  • Not because of emails. And a lot of things prevent the release of actual photos or videos except super redacted. For good reasons, but still it would take witnessing him actually raping someone for them to do anything. And even then you’re not going to get everyone.

    “Sounds like she’s enjoying it.”

    “He didn’t hit her that hard, that was just a love tap.”

    And of course, “any man would ‘give in’ surrounded by beautiful women all the time,” but only from a woman, because no guy is going to sign his name to saying there’s a certain number of women at which point he’s helpless but to rape a few.








  • Trump is a singular idiot, and because he only speaks at about a 3rd grade level, he has been able to politically activate a part of the population that was disinterested in politics because it was above their head.

    If you look at voting patterns, there are an astounding number of voters who go to the polls to vote for Trump and leave the booth without voting for anyone else. In Michigan there were hundreds of thousands of fewer votes for Supreme Court justices than for Trump. Because those races are nominally non-partisan, they had no idea who to vote for. The liberal candidates both won handily while Trump took the state. Midterms have gone against Republicans and I think it’s because Trump isn’t on the ballot.

    I think if we can get Trump out of office, there is a good chance America will return to normalcy, albeit with a greater awareness of the current of fascism that bubbles before the surface.


  • It’s perfectly fine to like something that isn’t art. Hell, it’s perfectly fine to have a definition of art that can include AI, that’s just a framing for talking about the things AI does well vs. the things it doesn’t. I find that where a human can mix different things together in a way that enriches the whole, AI mixes things together in contradictory ways because it lacks human experience. It’s why, AI pictures usually come out flat and lifeless or includes nonsense details that don’t fit or includes requested details in incongruous ways.

    That said, I only know about Hatsuni Miku through my kids. I don’t really know anything about that specifically.









  • If you are starting from a place of zero knowledge about investing, invest in a S&P 500 indexed mutual fund with the minimum “load” (percentage taken by the platform/company you invest through).

    That will never be the wrong move, though other strategies might perform better in some cases.

    Starting your own business is fraught. Investing in real estate is a completely different beast and I can’t offer anything there.
