with a straight face, a podcast host says he is unwilling to travel for an interview with the vice president of the united states of america and democratic nominee for president
Replying to @joerogan
Also, for the record the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour. I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin. My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen.

I don’t think we should accept temporary hardship so that Elon can get a nice big tax cut

my mom (who's a university professor) did something interesting last year: she assigned her students to give chatgpt an essay question, have it write a paper, and then proofread/fact check it. nearly every single student in that class came out of that assignment anti-chatgpt.

Heroine
In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators. Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.” On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.” 12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

Because it’s done to women.
I will never understand how a c section is not treated in the same manner as any other major abdominal surgery. The expectation that women should be able to care for a newborn, get up and deal with it, with a bit of paracetamol onboard.

I want a “reverse Costco” where you can buy small amounts of items you will rarely use again, like specialty ingredients. Let me pay $1 for 1 oz of fish sauce. Yes, I can get much more for not that much more money but then I’ll feel guilty every time I see it in my fridge.

one thing that really stuck with me when learning about transportation policy is how transit increases nearby property values due to increased connectivity whereas highways actively reduce property values due to noise and pollution

This is always my favorite media scare tactic. “The strike is costing a lot of money!!” Yes. You’ve almost figured out the point.
Wow. Seems like Boeing should meet their workers’ demands.

I don’t want to listen to AI music. I don’t want to watch AI movies. I dont want to look at AI images. I don’t want any art that I consume to be soulless and without any inspiration from an actual experience.
