Detroit rap rock neatly broke along the prevailing political tendencies in the US
1. Kid Rock is the MAGA candidate. This makes sense: he was the scion the owner of many car dealerships and grew up in a house with an apple orchard and a horse stable but claims to be salt of the earth focused on kitchen table issues and also endless moneyed personal delight. Great article on the 2023 NADA convention, btw: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/05/rich-republicans...
2. Juggalos went lumpenprole left. Bad optics, problematic past statements, ultimately proudly unsophisticatedly populist
3. Eminem made "awfully hot coffee pot" and Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann went apeshit for it. MSNBC lib.
The thing about Eminem is that I would have just as easily lumped him in with South Park Man-bear-pig style "actually it's square to care about politics" but "awfully hot coffee pot" having already made "Mosh" put it over the edge.
Now I'm thinking Juggalo makeup would have kept a lot of Jan 6 rioters out of the pokey. And it would have really spiced up that riot, if I'm being honest.

As someone who writes academic essays and prose, I can't live without this plugin. I will constantly need to write multiple page paragraphs, and it's incredibility more convient to be able to navigate within a paragraph as if it was multiple lines, as opposed to needing to perform some horizontal motion gymnastics to get the cursor where I need it to be.
Hat's off to everyone who has worked on this plugin!
Ahh I thought I was the only one! One line per sentence makes the diffs so much nicer too, maybe we need git hooks to reject multiple sentences per line?
You can just do `git diff --word-diff` and then the diffs look great even with one paragraph per line.
I used to do one sentence per line, but after getting used to how Emacs handles soft-wrapping, I now do one paragraph per line—also when I use Vim. This also makes collaboration with other authors easier, since most non-vim collaborators do that.
Also IMO, sentences are a more useful logical grouping. I might want to swap sentence orders, so having the quick dd then p command is nice. Paragraphs get moved occasionally but it is rare enough that I don’t mind grabbing them as if they are a collection of sentences.
No matter how I tried, Google AI did not want to help me write appeal brief response to ex-wife lunatic 7-point argument that 3 appellant lawyers quoted between $18,000 and $35,000. The last 3 decades of Google's scars and bruises of never-ending lawsuits and consequences of paying out billions in fines and fees, felt like reasonable hesitation on Google part, comparing to new-kid-on-the-block ChatGPT who did not hesitate and did pretty decent job (ex lost her appeal).
AI not writing legal briefs for you is a feature, not a bug. There's been so many disaster instances of lawyers using ChatGPT to write briefs which it then hallucinates case law or precedent for that I can only imagine Google wants to sidestep that entirely.
Anyway I found your response itself a bit incomprehensible so I asked Gemini to rewrite it:
"Google AI refused to help write an appeal brief response to my ex-wife's 7-point argument, likely due to its legal-risk aversion (billions in past fines). Newcomer ChatGPT provided a decent response instead, which led to the ex losing her appeal (saving $18k–$35k in lawyer fees)."
I haven't mentioned anything about hallucinations. ChatGPT was solid on writing underlying logic, but to find caselaw I used Vincent AI (offers 2 weeks free, then $350 per month - still cheaper than cheapest appellant lawyer and I was managed to fit my response in 10 days).
That's fine, so Google sidestep it and ChatGPT did not. What point are you trying to make?
Sure I skip AI entirely, when can we meet so you hand me $35,000 check for attorney fees.
Being a layer or a doctor means being a human being. ChatGPT is neither. Also unsure how you would envision penalties - do you think Altman should be jailed because GPT gave me a link to Nexus ?
I did not find any rules or procedures with 4 DCA forbidding usage of AI.
I would use it exclusively if Google released a native Mac app.
I spend 75% of my time in Codex CLI and 25% in the Mac ChatGPT app. The latter is important enough for me to not ditch GPT and I'm honestly very pleased with Codex.
My API usage for software I build is about 90% Gemini though. Again their API is lacking compared to OpenAI's (productization, etc.) but the model wins hands down.
For some reason, Gemini 2.5 Pro seems to struggle a little with the French language. For example, it always uses title case even when it's wrong; yet ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok never make this mistake.
Not GP, but I imagine because going back and fourth to compare them is a waste of time if Gemini works well enough and ChatGPT keeps going through an identity crisis.
I was you except when I seriously tried gpt-5-high it turned out it is really, really damn good, if slow, sometimes unbearably so. It's a different model of work; gemini 2.5 needs more interactivity, whereas you can leave gpt-5 alone for a long time without even queueing a 'continue'.
