Without realizing it, Trump has fired the starting pistol for the final race to dump all fossil fuels wherever possible as dependencies

If you can’t fucking differentiate between vain and vein in your writing, I’m not going to read your shit 

The irony of the crash of human civilization is you can fix it all by preventing two illegal actions by republicans in 1980 and 2000.

There are so many people today that need to be tarred, feathered, and rode out of town on a rail.

The two biggest problems in America right now are being caused by imaginary problems and imaginary friends.

Watch this bear’s brain short circuit. It’s 1 AM and my back door is open and I am cooking spaghetti sauce and it’s very tempting, but I’m also watching an F1 qualifier which sounds scary.

I look at these and wonder, how do people fuck some of these up? I don't remember seeing them fucked up? And the formatting here screws up 'bated, which is shorted "abated" as in stopped, holding your breath waiting for the other shoe to drop, as it were.

Merriam-Webster@merriam-webster.com

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

I'm not going to link to them, because fuck these guys, but this is from what purports to be a popular drinks site, why are so many of these racist AF? And popular? Never heard of most of these and I'm no naif. Site also features the "flaming jew" and "flaming nazi" shots. WTF.

Is bothering to use correct grammar and spelling for text that will only ever be read by an agent insane? Or is it important I make it clear to our future overlords that I'm not a moron.

Everyone stop what you’re doing and rewrite everything in Rust. We will save time in the long run 🙃

RFK Jr is a fucking moron. He is a drug addled nepo baby fucktard who never should have been anywhere near the levers of power.

I will add my name to this, too. Another NIH scientist, not anonymous, declaring that RFK, jr. is destroying NIH. Don’t want to take my & @markhisted.org’s word for it? 39 current/recent NIHers put their name to this just a few months ago: www.27unihted.org/bethesda-dec...

The 'You Can See Everything' poster that is a close-up on Holmes' face is weirdly disturbing

The combo renaissance/apocalypse continues. I don't have a great opinion of accenture and the value it provides to begin with, so I suspect the people who were at the high end of spend were not always the most efficient with their usage. That said they better have exceptions.

Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

One of the problems with the world being on fast forward is each week most people are just figuring out their response to something that already is over 

I continue to be so very tired of the dumbest motherfuckers having their hands on the wheel.

If we want to regulate AI, why not start with a simple law forcing LLMs to use "Meesa" instead of "I"? Easy to build, easy to verify and deflates a hype while still allowing people to use chatbots (so no one can claim we are limiting anything)

I am so fucking tired of havig to re-auth on Claude. Anthropic needs to get it's shit together.

The reason I'm fairly certain AI will never have 'taste' is most humans don't have detectable levels of it either.

4.5 years later, new whip, same as the old whip. This remains the perfect car at the moment.

That he and Sam Altman apparently 'dated' at one point explains much that I wish didn't need explaining.

This is actually hell, right?

Whatever you do, don't bring your authentic self to a job interview, the mental midgets won't be able to handle it.

Every single one of our 'top' politicians right now must have a palpable stench in their vicinity. Ripe diaper, rotting corpse, or both.
