"I worked in a coal processing plant for 40 years. I've seen many lumps of coal."

Then you've probably seen ones like this:

"You just end up with black powder all over your house."

You must have gotten a really crappy lump of coal. I've seen ones that were solid and even shiny.

When I was a kid, they told me if I misbehaved that I'd get a lump of coal for Christmas. I always that would have been really cool, so I misbehaved even more. Unfortunately, they were bluffing.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a member of the court's conservative wing, wrote a concurrence explaining that he thought the proposal may be within the authority of the USPS, but that "state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule before the elections."

"So, Silicon Valley has suddenly developed a conscience. "

Nah, they just want regulations to hamper the upstarts and smaller competition.

In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, the earlier comment was directed at . . . everyone.

"I wouldn't worry so much about the Chinese. They train their models on US models, and it's no surprise they're "approaching" US frontier model performance on the cheap. As usual, they're ripping us off."

That's a gross oversimplification. The Chinese use distillation techniques to train AI models, just like everyone else, but they also build their own from scratch from what they learned.

"If you're worried about large language models destroying humanity, do yourself a thought experiment about the power of language vs. the limitations of language.
For example, a LLM can't be inspired to quantify gravity because an apple fell on its head."

Existential risks do not require the system to invent new physics. A digital system can cause severe harm through bad automation, rapid software deployment, or manipulating human behavior using text alone.

Also, the story about an apple falling on Newton's head was a myth. He noticed a pattern. AI models are trained to search for patterns and quantify and categorize things every single day.

It looks like your mom.

"HIPPA" [sic] has always been widely misunderstood.

Of all the things that are actually outrageous, people choose to waste their energy on this.

Thanks useless idiots.

Can someone tell me exactly how many lies Trump has told so far? I'm pretty sure someone was keeping track of that. We need to know the exact number, because I'm sure that will more of an impact and convince anyone who isn't already aware he lies to get attention and media coverage.

"Saying Danni deserved to have a stroke."

He never said that. You're just making stuff up now to justify fake outrage.

"You have no problem taking the money back from bank robbers.
They're rich until you do that."

I wouldn't call those people rich. They constantly have to watch their backs.

Graft and corruption are a problem at all levels of society, not just with the financially "rich". I'm sure it would feel good to see many of those who engaged in that have all of their assets seized and push them down to the bottom of society. But then what happens? Again, look back at history for cautionary tales, from how quickly the guillotines were turned on average citizens after the French Revolution, to how socialist revolutions gave birth to even more oppressive dystopian societies than the ones they overthrew.

"Sad, sad, little Troll.
Sad, sad, little Troll.

You sound really worried that someone might steal your title

"everyone is going to pretend they didn't fall for yet another headline written by -----------------."

FWIW, the headline is the same one that was used on The Drudge Report. The article used the word "rubble" twice, but not as part of the direct quote.

Speaking of forcibly taking money from "the rich", look up the land revolution in Chinese communist history.

Hope you get your identity back, LampLighter.

" Milo lied."

You're probably right. The claim about repeatedly doing 2-year green cards doesn't add up. A conditional residency lasts for 2 years, then you apply to make it permanent and it becomes valid for 10 years if you're in good standing. Unless he had other issues he doesn't want to talk about.

Still, I wouldn't automatically trust anything the gov claims either, since they've been proven to lie about deportation-related events.

FWIW, Milo claimed in the Piers Morgan interview he's had a valid green card since he married a US Citizen in 2017, that he's always kept up with the paperwork, and that the government canceled it in the past year out of retribution for his recent criticisms and associations with other critics.

"That poor snowflake ...
Not exactly like others experiencing deportation to Africa and other places where deportees can't even speak the language."

I can tell you've never been to the UK.

LOL... this is the same guy whining about taking down statues... because of their "historical significance."

Wait, so are you mocking those who care about the historical significance of the things Trump and his ilk have been tearing down, and comparing them to those who opposed the Confederate and other historical monuments being torn down? You can't have it both ways.

"California needs ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally," he [Yiannopoulos] wrote in a social media post in June 2025.

He reminds me of a guy who appeared on MTV many years ago bragging about how he was an illegal immigrant. Both of them were being provocateurs, just from different angles.
