The US is doomed unless people can get rid of its three biggest calamities: States, guns, and billionaires.
So the US is doomed.

Stealing Luke's private key was the first task that the soul of Pope Benedict set to do after taking up his post in the hierarchy of Hell. As a personal revenge for Luke's strident denial of his legitimacy.
Testing my new LLM, "#CrokAI":
Q. Explain why the 9th full test of the Starship was a resounding success.
A. Before we can get to Mars, we must perfect the needed technology by colonizing a target that is closer to us. While some think that the Moon could serve this purpose, the Earth is a much more convenient (if challenging) target. In test #9, Starshit, sorry, Starship managed to travel all the way to Earth and enter Earth's atmosphere. So this was a major milestone in the Road to Mars!

And then all executive orders, nominations, promotions, treaties, pardons etc issued in those (non-)administrations, all laws passed by GOP, and all sentences passed by un-nominated judges since 2016 would be retroactively declared null and void.
But how can you change the system before removing those obstacles?
If it was not for the Electoral College, Trump would have lost the 2016 election.
The States go together with Disctrict-based voting, a system that could let a party with only (say) 30% of the electorate secure 90% of the seats in Congress. And can make a minority of 30% end up with 0% representation. And practially prevents the existence of more than two parties.

🧵> I have been waiting for two days, and asked several times whether it was ready, but always got the same response.
I suspect that the name "Elon Musk" triggered some taboo filter, and his "too busy" is just an excuse.
Perhaps someone can try with some other AI image generator? Humanity as a whole would much appreciate it.

Elon Musk just invested $1.5 billion and 50'000 bitcoins in XboxXXX, a startup that will build a Gigabasement in El Pirado, TX where a million Optimus robots will play Path of Exile 2 24/7 using Microsoft Xboxes, all under the "@elonmusk" username.

🧵> At right, the head of Donald Trump in profile, facing left, grimacing, with bared fangs, drooling. At bottom left, three short lines: first line "Elon" in medium-size font, second line "Kill Bill" with quotes in smaller font, and third line "Musk" again in medium-size font. At bottom right, also a text in three lines: first line "Donald" in medium size font, second line "Home Alone" with quotes in smaller font, and third line "Trump" again in medium-size font. All on a dark blue bground." 🧵>

🧵> ChatGPT refused to put actual photos of Elon and Donald, for "policy reason". But he himself suggested to use instead a caricature of a "tech mogul — exaggerated features (e.g., sharp cheekbones, electric sparks, space helmet)", and a caricature of "real estate tycoon — big hair, red tie wrapped around the neck like a weapon.".
I said fine, but then he told me that he was too busy and it would take a while, and he would let me know when it was ready. 🧵>

Crime does not exist on its own. Criminals do. You can't fight crime while letting all criminals go unpunished.
