AKUMA: Where is my true enemy?! ME (calling down from stands): His name is Donald Trump, he's the president of the United States, and he said you're a pussy #streetfighter

i mean why wouldn't i want to spend two minutes watching a video of someone saying words that would take me ten seconds to read

up is the direction in which you should shut the fuck

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

there's an off-the-books slack channel started by centers for medicare and medicaid for tech companies to exchange ideas on making money off of AI tools that access all of your medical records. insane story i missed from last week.

we need other forms of sinful wandering, like wanderpride, wanderwrath, or wandergluttony

well that's a first, someone blocked me for agreeing with them

no in England they call it "meths"

Something I'm concerned about that I haven't really seen anyone addressing is how "AI safety" regs could end up being super authoritarian. Like, if you truly believe that AI could kill all humans, it seems totally reasonable to install a government backdoor in every smartphone and computer.

a fundamental problem is that it's legal for companies to sell my personal info to other companies, but it's not legal to beat the shit out of their CEOs for doing this one of these two needs to change, and the companies can choose which

What the fuck is up my bro @profanity.accountant

Robert's Rules of Hors d'Oeuvres

AMD announcing they've made their AI chips more efficient is like White Star Line announcing they've installed bigger engines on the Titanic

"AI is here to stay" no it isnt lets kill it with hammers

just thinking about Tone Loc (full name: Baritone Locomotive)

the Traveling Salesman problem, but the salesman is Willy Loman

I choose not to get ripped because I'm hoping people mistake my dad bod for joie de vivre

PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.

Private prisons create a profit motive to increase the number of prisoners in society. That, all by itself, means that private prisons cannot be allowed to exist.

Actresses like Anne Hathaway will be shunned for years for the crime of *checks notes* being considered “annoying” and “oversaturated” while actors will beat their famous wives and seemingly the entire industry will rally around putting them in franchise reboots as soon as possible

as predicted, the "teen takeover" thing is just the latest "ooh there's a scary crime wave, trust us bro" narrative from corporate-owned news media

i'm going to open a restaurant called Roux the Day

Doctor Who Without Borders

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

but can Santa tell if you're in a coma

it's that time again, when we invent new Dick Tracy villains like the wealthy seafood heir who joined a monastery, Cloisters Rockefeller

you've mongered your last fish

so i don't know what it would be about but there needs to be a movie with the title "Terms and Conditions of Endearment"

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

FOOD INDUSTRY: Easy open packaging! It's great! Yogurt, bread, you name it! ME: how about bacon packages FOOD INDUSTRY: ha ha fuck you why would we do that

breaking news: political insiders who benefit from the status quo will oppose efforts to change it

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. Because you might have to kill more than one person.

it's only imperialism if it's from the Imperial Valley. otherwise it's just sparkling conquest

there should be a crossover between The Good Place and that show about the Chicago restaurant, called The Bearimy

new rule: every company that collects private information about people also has to publish the same information about its CEO
