Anyone looking to feel some hope right now: the federal government is an absolute mess, but the states have some very cool laws and regulations in the pipeline. If we all contribute to pushing those along, this is an opportunity to win a lot of small victories that will certainly add up

You know, I keep saying "I think Silicon Valley people think AI is good at everything because it's good at code and they think code is the most intellectually challenging task in existence", and then they just go ahead and skeet it out

Hundreds of times a hwat, now?

this is only further convincing me this "trend" was astroturfed by WB

Just received this email WTF IS THIS??? This is a sure fire way to get me to NEVER play your game

First Wall Street demands infinite growth, then private equity swoops in with a $55B leveraged buyout, loads the company with $18B debt, and guts 30 yrs of art to service the interest. Financialization destroys everything it touches. Abolish the stock market. Abolish private equity. Abolish LBOs.

It's weird being into guns because you think the engineering is cool and not because of antisocial fantasies of justified murder

The concept of the American right getting horny for a gender swap of an evil character created by a Scottish woman who famously hates real life gender swapping makes me want to just stare at the horizon until the heat death of the universe.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Please don’t rely on the polls. If they were accurate, we wouldn’t have heard a word about Trump in the last decade.

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

At this point, if you're still in the Leopards Eating Faces Party, there should be no sympathy left for you when you come out faceless. They told you who they are. They showed you who they are. You got paid for the grift and now the grift has eaten you alive. Sit the fuck down.

Imagine the burden of having to research your genealogy and then publicly denounce every terrible act that was done by that ethnic/religious group. Ridiculous.

like most things my intuition is that the internet has made this worse - more parents have gone down some awful social media rabbit hole these days to the point that their children feel like they need to cut them off so, of course, they complain about it in the newspaper

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

Tommy, no~

I read that there's no actual "car" under that car shaped bedframe with four compressed air nozzles welded onto it. So they've taken "drone" stabilizing technology; made it heavier and inefficient and more costly, in an effort to pump & dump Tesla stock. Got it.

Tommy is the *Karen* of 2026.

I just need folks, and particularly Democrats, to understand that these guys haven't changed. They have always been cowards like this; they have always been this easy to push over. You just need to push! You need to know things and believe in things! And it's that easy...

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

I do wish it were possible to impress upon today’s youths how much of what appears legendary cultural stuff in hindsight was just a bunch of freaks finding free-cheap ways to do stuff w other freaks in a place no one else cared about.

They are but mostly in student circles. Otherwise there are entirely too many dumpster fires to put out unfortunately.

Smoke and mirrors. There’s a reason Elon did this at night. This is nothing more than a tech demo. No one is buying even a cut down version anytime soon. But boy howdy are the Tesla fan boys and the financial press gullible.

The stock market has always run on hype and fraud, but they’re taking it to new heights. Guess the imminent collapse has made them reckless.

This is not a serious country.

Ask and ye shall receive. El-Sayed went after Vance last night and crucified him. JD, you are really really bad at this. Go home.

Surprising no one, Tesla and Elon Musk unveil an expensive toy that looks cool, solves zero problems, and is completely unbuildable at scale. Assuming you ever get one at all, you're buying a six-figure pogo stick. There's a reason nobody uses this technology for in-atmosphere maneuvers.

Whoa. Imagine citing 'The Blind Side' as political theory to defend lying propaganda. The Tuohys never adopted Oher; they tricked him into a conservatorship to profit off his story. He was an elite prospect before meeting them. Suing after being defrauded isn't 'fame changing you.'

Moderates and centrists keep acting like embarrassing Republicans doesn't work or change their behavior. Meanwhile, the GOP was terrified to even share a debate stage with Abdul El-Sayed. When they did, he humiliated them. Bullies fold when you actually make them defend their record on camera.

I've spent all day trying to find the words to say about the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, but all I can find is anger. Three children and a teacher are dead. We keep allowing gun violence to take innocent lives. This is not inevitable. This is a political choice.

This is the America we are fighting for

Politics is not Hollywood. Lying for attention will not save lives. It just destroys our credibility.

This is the problem with spreading propaganda internet hoaxes. Even knowing they're fake, people will pick and choose which parts they think must be researched or must be true based on ideology or confirmation bias rather than doing the research themselves. Eggs are not $10 at Walmart.

Probably the most conclusive evidence yet that LLMs are not self-aware or conscious, lol

You were lied to and you spread that lie. Take some accountability instead of pretending your lies were good.

Means-testing is the enemy. It's a trick — a sham. It erodes social cohesion. It stigmatizes. We must escape this notion of deserving and undeserving and drawing arbitrary lines that only serve to divide us. Instead, we should provide universally and tax the rich appropriately.

A state that has endless billions for war, police, and surveillance, but treats dead elementary schoolers as an acceptable, unpreventable operating cost of American life. Spare me the scripts, the thoughts and prayers. God damn the NRA. God damn Republicans. God damn this nation.

5,8 and 11....it makes me so mad. Shot by a 15 y/o. Putting love of guns over the life of a child is unfathomable. It is not mental health it is the guns.

Pretty sure this is AI. So, yeah - I guess it does define the Trump era. Now all parts of the political spectrum have their ideas and events mediated by machine generation instead of actual depictions of a reality that is already bad enough.
