Gonna pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate James Dobson's death. That hateful fucker is responsible for so much of the awful shit happening now and for so much group and individual harm to lgbtq people, children, and women. Rest in piss, evil mother fucker.

Mormons lack empathy? What a shock! J/K. I occasionally check stats on membership because I enjoy seeing that church die, as believers learn the truth about its founder and the bullshit they've been fed over the years from their families & evil men who claim to be prophets.

Thinking about this in relationship to the childhood promise of flying cars from...Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I'm struck by how little of this monstrosity resembles that as well as Elon is one of the worst people ever to live, whereas its inventor is coded as the nicest guy ever. Such tech promise!

I've watched a couple 40+ year old films the past few days, and I've been struck by and found refreshing that they name fascists. There's none of this bullshit of pretending they're good people.

And with that we have our first dead AI startup

I hate this man with the power of 1000 suns.

They should try living within their means. Maybe cut back on ordering so many centrist consultants.

Maybe if they tried doing something for people instead of begging for money based on promises they never intervention to deliver on....

It's the least interesting and most obvious reason, and people like this should be embarrassed for saying shit like this. He's like the only dem being up front and honest that the other side is just a bunch of nazis while everyone else clutches pearls and vows to work with trump.

I'm so frustrated by the faction of the left that accepts politicians' self-labeling when that label is in direct opposition to their actions.

Oh, noz! What happens when you stop using an instance? Are you putting it in solitary confinement? Fuck all the tech bros and tech bro girls.

The Democrats are not the alternative to the fascism taking over the US. They are another wing of it. The best of them are cowards and collaborators. The worst are co-conspirators. They'll do anything - genocide in Gaza, genocide of Trans people at home - for power.

Because they are hollow people. People with no principles. People with no integrity. Grubby, cynical, petty opportunists. Dolls of straw and stuffing. And that's when they're not actually just as bigoted as any Republican, but wrapping it prettily in condescension and paternalism.

It's a glorified autocorrect. Really makes you wonder about the quality of these guys' relationships. Probably the best thing we could do for everyone--them included--is take all their money and make them live like normal people for the rest of their lives.

Seriously, please don't be too shy or polite to ask for ICE whistles if you need them, especially in SoCal. A bunch of us have stockpiles all ready to go in case of surges, if you have the ability to pass them out, we have the whistles!

Democratic candidate have just one value and stick to it challenge. Difficulty: impossible.

I saw the original Running Man for the first time about 6 months ago and thought, "You couldn't make that movie today. Wait... it was remade last year? By Edgar Wright? Sign me up." Then I watched it, and it turns out my original thought was correct. Wright's version is toothless.

it is interesting that I can't find any mainstream media coverage of Altman's sister Annie going viral on social media over the weekend for uploading footage of the first hour of her deposition in her lawsuit against him (one of two) in which she is alleging years of CSA

For the uninitiated, @sanders.senate.gov's AI bills are being written by a eugenicist cult full of predators organizing "rape orgies." Michael Vassar in that list is also the former president of MIRI, the organization closely advising Sanders.

Here I was naively thinking entire colleges were being run by ai, without considering the same of the federal government.

Seeing stuff like this in Canada and the UK, I'm honestly not sure how much better off we'd be with Kamala as president. She's be doing the same fascist shit as Trump, more efficiently, only most dems wouldn't be paying any attention.

End the death penalty. End it now. There is no reason for it, never.

The safety argument pisses me off the most as complete transparent bullshit. I went to a tiny school, with fewer than 100 graduates/yr. Even so, there were 2 cis girls in my class over 6'/200 lbs. They were'nt issues. Team captains, who were close to average height, though? Vicious "safety threats."

This great column breaks down why that Washington Post op ed wasn't human-written and, in so doing, illustrates where ai fails (unsurprisingly, it's the thinking bits).

I imagine there are entire colleges/universities where decisions are being made at the highest level by ai.

This phrase has helped me understand who nate silver is more than anything else ever will.

Love that a guy who is so detatched from reality that he only has to do a normal task every 2 years is deciding how the rest of us live.

So, like there are zero consequences for hacking now so long as ai is involved?

Turns out "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" is actually slightly less scary than "I'm a rich pervert who wants everyone to die".

Vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit warns that the four measles deaths reported in the US are probably a vast undercount. He notes that the CDC's website currently lists zero measles deaths for 2026.

You know what would also "solve tarriffs"? Holding trump accountable! That's the "work" I want congress to "get...to" and years ago.

Democrats are so confident they're going to win they are comfortable telling us to go fuck ourselves

Lol. No. We hated him before he started and knew he'd be awful. He was, somehow, even worse than I anticipated, though, if only because he ensured no consequences for trump/his toadies and enacted a genocidal covid policy prior to the Palestinian genocide. He fucking *loves* committing genocide.

Choose your loser.
