The Republican Party didn’t create their media ecosystem; right wing activists did. Remember that when you use your left wing podcast to shit all over Democrats.

people say “it’s just a tool” but nobody got “re-interviewed” about how they use git

Go to a factory pub and talk about how much you made from shutting the local factory down, you're going to get punched in the teeth. The witnesses will all think you deserved it Brag about "AI" near people who know illustrators, translators or copywriters and you'll get the social media equivalent

what gets me is that every time the assholes lose, their lives aren’t actually worse off in any meaningful way. they get to be grumpy about stuff that doesn’t concern them, but they don’t lose any rights and they still own everything. but when they win, everyone who’s not them suffers.

it would be cool if this outcome got the same amount of coverage as the anti-trans ads that caused it. would be cool if the people impacted by political rhetoric were treated with as much care and attention as those pushing it receive

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

Saw this icon and my first thought was, “oh no, did Tumblr go out of business?”

“If you don’t join the stampede, you’ll be left in the dust.” — everyone who isn’t thinking ahead to when the dust settles

my take is that LLMs are useful for software development but only in the same way that cigarettes are an effective treatment for ADHD

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Thank you to the people who were explaining to me that he meant to say something else

We’ve got to stop repeating “humanity will lose control of AI” when “OpenAI will do something negligent with this technology” is much clearer.

Trump has forced the USA, and the World at large, to confront the evil that lurks in the human soul, and while MAGA wallows in it gleefully, normal, decent people are appalled and repulsed.

Got political mail? Go to paidforby.info For federal races, you'll immediately get detailed information about who is behind the mail and their donors. And all uploaded mail will be reviewed by an independent journalist. (It also works for ads on TV and YouTube.)

i especially love all the dopes saying “when the internet first went mainstream everyone hated it too” like it happened in the pioneer days so no one can dispute it, like mf’ers we were THERE

current state of the fix social media playbook: *nationalize facebook and hold it to rigorous privacy and content moderation standards *break up google and make youtube robustly fund a streaming PBS *turn off x the everything app *keep linkedin the same. that'd be a good bit *begin The Tribunals

This joke is so old, I refuse to believe these Democrats haven’t heard it. But I don’t think I’ve ever heard a single one offer a response? Has no interviewer ever asked, can you see yourself in Charlie Brown?

Trump Behind Bars is Good Foreign Policy

Trump Before a Jury is Good Foreign Policy

Trump on Trial is Good Foreign Policy

this is super true and also increasingly terrible

In the 1850s, “The Slave Power” was a popular term for the amorphous, wealthy, anti-democratic force that was consuming the country. Once you realize that AI is just a way to bring it back, the similarities are everywhere.

"Weird" was OK, but I really wish someone would call Republican voters what they are: Suckers. These are dumb rubes who fall for the wallet inspector routine over and over again. They spend their last pennies on magic beans because are in the constant thrall of some grifter. Be meaner to them.

The most important thing about navigating ADHD as an adult is learning to design your environment and schedule for the person you are, not the person neurotypical people think you could be if you tried harder.

as ridiculous as “learn to code” was, at least it was reasonably clear that the Internet was creating jobs alongside the ones it obsoleted.

gee, I wonder if Trump and Elon firing everyone at the National Weather Service is related to this rain that was not in the weather forecast

Are there still laws in place that require food advertising images to be photos of actual food? Will that be the only remaining paying work for photographers after AI takes over?

14 million souls ended in a single year by Elon Musk's cruelty and stupidity Here are some of the comparisons: Rwandan genocide: 800k dead Cambodian genocide: 3 million dead The Holocaust: 7 million dead

I see a lot of you talking about "dopamine" and I wish you'd go back to talking about your astrological signs because at least then you wouldn't be confusing yourself about a real thing

What support has she provided

It's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

a lot of people surprised to discover that a man with a lot of charisma, with a sketchy background, who is quick to explain how he’s changed and he’s a better person now, could be a rapist

Maybe we should remember Lindsey Graham the way Fox News is remembering him this morning. For his rabid defense of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. Never forget: Graham’s speech helped push Kavanaugh across the finish line and onto the Supreme Court.

It would be amazing for Putin to dispel rumors that he poisoned Graham by producing evidence it was actually a cyclospora infection indirectly caused by Elon Musk and RFK Jr’s gutting of the FDA.

PSA: Sean O’Brien is the evil Teamsters President who supported Trump. Shawn Fain is the UAW president planning the massive 2028 strike.

Is Mitch McConnell the first Senate Majority Leader to fake his own death so he can stalk and kill his rivals with infected salad? This historian argues yes

Another reason why California is a great place to live.
