As usual, the NYPD opposes any impediment to police shooting.

That’s where the k-cup goes

The thing about RFK Jr is that he’s not just a eugenicist who peddles extreme and dangerous anti-science, anti-vaccine conspiracy theories that cause suffering, pain, and death, but he’s also a vile racist piece of s**t

*Taps the sign*

ERICA CHOINKA GOP BOOKTOK NOGO, HOO HOO HOO

Dudes skin is so thin it’s actually hazardous for him to be out there without his shirt on

The wildest part about Pat McAfee's weird comment about the University of Utah is the video that provoked it... *this* is the video that broke him:

Gibbs with the nanny nanny booboo dance really makes it

All of those warning posts of how the market is essentially in recession without AI are maybe gonna matter a LOT

Funny to see what industries are like yeah an LLM can do my job. Every creative field is like “fuck you this sucks” and Lawyers are like “yeah for the boring shit but don’t tell anyone” and half of coders are like “I’m shit, I’m a worm, please fucking kill me” and the other half are really annoyed.

Can't sleep, clown will eat me

gotta say hats off to all the writers pretending to do profiles of Silicon Valley CEOs just so they can add that one same paragraph, every single time, that demonstrates they're all insane freaks who do not know or like their own kids.

GOLDMAN: “.. we are starting to see clearer signs that the AI impact is spreading beyond the technology sector. .. the share of US firms that have adopted AI in regular business functions now shows a statistically significant negative correlation with employment growth ..”

The best part about AI personal pieces are that they show us some of the most emotionally detached humans in existence blissfully unaware of how gross their behavior is.

Austin has an in-N-Out now if she wants her only shot at a double double ever

lmao even DataRepublican is like “uh folks we need history e-day turnout or we are capital-F Fucked”

I’m Moby Dick for Halloween

When the US Patent Office informs you that someone already invented truck nuts.

Reagan talked about welfare queens in Cadillacs, Trump talks about Somalian thieves in Mercedes Benzes, because being *real* racist has been a core strategy Republican politicians for a very long time, even if prior to Trump a lot of folks who should have known better enjoyed pretending otherwise.

Always a good time to remind people that Yglesias hammered Van Hollen for his work helping Kilmar Abrego Garcia as it was calling attention to an issue Trump was popular on. Which Matt deleted once it became clear that Trump began sliding HARD on immigration at that time.

me reading the news:

sigmund? sigmund it's your cousin marvin... marvin freud... you know the thing you've been talking about where there's some libidinal force inside us that seeks egoic shattering even unto death... well you're not gonna believe this but I'm looking at the news and im thinking, call it the death drive

Ukraine's victory at Hostomel airport, the resistance of the people of Bucha who paid for it under Russian occupation, Zelenskyy's courage to figt ... Russians made mistakes. Their biggest was assuming Ukrainians lacked agency and the will to fight.

i think dems too often take the black vote for granted and i would love if they had a serious challenge from the gop for that vote so dems would have to perform. but republicans are so cartoonishly racist that if youre a remotely politically involved black person, theyre simply not a real option.

Maybe an unpopular take on here, but, with the glaring exception of Maine, Chuck Schumer didn't do too terribly in recruiting Democratic Senate candidates. -Cooper's set to win big in #NCSen -Brown is in the lead in #OHSen -Peltola is leading in #AKSen -Turek is competing in #IASen

The Columbus Dispatch this morning

In September, the AI company Anthropic claimed its models were approaching “superhuman capabilities for geolocating outdoor photos”. Bellingcat put that claim to the test by benchmarking the performance of Anthropic and other LLMs. Here’s what we found: www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

"You'll die and all will end well. You'll die and know all, or cease asking." WOW, Tolstoy, dropping that gem in on page 448 is masterful and heart stopping. Damn.

you can go into the box seats *and* make a scene, just ask john wilkes booth

I love that nearly all of the replies going apeshit about a smart enforcement program are complaining that it means more people will rear end other cars - aka too many people suck at driving safely.

another thing the Right About Everything caucus was right about from the absolute jump: the Harpers letter was never anything more than a bunch of butter-soft bigots whining about the complication of sharing social and professional spaces with people who feel safe objecting to their bigotry

Remember, These three men, Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner, all died for your right to vote:

They no longer care about the bipartisan consensus which if they thought about it for five fucking seconds, they’d realize that is what they flourished under

they're incentivized to doom because saying specific things about what they think will go wrong, what could potentially prevent the worse case lib van winkle outcomes, etc, all specificity is falsifiable and thus they'd be investing their credibility in what they say rather than how they say it

He’s working his way to the poles

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.
