@Legal_Fil @Expat_Matt I find criticizing my own side for not meeting my own standard less interesting than praising an administration from the opposite party for something they did. So examples of praise for Obama or Biden would be better examples

@Legal_Fil @Expat_Matt Since when is being partisan mean agreeing 100% with whatever the party leadership says and never dissenting with a single decision or nominee? By this definition, only the most mindless flacks are partisan. Heck, AOC wouldn’t count as partisan by this definition

@Legal_Fil @Expat_Matt The arguments were that he was of low character, was irresponsible and had no experience running a complex organization (and when he ran a small organization he ran it into the ground) were not disqualifying? Cooke ignored strong arguments against and focused on weaker ones

@AeonCoin @mattyglesias @janecoaston I’m not ruling out sycophancy. But Super Intelligence as a term has existed in the industry for over a decade (what we have now does not qualify as that). Gut feeling was someone like Elon or Jensen whispered to him that we should start calling it that and he liked how it sounded

@Expat_Matt So much of the problems with media and the distrust of it is downstream of, “I know and like this person and they’re nice to me”. Both in holding each other to account and, especially, holding people in power to account

@mattyglesias @janecoaston This behavior makes me more convinced that the tech people wanted to rebrand AI because of the negative connotations and tried to launder it through Trump. Which is an idiotic move because the SI connotations are even more negative

@Srirachachau @zackruskin Beavis and Butthead is a lot bigger than Liquid Television. Which is also largely forgotten to the sands of time.

@jameskann @Patterico I have more respect than the Trump true believers than the anti-anti-Trumpers because, as Walter said, at least it’s an ethos

@SeanTrende @stevemorris__ 2010 Republicans won in IL, WI and PA. Those states were Obama by 24, 14 and 10. Ron Johnson was the first Republican Senator elected in Wisconsin since 1992 and only the second since 1962

@OGormain @janecoaston Washington was a great man and a great president. But not everything he did is beyond reproach. He also kept slaves, for example The barbaric practice of tarring and feathering was also popular during colonial times
