If you get a new dangerous dog and you tell everyone it's dangerous and you let the dog off leash in a kid's playground and it bites a kid, the dog will be put down and you will be held responsible. Unless you're an AI company in which case you say "it could have killed us all!" and everyone claps

Putin is meddling in the midterms to help Trump by once again mounting a covert disinformation operation that’s spreading phony sex abuse allegations about a Democrat. Ought to be big news.

GOP Rep. Randy Fine says he's been open to deporting Melania Trump and Elon Musk if it turns out they lied on their paperwork

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

@darthbluesky.bsky.social Hey darth I got to hang out with this good girl Minnie Scruffs all weekend

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

In case facts still matter

I can’t find it now but I think a lot about that post about an AI that can drink a beer with your buddy at a table by the river on a sunny day so you have time to make more spreadsheets

1. Die Alten fressen uns mit den Renten die Haare vom Kopf. 2. Die ruinieren die Krankenkassen. 3. Ab wann lohnt sich ne teure Chemo noch? (vorbereitet zB von Junge-Union-Bubis) Worüber die NICHT reden: Spahn, Missbrauch von Krankenkassengeldern für andere Zwecke, Steuerbetrug, Vermögenssteuer...

"So it was a good day for the opponents of despotism. But the future of both countries remains in doubt. Their prospects would be brighter if the U.S. were a staunch champion of liberty. But for now the U.S. is as likely to be on the side of despotism as liberty." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-rall...

“I have never known marginalization of any kind, never been oppressed by any measure, never had to alter anything about myself to be welcomed or feel safe or find success. I’ve never needed to read a room, be aware of my surroundings, or watch my tone…”

Vanity Fair published this story on Thursday. MSM, Cable News - crickets. Newsweek & CBS reported the denials. Gizmodo gave it full coverage (in replies). Dunno, seems it should actually be a "bombshell" like the clickbaiters say.

TRUMP CALLS NORWAY A “SHITHOUSE COUNTRY” AND SAYS “NORWAY SUCKS,” EXPRESSING ANGER OVER NOT RECEIVING THE NOBEL PRIZE DESPITE CLAIMING TO HAVE ENDED WARS.

Wat?! That’s like ALL white people. If Norway is too black for him we got problems

NEW: DOJ just admitted in court that their lawsuit against California is not about outcome determinative issues, it's simply saying that a single non-citizen voting causes the government irreparable harm. That's bananapants.

Yes we are.

It should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

OPINION: "[H]aving fewer competitors can also mean there’s less pressure to improve quality or hold down prices. And the efficiencies of media consolidation often come from producing less original content with fewer people," Seth Ashley writes. buff.ly/dYLs0Ym

OPINION: "What ultimately caused Nolan's death? Asking that does not accuse anyone of hurting him. It does not turn a bruise into proof of murder. It simply recognizes that the medical professionals who examined his body could not definitively determine how he died," Malone writes. buff.ly/SF0nC06

You watch this video halfway through and you figure the description was just joking on how bad he's murdering these other kids but no, it is literal

... that includes a coffin that has flashing lights on it. Inside the coffin is a speaker with someone yelling in a loop 24/7: "hey, let me out of here. Hey you. Help! Let me out of here. Hey, where are you going? Come back! Let me out of here!" That's what I heard (more muffled).

Jesus Christ, these people fucking suck. What is even the point of not responding with a simple, "Yes, of course"? Even for people who don't like El-Sayed, you sound like a fucking mutant who was raised in a lab with this answer.
