If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

I want everyone who was saying Walz would send the Guard to protect us from ICE to please think critically about what "support local law enforcement" means here. Those forces are not our friends. Here we go again

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Oh yeah I forgot to post here about it Mary and I are no longer together after almost 11 years. I'm doing Very Bad, but hopefully I'll be doing better in the future, and hopefully the therapist I've started seeing helps that happen sooner than later.

Trump could nuke NYC and Congress would take a full weekend to decide a sternly worded letter is the best they can do to stop things from getting worse.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

please let “bugs bunnying” become the slang for manipulating an LLM into ignoring its guardrails, i have never seen a more succinct and evocative term for it

Highly amused by the stories of companies using agentic AI chatbots to run their internal company stores, only for their employees to immediately Bugs Bunny the chatbot into giving them free stuff www.aiweirdness.com/when-a-chatb...

In the iPhone mobile app, this is settings>data privacy

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Mandatory Microsoft Copilot training for my client and the person running the training is getting noticeably frustrated by it giving different answers than they got earlier today. The jokes write themselves man.

La vache est fachée@vacheestfachee.bsky.social

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper. They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer. If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help." 🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Johno reposted

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

As a New York City sex offender who supports Israel and has taken a great deal of money from the government of Turkey: this one hurts. I won't lie. We will be back on the horse tomorrow, but tonight? Yeah, it hurts.

THEY DIDN'T SEE HOW BEN SOLO WAS ALIVE???? THAT WAS A BRIDGE TOO FAR????? AFTER THEY "SOMEHOW, PALAPATINE RETURNED" A GUY WHO FELL 6000 FEET INTO A POWER CORE????? HELLO?????

Adam Driver reveals he was developing a new Star Wars movie ‘THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO’ with Steven Soderbergh • Was set after ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ • Lucasfilm loved the idea but Disney said no — “They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive” (Source: apnews.com/article/adam...)

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

and that's credits on Borderlands 4! Story feels so much better than 3, skill trees give so much more variance in builds (without feeling overdone), and more actual humor than meme humor (hit or miss of course, but overall much more palatable as a 33yo)

i am so ready for quantum to be the next dumb buzzword the tech industry forces everyone to pretend to care about. "how are you incorporating quantum into your daily work?" i'm not but it's so refreshing you asked me a new and different stupid question
