a high quality poll of south carolina! and holy shit lmao

Plenty push back against AI artwork, but there's a hard bulwark of programmers defending it to the death. Even my own game engine dug their heels in. Coders, have some self-respect. What you do is creative. All you do by embracing their stolen code is justify their greed and hasten your own end.

I feel the same way. But, in case anything should ever happen, please consider signing up for my newsletter, so I can keep in touch with you all. 💙

Re: the Meta AI update. All I'm gonna say is I'm glad I trusted my gut and did not put all my eggs (or any eggs, really) in the Threads basket after the Twitter collapse. I sure am grateful to be part of the Bluesky community.

The facts of Hasan's complaint against Scott Jennings are actually wild. Worst is probably that they hit Jennings with a C&D, his attorneys acknowledged it and promised a response, and then did nothing. I hope Jennings gets absolutely fucked. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

a 2028 election win means we could extradite flavio so he’ll probably try to flee the US at that point and the whole thing will be extra funny

“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”

Third such incident in two weeks, after Lula and No Kings Meta as currently constructed is incompatible with multiracial, multicultural, electoral democracy

I'm tired of hearing excuses about "well that model wasn't that great" or "the product is responsible [not the execs who released it]." We all know the best realistic scenario is that OpenAI pays this woman's parents a few dollars. Really OpenAI execs should be held liable for this woman's death.

"you got any games on your phone" no but I have like 5500 memes about being trans and communist you wanna look at those

From generational highlight reel to no will will remember. Fucking brutal.

The American CEO who bought Stelco is openly admitting that he purchased the company to sabotage it. This is why the Liberals should have never approved Stelco's sale in the first place. When you give away ownership of a critical industry like steel, your economy is forever under another's thumb.

He said that there was a “code between attorneys” and there’s no way the Feds were going to use this as a giant publicity stunt to villainize me bc they gave their word lmao

1) what is with the government just assuming these people don't lie despite all evidence to the contrary? 2) what point does a perp walk have OTHER than to convince the public that someone is guilty and provide PR for the prosecution?

There are zero commercial breaks without a gambling ad. Then you tell everyone that liberals are racists. MLB outdid themselves with the World Series commercials. Top notch viewing experience

I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

Ads during the 1996 World Series: awe look baby, the frogs are saying "Budweiser" Ads during the 2026 World Series: white genocide is threatening the master race

Baseball has things called "ghost runners" but they don't appear in October, even though it's the spookiest of all months

Sorry but this is all built on speculation about voter vibes mixed with speculation about Trump’s declining trajectory. As we wait for this perfect combo and keep the proverbial powder dry, he’ll have ICE murder half of Minneapolis.

well, well, well... what have we here

Because of the economy every trick-or-treater is getting a firm but sincere handshake.

chat should I get brazilian bbq for lunch tomorrow in celebration of lula’s win

Extremely funny post in the gardening subreddit where a guy spent 10 hours sifting a bag of potting mix because he didn’t like how many wood chips were in it and the first reply is “are you autistic? it’s a $7 bag” then a bunch of people defending OP and then OP replying “Yes lol I’m autistic”
