“Do that with Acrobat”

I can’t even view a PDF, Adobe. WTF have you done? Morons.

I do find some use for LLMs when I need to make a genuine natural language query:

Is there a name/theory describing a shift in the political spectrum (left or right) that results in what were once moderate left/right views becoming considered “extreme”?

Turns out there is a thing called the Overton Window 🤷‍♀️

Though, not sure I agree with Lehman right now:

The most common misconception is that lawmakers themselves are in the business of shifting the Overton window. That is absolutely false. Lawmakers are actually in the business of detecting where the window is, and then moving to be in accordance with it.

I see reposts are a thing on Instagram now. Yet more content I can’t choose not to see.

I was in Barcelona recently and saw an apparently unofficial femicide memorial, just there, by the side of the street. We need more of this. Especially in the UK. Our politicians have got everyone frothed up about migrants they’ll likely never see or meet, and the biggest crime is literally right nextdoor.

If I hadn’t let the RAF recruiter convince me to apply on an officer track JUST because I was a graduate, I reckon I’d have seen at least four “hot” combat deployments and three or four “very warm” airlifts, by now. Well, assuming I survived being deployed to Afghanistan on probably my first ever tour. Weird thinking about it.

Makes perfect sense to me. A country populated with people that believe that “more guns” makes people safer WOULD be in favour of starting a war in the name of peace.

I don’t really get how people continue to be surprised by this pervasive dislogic.
