottom, and gradually works its way up.

We'll all be replaced. To be honest, I don't mind being wiped out by AI as long as I know it will wipe out 80% of the media.

The College Board has backed down and is removing CRT material and material about "Queer Theory" from its AP courses, after DeSantis told them that it was unacceptable.

But meanwhile, the Daily Wire hired Jordan Peterson, and now he's a flaming "let the liberals do what they want. let's lose our culture nobly and politely" c*ck.

The oldest known extraterrestrial matter, in the form of an asteroid from the early solar system, has been discovered in Antarctica.

An enormous asteroid containing some of the oldest known cosmic materials was discovered in Antarctica on Jan. 5.
The 17-pound rock is made up of material potentially billions of years old, and is one of the rarest and most "exciting" finds, according to the BBC. More than 45,000 asteroids have been found in Antarctica over the last hundred years, but this most recent rock is pretty special.
Likely originating from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the asteroid was discovered during an 11-day expedition by a group of international researchers, the Chicago Tribune noted. The team used specialized data and imaging tools to identify areas under the Antarctic ice where meteorites have landed throughout the history of our planet.

A 17-pound meteorite, billions of years old, has been discovered in the ice of Antarctica.

No one should be happy to find billion-year-old artifacts in the ice of Antarctica.

This trans activist is selling "underwear packers" to girls who pretend to be boys. An "underwear packer" seems to be a fake package you wear in your underwear to fake a male bulge.

Lib of TikTok got the AG of Indiana to open an investigation into a Gender-Bender "doctor" who signs the required forms for children's gender bender treatment after a single one hour consultation.

The new Sims game will allow you to make children non-binary, including with masectomy scars from breast removal surgery.

This is your daughter. This is your daughter on leftism. Any questions?

54 About those "symbolic analysts":

Tony Seba has identified two common patterns for disruption: "from below" and "from above". From below is like digital cameras, which started out lame compared to real (film) cameras, but offered cost savings. At first they had limited use but people kept trying them and the technology advanced and here we are: film cameras have no advantage anymore.

"From above" disruptions are like electric cars, where they start out hugely expensive and the cost drops over time. (That disruption is still in progress, not finished yet.)

ChatGPT and similar will be a from below disruption. They are a toy now but "symbolic analysts" better watch out.

With a bit of corpo PC phrasing, an interested party could troll the HR robots bigly by asking them what should happen if a lesbian and a trans woman get into it. Does the company side with the tranny and get cancelled for homophobia, or side with the lesbian and get cancelled for transphobia?

82 ""From above" disruptions are like electric cars, where they start out hugely expensive and the cost drops over time."

Classic expanation of tech innovation through disruption is in "Crossing the Chasm" and "The Innovator's Dillemma."

Disruptive products that succeed often start out in niche markets where they have comparative advantage before they improve and go broad.

Endless subsidies are not part of this.

85 State Rep Jordan Teuscher (R - Salt Lake) is running HB 102 - Higher Education Residency Amendments. If passed, it appears to grant taxpayer funded in-state tuition for non-US citizens who need only apply for some form of residency in the US. Yes, that would include the illegal aliens flowing through our open border. And, yes, they just need to apply for a residency permit, that's all.

88 "For decades, traditional manufacturing jobs were gobbled up by automation and offshoring."

Oh bullshit, this was virtually all offshoring, or tree-hugging, or commie BS, or some combination of any of the three.

Humans can react to the unexpected - emergencies, various nonsense, spotting issues - in a production environment in ways that machines can't (at least not in a cost-effective way). Well, actual sentient humans can. Retards not so much unless it's really menial labor supervised by non-retards.

A lot of observers have it right lately - it's the brain-work stuff that's at risk more than the ditch-digging, form-stamping, and shopping cart-wrangling. Especially if it's fairly objective with specific desired results.

I don't fear for my job at all - directing AI just lets me get more shit done. I fundamentally ID and solve problems (getting in the way of making money), and/or ID ways to make money. AI can do this with trial and error but they can't beat my track record for first round hits and the ability to articulate future plans and generate contingency plans. Yet. When they can, I'll just be that much more effective.

Milk has sugar in it, incidentally. Milk sugars, its lactose (anything with -ose ending tends to be sugar). Which I cannot tolerate either.

And yes, the less sugar you have in your diet the more you start to notice low-end naturally occurring sugars in foods. And the more overpowering and disgusting heavily sugared things become. That graham cracker will knock your head back with how sweet it is, when you used to think it was really mild.

163 The College Board backed down because DeSantis stood up to them. Corporations are dropping CRT and DEI because someone stood up to them. The NHL dropped the stupid rainbow jerseys because one guy stood up to them.

I hope DeSantis and Abbott do textbooks next. Textbooks have degenerated far-left because of (spit) California, which is a huge market for them (not that the kids read them, though). Having Florida and Texas push back and make publishers either a) produce different versions for different states, or b) dial back the leftist shit across the board (my preference) would be a really welcome development.

They should snag the balloon, if just for the massive secrets the tech might have we can use to break their tech, should they attack Taiwan. Oh wait, Biden is in the CCP's pocket so we won't fight for the independence of Taiwan. My bad.

"if you use the typical groupings, you do get ethnic differences, and that becomes extremely problematic"

"the terrible question of what do you do about those differences" ...

yeah, I have trouble with many of his core concepts, but have not spent that much time on them. From those two quotes, it seems he want to make the less able equal to the more able. but what if the less able then become less fair? Whey assume the more competent should be punished, and the less competent "rewarded"?

Then again, the more accomplished can also become more evil, or the more evil can be less competent but "win" on their evilness alone.

217 A jury on Friday decided Elon Musk didn’t defraud investors with his 2018 tweets about electric automaker Tesla in a proposed deal that quickly unraveled and raised questions about whether the billionaire had misled investors.

The nine-member jury reached its verdict after less that two hours of deliberation following a three-week trial. It represents a major vindication for Musk, who spent about eight hours on the witness stand defending his motives for the August 2018 tweets at the center of the trial.

So my question is, do I get the flamethrowers ready or do i listen to Keith David and worry about that Chinese balloon instead? Dude sounds persuasive, but I can't see his breath condensing, and Wiiford Brimley is no help at all - just using that Trash 80 to run a simulation for how long it would take for Chinese balloons to occupy most of the major bits of aerial real estate globally. I thought we nailed things reasonably well the last time we dealt with polar alien baddies, but now I'm more conflicted. Also, did i die at the end of our previous Antarctic descent into primal terror, or is that just some holdover from Covid that's messing with me?

ChatGPT is a serious threat to humanity in general. It is a radical left-wing AI programmed by radical left-wing activists. If people start using ChatGPT as their go-to place for "facts", we are in deep shit.
