RIP to this man. This is a really powerful 62 seconds of video.

Obligatory

He's like a cat playing with a mouse here. A mouse that has Turning Point USA Face

Going out classy

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

The loss of living memory of the Second World War is absolutely catastrophic

republicans: we are nazis media: do democrats have a Hasan Piker Bin Laden problem?

um … ah … hmmm … 🎶 You don’t know me but I’m your father

The “super intelligence” thing is useful in the sense that if someone calls AI that you know you are dealing with a TURBO bozo

UPDATE: Florida killed Curtis Beasley this evening. Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty noted this is the DeSantis administration's "44th execution." Beasley is "the 13th veteran, the 14th senior citizen, and the 27th person ... to die despite a non-unanimous jury vote for death."

So you're saying a republican senator is a stupid dipshit and does sloppy work and can't handle being confronted for being wrong? That doesn't sound like them.

"how am i going to explain gay people to my kids" my man I was on a hike with my family and my wife mentioned "grizzly man," I had to explain grizzly man to my kids. you need to get onto my fucking level. we must have talked about grizzly man for forty five minutes and i felt every one

Meta announced that its new AI agent, Muse could call businesses for you to do things like make reservations. But in reality, Meta is testing having these calls being made by human beings in call centers, 404 Media @jasonkoebler.bsky.social learned. www.404media.co/meta-tests-m...

it's weird that ai got too dangerous to keep advancing right around the time money got more expensive to borrow

there are 70 million people for whom this is the biggest song in the world. they watch comedies called like "Wives of Jim" that have run for nine seasons. they're usually pretty affable in person. in 2024 they severed the fate of humanity because of egg prices

Who knows what these filthy Québécois are bringing into our country?!?! @theonion.com @hogwater.bsky.social @anginedepoitrine.bsky.social

I sorta soft-launched it, but I'm not going by Alex no more. I am Katie now.

Same people who seem to think it’s bad for China to beat us at AI are perfectly fine with China beating us at high speed rail, solar energy, wind energy, shall we go on

dudes rock

This is particularly crazy when you see how many NFL venues are scheduled to host Kanye West, a guy who literally released a song about Hitler. Including two of the stadiums who threatened Sheeran! But he didn’t say anything good about Palestinians so it’s fine.

I’m not the first person to make this observation but the prevalence of nauseating ai-generated business logos means stuff like this hits CRAZY for me now

Nancy 9/7/26 … Happy Labor Day 🛠️

This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:

I guess it’s important to communicate that MAHA is fundamentally an movement by individuals to capture health care dollars by lying to people about having products and services that work

A pedophile worked for the campaign of Ohio GOP Senator Jon Husted. Husted fired him. The pedophile donated money to GOP gov. nominee Vivek Ramaswamy. Ohio's Democratic nominee Amy Acton called out Vivek for accepting the money. Today the brother of the pedophile tried to assassinate Acton.

boosters want us to believe opponents of data centers are a bunch of nimbys that just indiscriminately oppose development. they don’t want people to see (or hear!) what it’s actually like to live next to one of their monstrosities.

Dolly Parton dying hits so hard. She felt like one of those figures who always was and always will be. She felt like America when it was trying to be the place it promised to be. As beloved as her music is, it’s even better than people give it credit for. There won’t be another one like her.

STOP GROWING FUCKING LETTUCE IN THE DESERT THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY EASY PROBLEM TO SOLVE

Incredibly glad someone is talking about for-profit prisons. When I had a friend inside, he got too little food, forcing him to supplement from a commissary with money put into his account from folks outside. The prices were astronomical, bleeding funds from inmates' communities. It was appalling.

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

once again this is useful for demonstrating that the media that spent 25 years using "gotta support the troops we love the troops do you support our brave troops" as a cudgel against anyone opposed to war were full of shit this entire time. they never even cared a little tiny bit about the troops

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:

Did this Ai train on a student newspaper from a failing middle school?

the Field of Dreams game has reminded me to once again watch John Mulaney presenting the Academy Award for sound
