The United States has officially put the world on notice that foreign visitors cannot expect due process of any kind. The administration has made clear in recent days that random mistakes, opinions about your politics, or any whim may cause you to be indefinitely detained without representation, labeled a terrorist, physically abused, or deported to a for-profit prison in the third world. This is not an exaggeration and represents only what we know so far.

US tourism is over.

Some forms of eternalism give time a similar ontology to that of space, as a dimension, with different times being as real as different places, and future events are "already there" in the same sense other places are already there, and that there is no objective flow of time.

It is sometimes referred to as the "block time" or "block universe" theory.

New post: "Just slap an LLM on the front end—how hard can it be?" https://coyotetracks.org/blog/slap-an-llm-on/

LLMs are hit-and-miss for generative output, but what about as front ends to other systems? Would that be more reliable and simpler? Apple’s “Personalized Siri” travails suggest no on both counts.

Also if you ARE going to be this dad, at least watch the film again before you show it to your kids, otherwise they're going to wonder why you found racism and sexual assault so funny back in the day, i.e., the "Sixteen Candles Conundrum"

Futzing around with LazyVim, a Neovim “distribution,” and a little shocked at how good it is even in a terminal. This bears more exploration.

Wait till they dust off the Comstock Act of 1873! A thing they absolutely have talked about and will be doing. Would have been good for any party to have repealed it in the last 152 years!

I mean we've only had since 1798 to repeal The Alien Enemies Act. The party that passed it went defunct 197 years ago, maybe Hamilton lost the magic password

I really don't know how to keep saying this so cis people understand.

The Nazis in 1933 came for trans people. They burned our libraries to the ground. They raided and bombed our hospitals. They declared our existence illegal. And then they put us in concentration camps and gassed us.

The Nazis in 2025 came for trans people. They're burning our books. They're raiding and bombing our hospitals. They're declaring our existence illegal. And they're building concentration camps.

There's no fucking nuance here. There's no metaphor to be found. There's no allegory. There's no need to draw "similarities" between the Nazis then and the Nazis now, because it's the same people doing the same shit for the same reasons. It's not "similar". It's the same fucking thing.

And if you can't see that, if you've had blinders on for the last 92+ years, I just don't know how to fucking help you with that. If you think the Nazi attacks on trans people are somehow "recent", blame a Nazi, because Nazis are the reason you think that.
