Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

This is because, secretly, trans women hate money, that's why they transition, to get rid of all their money. So, if you GIVE them money, they'll all be SUPER mad, so you should do that

In the vein of "public libraries could never be created today," a pitch for a calculator would get you thrown out of the boardroom. What do you mean, it just maths? Where are the ads supposed to go? How does it send usage telemetry back if it doesn't even have wifi? There isn't even a leaderboard.

I would LOVE to never have to hear his voice again. Newsmax should just do an impression of what they think he must be saying, MST3K style.

As it is Skynet Day, it seems as good a time as any to share that data center based LLM Ai is caught in a death spiral which is going largely unreported in the media. In short, major insurers are creating carve outs for Ai, refusing to insure it, causing corporations to abandon its front facing use.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

again i am just not that interested in debating whether human rights should theoretically extend to robots and ai when we currently don't even extend them to all humans

Line up behind the candidate who promises to fund health care and promote modernized infrastructure development with every cent taken from prosecuting white collar crime.

So historically, instead of just standing up for themselves, Democrats join their bully in attacking themselves, and convince people who want obvious answers to desperate problems that they don't stand for much of anything. And their reward for it is they're still painted as dirty Commies.

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game

Deciding that, of the three groups of people with a vested interest in companies (customers, employees, and shareholders), only shareholders actually mattered sure did fuck things up.

"NOW SEE, DARKSTAR! My Rotational Device is now spinning EVEN FASTER, thus indicating an even GREATER degree of power! IT MAY EVEN BEGIN TO VIBRATE!" "My God, you madman!" "WITNESS as the lights slowly turn on one by one. In a CIRCULAR PATTERN!" "No, not—" "SOON, I WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE!"

"You'll never get away with this, Sir Pureheart!" "YOU'RE TOO LATE, DARKSTAR. My Nominative Disinterminator has already reversed the relationship between names and morality! The elected despots of the pathetic Galactic Hegemony will now bow to the might of the Star Kingdom!" "NOOOOOO!"

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...
