You’re the human, you’re in charge

he mentions how, even if AI can accomplish something (which he also mentions it doesn’t get it), it halts any progress of the craft in the future source: youtu.be/jiTS9LclmeM?...

Mental health treatment, mental health treatment drugs, and a reduction of mental health stigma. It’s come a long way and there’s a lot of improvement that can still be made.

Trump may be undoing Nixon’s conversion of FDR’s White House swimming pool into the press briefing room, trivia I only know about from reading Doonesbury anthologies as a kid www.nytimes.com/1969/10/21/a...

And media - who loves to ride the drama of a pollercoaster - needs to take a hard look at what's legitimate and what's not. If this teaches us anything - DON'T GET COMPLACENT AND DON'T TRUST THE POLLS. LOCK IN. SIGN UP FOR A CANVASSING SHIFT. LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

New belt

Elon Musk could give every American $1000 and still have over half of his personal wealth. He could give every human being on earth $100 and still be the 26th richest person.

Having a spouse that doesn’t roll their eyes when I say it’s our 2^5 anniversary, how am I so lucky?

Real or fake, stripped down for the demo or exactly what’s for sale next month, I just don’t care.

To Live and Die in LA for Tax Purposes

Saw “Digger” this weekend. It made some weird choices that would make more sense on a second viewing. It’s kind of like The Bride how it was interesting for trying, whether or not it succeeded. I think some of the hate is for the size of the bet and not paying out as a 100% win. Still worth the time

Oh look we’re funding the war on Ukraine on both sides now, with way more money going to Russia.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

A walking ad against shapeweat

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

Starting to think Butlerian Jihad Accelerationism is a good idea

Wondering if the era where every value Republicans have ever held is subservient to winning & power will ever draw to a close

How has the USA become an unreliable ally? Let me count the ways…

What a fiasco.

is it literally that easy lmao

my review of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma letterboxd.com/peevish/film...

Y’know, I was talking with my wife about Nolan’s Odyssey just today. About the theme of changing the rules (Zeus’s law & ignoring it) destroying the whole world. And how continuing to play by the old rules (like Penelope, hosting suitors) just put you at a disadvantage while the world was crumbling.

Oh look, today’s issue of “Fetterman is the Worst”. He should at least lose his committee seats for this.

“La maison, c'est moi”

RIP to Gloria Steinem, a slut from East Toledo

Whatever it is that Republicans call Communism. Communism can keep its own name.

(pointing at 1980 on the graph and just saying 'reagan again')

I will grant you that he has a savantic ability to manipulate people, but how did such a small, petty, incandescently stupid man as Donald Trump is get to be President of the Inited States of America? Twice??!??

New drop of American Imperialism

A multi-generational project to recover from this admin, if we choose to do it at all.

Here, I made something.

Trumpist foreign policy in a nutshell: try to overplay your hand, end up with no path to even what you started with, and deny your own intentions.

Also unexpectedly found @buffalotomband.bsky.social The band and the songs still sound great

I have found the greatest restaurant logo known to man

Another data point in support of my Eloi theory of how AI destroys the human race
