Every Airbnb instruction list is like, "Hey, you dumb fuck. You wanted to stay in my shitty investment property? Asshole. Fine, I'll fucking let you, dipshit. The water heater is broken, by the way. Fix it or I'll charge you $200. And no laughing past 7 pm! We record everything."

This is just boys describing the rules of a board game they like, not the actual world we live in.

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

When I see stuff like this I just remember that there are hundreds of games made before the slop era and GPU crisis that I have never played. If the spigot shut off today I'd still be busy for the rest of my life, before these demons ruined the industry

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

Parents cannot accept the damage that being a piece of shit as a personality has done to their relationships. They cheerlead for fascists and crooks on social media then face their families in real life with doe-eyed indignation until the breaking point.

Took LA Metro and CC Bus to see The Odyssey in 70mm downtown LA today. Athena's favor got me there in under an hour both ways. Great movie. Be sure to stay for the Aeneid post-credits teaser. ⛵

At a child's birthday party yesterday and caught some fun boomer one-offs. "How did they let them DO that?!" (Build housing in Calabasas) "Socialists! Communists!" About some organizations "Not ultra-woke!" "The guy has a podcast on Spotify and he knows things about Israel no one else does."

Yeah, but can the Chinese use slurs at work now?

Protector 5763@protector5763.bsky.social

China has developed a battery that is based on sea salt. Not lithium. It is now being used in Chinese vehicles. It’s more efficient, can hold 90% of its charge at -40c, provides a range of 500 kms, cheap to manufacture, and better for the environment. The US is being left in the dust.

Greetings from Hoboken, New Jersey! This city hasn’t reported a single traffic fatality since January 2017!! That’s why I’m here to see what Vision Zero designs they’ve implemented! 😯 Some examples include: curb extensions, intersection daylighting, bioswales! 👏🏽🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️🏙️🌱

I forget who said it but I always think about a joke that says white people will say they have no childhood trauma then show up four hours early to the airport

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social

people who say this act like if they weren't at the airport they'd be at home curing cancer. what exactly are your big plans for your extra 45 minutes at home you fuckin loser

not only are they not good people, this performative courting of nonexistent integrity is a bizarre waste of everybody's time

Booker: "There are really good people in the Senate on both sides of the aisle, and I have these private conversations with my colleagues about what's wrong. But they're afraid or unwilling to say these things publicly. And that is the crisis that we're in. It's a crisis of conviction."

the same way eliminating car dealers, realtors and other parasitic right-wing industries needs to be a goal of the left for its own survival, eliminating chriorpactors, the supplements industry and other quack medicine needs to be on the agenda too

No exaggeration, I think this is one of the most important stories in US health care. MAHA makes a lot more sense if you see it as a hostile takeover by the quackery industry
