the whole thing: systems naturally trend toward certain outcomes, outcomes benefit certain people, and the quadrant of "not naturally trended toward" and "benefits those with less power" requires intention and attention to resolve. the world is sprinting from this sole value, and that's abhorrent.

this man is a gotdamned patriot

Both false and racist

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

this is unforgivable psychological warfare that is seriously taking a toll on so many. he makes up boogeymen, and people legitimately truly believe him and will ruin relationships rather than be corrected. committing murder of the otherwise sane identities of millions.

Grok fact-checks its master 👇🏽 👀

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

this is the post that had zitron subtweet about how his dissenters don't have morals and then block me. he's the most followed anti-AI voice we've got, and it's hurting the credibility of legitimate AI related concern.

it's sad how many people merely needed an example and once they got one were willing to walk this far down the path of abject racism. that willingness was a sickness that's always been present. but it's also a deep tragedy that the sickness was enabled and actualized. this was all so optional.

🔥 @charlesmblow.bsky.social : “The media is getting this wrong… The Muslim Brotherhood is ~100 years old, Trump just classified them as terrorists this year. 0 terrorist attacks on 🇺🇸 soil — Trump’s dad was arrested at a Klan rally, is he responsible for his dad’s actions?”

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

Diabolical — Republicans appear to be sending fake pro-trans/LGBTQ mailers from Wyoming directly to kids in Texas (not their parents!) to piss off voters

Someone needs to ask him why, if he doesn’t believe the polls showing Repubs getting trounced, the campaign arm of his caucus is spending almost all off its money to protect Republicans in districts that voted for Trump, some by as much as 20 points.

This is what the media does ~ Minnesota 😩👇🏼

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Please stop with the "reports of voting machines switching results" scare mongering. that's like saying there are reports of poll workers wearing "I'm going to shred the ballots" T-shirts. a plan to hack the machines or shred the ballots is scary; if it were real it would not be visible.

jesus christ

This is it. I think this formalization of double speak is not recoverable if it’s not addressed immediately.

America take note! It’s not left vs right. It’s the rich vs the poor.

This Black MAGA creator says she “cannot believe the disrespect” after being removed from a San Antonio rally hosted by Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton!?!?! Why would they treat her this way???

this is the opposite of a good take. when execs' justification for ushering in the terribleness of the modern world is ALWAYS "the incentives made me do it", then there is no remedy but to alter the incentives. it is the role of democracy to hold systems to account where free market fails.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

holy shit, new idea dropped

👇🏽

Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas calls to investigate Republican President Trump's Aid and Comfort to Russia/Putin. Zelensky confirmed Starlink continues to disconnect above 161km/h - Ukraine can't intercept Russian drones, and tests outside Ukraine border show the sabotage is willful.

Hearing from my sources that this "over the top" tweet from Jan Crawford is being discussed internally at CBS. At the same time, as those same sources noted, "Jan is protected by Bari" and has been a very vocal acolyte of Weiss. "She just can't help herself," one network insider said.

Ossoff: "Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the AI they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom ... I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become"

Will any reporter ask the President of the United States to name the five specific states where he alleges that public school teachers are deciding -- all on their own initiative, over the objections of the parents -- to force their children into gender-affirming surgeries? Seems like a big story?

we're reaching conspiracy theory singularity as Ron Johnson accuses Hunter Biden of being involved in Ukrainian bioweapons labs

yes: no impunity. if your ilk won't act pro-socially without motivation, then the current crop of executives' role in history needs to be illustrating the consequences for the benefit of the next. I disagree with the "bubble popping" prediction, but this is applicable for all future reckonings.

You have to appreciate the fact that these idiots always make these comments and never realize the context and facts.

this is crazy, and is trivially AI authored and ran

Q: What brings you to the Trump rally? GUY: I don't like Biden

principles were exchanged for power, and that's shameful. also: a movement so primed to make that exchange, on such obviously twisted grounds, on behalf of a reality tv embodiment of cruelty and incompetence, is a movement with fundamental problems. do not mourn the old GOP, identify what was broke.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

i had to go over to truth social to look this up—no political commentary attached, no caption, just people mauled by big cats

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdIr... this is the focus we need, and I see it from very few other than Garrison. - AI is seriously capable - it is getting more capable - obsoleting is a process that cuts us out of the economic fabric - we do not get to participate in the "utopia" if we don't organize
