Well it doesn't say two equal pieces. Technically if I pick up a rock, I've split the world into two pieces: 'this rock' and 'not this rock' although I'm not sure I would consider it "clefting the world asunder" unless they was feeling very dramatic.

Tbf, that's exactly the sort of thing you would say before, during, and after a state sanctioned assassination.

3 SCOTUS picks in 4 years and a lot of the shit happening now is the direct result of that.

Imagine what a 7-2 (or 8-1) Conservative Supreme Court would do...

If I wasn't an atheist I would fully believe he is the actual anti-christ.

The riot occurred at a clothing manufacturing and seafood processing factory

That....is an interesting combination

They're not even subtle about it. The system directly rewards you for being in enough debt to always be paying someone interest but not enough that you might file for bankruptcy.

Has she considered, as a sovereign citizen, privately negotiating travel rights with individual nations?

Sanders notably attributed the war in Gaza to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “the right-wing Netanyahu government” — not to Israel in general.

This extremely obvious distinction seems to get completely lost in every discussion on the topic. I like Israel and they have the right to exist. I don't like far right conservative governments run by corrupt war criminals (but enough about Bush...).

For reference, the seven tenants listed next to the destroyed display:

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

It makes a lot of sense to me why Christians would be against this.

So a Board member wrote a paper about focusing on safety above profit in AI development. Sam Altman did not take kindly to this concept and started pushing to fire her (to which end he may or may not have lied to other Board members to split them up). Sam gets fired for trying to fire someone for putting safety over profit. Everything exploded and now profit is firmly at the head of the table.

I like nothing about this version of events either.

Just a reminder that the dot com bubble was a problem for investors, not the underlying technology that continued to change the entire world.
