Overheard: If the democrats met a genie and got three wishes they would negotiate down to one wish and then wish for something they thought republicans would like.

I mean... there's always room for more predators in Republican leadership, I guess? These people are so fucking sick.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican Party

The O really understands this brand to its core, fundamental values.

“Every guy knows what it’s like to walk around with a load in his slacks, but you don’t have to anymore with these stylish pants you can just tear off and drop in the toilet.” — Sean Riley, CEO

So, after Pete lets LLMs decide whom to kill, Rob lets LLMs decide which drugs work best! Another glorious Trump decision that will not end well. When the weirdos at Anthropic said there's 10% chance humanity would be ended by AI within a decade? This is how it happens. By our own hands.

#Breaking: HHS announced a set of new initiatives aimed at speeding up clinical trials by incorporating more artificial intelligence and computational models and moving away from sharply delineated trial phases. https://bit.ly/4hzhj7X

I'm surprised the 17 isn't 33. Because we know that's the big orange line in the sand. I think polling places should make them leave and if they don't, then require the voting machines be removed from the premises. It's harder in places where you vote in schools, but in GA, its usually churches.

🚨 FACT: Deploying ICE agents to the polls is illegal. And a new survey says it’s deeply unpopular among voters. However, there’s a significant partisan divide. More participating Republicans than Democrats support ICE and National Guardsmen at polling places this fall: https://demdock.com/4hAX89A

There should be no voting under duress. There is no reason for ICE agents to be at polls. NONE. NONE. Even if "an illegal" (I hate this fucking timeline, people are not illegal) goes in to vote, how will ICE know that? What can they actually do at a polling place that accomplishes any goal but...

the obvious one of racism, racial profiling, racial intimidation, voter intimidation, and making sure white people feel like they did in 1840. Fuck. That. Shit.

OK, so... first, it's AI driven targeting "autowarcom" ... Then, it's "Project (motherfucking) Meridian" headed by 3 of the nations brightest minds ------- palmer luckey, elon musk and goddamn newt jumping Jesus on a pogostick gingrich? Are. You. SERIOUS!?

My neighbor has signs for both Jon and Keisha in her yard. She votes, woo lawd does she VOTE. She's also delightful and also getting old, and her niece will be eventually pick up her sword. She's also delightful and she votes, too. Just a little something to factor in when gaming all this out.

Someone finally wrote a bad review of my book! Its argument: The tech bros are not fascists and we need not worry about them. Its author: a fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI). FAI's ideological godfather and treasured idol: Peter Thiel. 🫠

I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on

It's not a moral panic. People ARE suffering harm (see Memphis, So. Georgia). So it's not misinformation nor misunderstanding. It's a broad response to the one-way push of AI technology into and onto society by highly monied people without a demonstrated purpose or value to those impacted.

These datacenter pushbacks are one of the few ways ordinary people feel they can be heard by the forces that simultaneously tell them "this is the way of the future," "it's a good thing," and "nobody will have jobs." "it can do anything! It can show you naked."

Replying to @economist.com

Ugly? Bold? We fucking kidnapped the leader of the country and his wife in the darkness, brought them back to our soil and jailed them, then permitted the VP to stay and puppet for our capitalists. Now we are stealing the country's oil for ourselves and calling it a "deal." More like crooks.

Maybe we are thinking the wrong way with this Supreme Court stuff. Instead of making it bigger, maybe the answer is to make it smaller. Like, 0. Just abolish it. When there's contradictory judgments, impanel a Supreme Jury and let the district court jusdges duke it out.

Trump no longer cares. Like at all. Not even a little bit. He is completely safe. Congress will not do anything. The Court has ensured when he leaves office, no time. He's wholly focused on legacy and grift, in that order. We can't worry about cherry trees anymore. We need to plan the wake.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Trump cut down cherry trees for which Washington DC is famous for one of his tacky golf courses. He’s planning to sell some of Yosemite Park to a private developer. He’s destroyed the East Wing. He’s threatened to demolish the Kennedy Center. That vulgar slob has no respect for beauty.

This is the best description of this fool I have read in a long time.

I can't imagine the agony of having to sit across from this human coffee grinder and pretend he's sane.

Hey, @mark-carney.bsky.social As someone who grew up in the Baptist-laden American South, I know a thing or two about being petty. I propose Canada name a very small river or town or perhaps simply an organic mushroom farm "Trumpsacunty". Trumpsacunty Creek, or perhaps Trumpsacunty, Nova Scotia?

Or perhaps a more commemorative piece honoring the fine tradition of nice Canadians burning down a domed domed building and its attached ballroom ... Whatever you decide to do, I'd bet Trumpsacunty would become the hottest tourist destination for all world travelers. It will be BIG. BIG!

Much <3 and support from your friends and neighbors to the south who appreciate your recognition that none of his nonsense is sane, normal or ok.

Make it a cool tourist site. You could put up a giant bronze mouth that looks like wrinkled butthole. Or perhaps just a giant orange on top of a green pool of water with blue chunks floating in it. Or perhaps just a taco on a calendar surrounded by 10 people covered in lettuce spraying into toilets.
