Just got a YouTube ad about how data centers are good for Virginia (where I no longer live but whatever) and everything they said was a lie. If I encounter it again I will post screenshots. Meanwhile I wonder: can they be sued for false advertisement?

Elon Musk is the emptiest person in the world. He doesn’t have friends, he only has relationships with women as vessels for his bizarre idea that he can spread his offspring around the world. He reads Sci-Fi novels and doesn’t understand them. I feel like he just needs a friend to chill with? HMU!

We can talk about the Mars Trilogy while smoking and pass out. I’ll bring up Marx and you’ll just laugh, I’ll recommend some anime, and we’ll just watch Paranoia Agent. I’ll ask you about Grimes. I had a crush on her kind of at one point. I mean Art Angels is a GOATed album

You want to be a world historic figure, right? You could be the American Lenin. And you could best him by creating a truly Marxist and democratic society. A society that doesn’t end up being run by a Stalin type.

The US wants to beat China? Okay let’s do socialism better. Let’s take advantage of our wealth and create a worker owned society. Let’s implement the basic idea of universal healthcare. Let’s acknowledge that ExxonMobil is the past, that green energy is much cheaper, but it doesn’t help warmongers.

Just as Netanyahu was willing to prop up Hamas for political gain he is willing to ally himself with a disturbingly antisemitic American right. The alliance only makes sense when you consider their shared belief in the ethnostate. This is also why white supremacists like Black Panther and Wakanda

I really don’t like the calls to strip Musk of his citizenship. We need to make sure that Ilhan Omar does not have her citizenship revoked, and revoking that dipshit Musk’s citizenship just normalizes this practice. For better or worse he’s American and can suffer in an American prison.

To be clear I do know that ‘x’ in pinyin represents the alveolo-palatal fricative not the alveolar fricative, but English doesn’t have that sound so it’s realized as [ʃ].

If we’re going to keep doing war can we at least dial it back and use swords and bows and arrows? Maybe some trebuchets? A few unique units once you enter the castle age? Just spitballing here

Neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, biology, physics, psychology… weird how we never see these perspectives brought up in the conversation around LLMs

The LGBTQ community isn’t sending its best for POTUS. There’s Donald Trump and James Buchanan who are in competition for the worst president of all time.

From my understanding, the tech oligarchs are pushing AI while warning about the supposed danger that it will kill or enslave us all because they want to live in a science fiction world so much that they’re fine with it being a dystopia.

I commented on a Kamala Harris tweet (bleat? Whatever we call this shit on Bluesky) And wow, the discourse among mainstream Democrats is unhinged. I thought tankies and hardcore anarchists were a bit much but fuck. Should have stuck to leftist Bluesky and whatever the equivalent of weird Twitter is

I knew these types existed, but it’s weird being called an antisemite for opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza and a Russian propagandist for… reasons?

I know it can be interpreted as agist, but there are a few things I think persons above a certain age should have to prove mental competency for: political office. Trump is obviously in decline, even more so than Biden. The next is driving. The next is self checkout at the grocery store.

David Fincher has famously directed movies and shows about sociopaths and serial killers: ‘Seven’, ‘Fight Club’, ‘Zodiac’, ‘Mindhunter’. In light of the release of ‘The Social Reckoning’, I should remind you that he also directed ‘The Social Network’.

Just run on universal healthcare you fucking dipshit politicians. Do any of you remember the laughingstock that was the ‘Greatest American’ poll back in 2005? Well the Canadians did the same thing and chose Tommy Douglas who introduced universal healthcare there. We’re so damn fucked by capitalism

If we want to view China as a rival, maybe we should consider that they’ve invested heavily in cheap alternative energy and can make all of our investments in fossil fuels look silly. Idk, maybe the AI race and DeepSeek are a distraction.

Russia is kind of fucked in this situation too. China and Russia have only ever been allies of convenience. The Sino-Soviet split occurred when both were ruled by communist parties, and now China is investing heavily in green energy while Russia is a petrostate.

The pillars of our international dominance rely on our numerous bases around the world and the dollar as the global reserve currency. Iran has shown how drone warfare can undermine the former while the BRICS countries are trying to undermine the latter.

Oh, and our anti immigrant policies are detrimental. China has four times our population, and thus has a lot more human capital. China has a population larger than North America and South America combined.

it is truly incredible how much our culture revolves around media get a grip yall terminator was a fucking movie its not like you see everyone in norway or kazakhstan trying to pinpoint the exact date skynet arrives maybe theres a reason for that

We’re on the verge of a general collapse. We’re not going to stop climate change: climate collapse The far right is rising around the world: political collapse Economic growth is based purely on the tech sector and AI: economic collapse. The Ellisons own WB and Paramount: cultural collapse

I said this in the comments but whatever San Diego is the homeport of the US Pacific naval fleet. By personnel it is the fourth largest in the country. Nuking it would be a disaster for the US military. Not only are they evil pieces of shit they’re also very stupid.

Tillis on Trump musing about LA and San Diego being nuked: "If it was said about Charlotte or Raleigh, I'd be really mad"

We haven’t actually processed the COVID pandemic. We just gradually decided it was over and didn’t really process what happened, what it means for the future, what lessons we can take from it, how to deal with future pandemics, and how our interconnected world can respond across borders

Weebs (otaku, anime fans, whatever) who are also very into art house film, I have an important announcement: the K-ON! movie is on the Criterion Channel… holy shit. We win. I’m not talking to you plebs walking around in your Naruto and Demon Slayer shirts, real otaku know why this is big。

But seriously, the studio that made this movie and the show it’s part of was subject to an arson attack by a deranged fan who felt they had plagiarized him. 36 people died, 33 were injured. It’s really cool to have a different type of anime appreciated but the context is dark and sad.

Why do so many right wing tech bro chuds shave their heads? They’re not Picard, they’re not Professor X, they’re not even Lex Luthor. They’re a bunch of sad and isolated people. I guess they think if they’re bald, people will see how big their brains are. Dipshits.

If Avengers Doomsday doesn’t include an MF DOOM song then fuck it. I don’t care if it somehow wins the fucking Palme d’Or. I’m already annoyed they didn’t do an in memoriam for Gerry Conway, the main creator of the Punisher, after the last Spider-Man movie.

There were also designs that combined the skull with the colors of the trans flag. Maybe all this is why they didn’t acknowledge him, even in the Punisher special on Disney+. Whatever. RIP to one of the most influential comics creators

A few years ago Gerry Conway started a campaign where he had artists design shirts in support of BLM, partly to reclaim the skull from cops and fascists. This is me wearing the one I bought.
