Punch your clown or flick your bean to the current vote tallies and exit polling coming in from around the US.... ...then make sure to actually fucking vote, and encourage your family and friends to do the same. We need this to be undeniable. VOTE.

Buying a license to the all-in-one Kenney assets was worth every single penny. Not just because Kenney makes great stuff, but also because Kenney is out there baiting two scumbag billionaires into showing their whole ass.

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.

Facebook shut down the NoKings account, sure, that's definitely bad... But also, WHY ARE YOU STILL USING FACEBOOK PRODUCTS!? Or fucking Twitter!? Facebook has been a known fascist quantity for a decade. Twitter has been since Musk bought it. Yet everyone is all surprised Pikachu...

Stop using the tools of fascism. No AI, no Facebook, No Twitter. Stop relying on the products of fascism to fight fascism. Stop expecting them to provide a consistent service to the resistance.

Listen. Please. EVERYTHING these AI CEOs are saying right now is marketing. ALL. OF. IT. Anthropic's magic chatbots didn't "go rogue." They were specifically set up to swarm a problem, and the controls that keep them contained to the sandbox were shut off. AI is not sentient.

They need you to believe that they have created a bunch of digital kindergarteners, gave them assault weapons and all the Monster energy and candy they could possibly want, and cut them loose in an empty gymnasium and told them "don't leave the room." And now they're out there, in the wild.

Because if the AI companies don't find a way to solve the "10B revenue, 200B CapEx" problem they currently have, and they can't get investors to ejaculate billions on their AI companies, then they're going to collapse. Stop Anthropomorphising the AI Slop Bots. They aren't "going rogue"

And when they hand that bill to the enterprise customers that have been encouraging (or forcing) their employees to adopt it into everything, those customers are going to have to address the very real lack of returns they've had, against the very real 20x (or greater) increase in per-token cost.

They NEED you to believe that this is more than just hallucinating chatbots and shitty cartoons of your coworkers. They need you to believe that this "democratizes code", or whatever, just ignore all the slop PRs that your 200k+/yr developers now have to wade through.

Amodei and Altman (and Musk, like anyone gives a shit) are all of a sudden talking about it like it's a full on danger to humanity and they need to slow down. Maybe they're delusional. Sure. But it's more than likely more marketing strategy.

All of this is building a hype train, where they convince dullard investors to dump more money on them so they can get their IPOs out the door. Because without that influx of cash, the bill for all this useless slop will come due.

AI in its current state doesn't "think", it tries what it knows how to do, and iterates on that approach with what it knows has worked in the past. If you tell it "stay in the sandbox", but don't define the confines, it's going to go outside what you, the human in control, decided was "sandbox."

Oh look, another example of how AI Bros share a single circle with rapists in the venn diagram of "People that don't understand or give a shit about consent."

they know we don't want it. they do not care.

I say this as an ex-Navy guy... The first rule of authorization dictator bullshit funtime is you make absolutely certain the military are well paid, well fed, and comfortable no matter what. Do you want a coup? Because this is how coups happen.

Q: The family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on the USS Lincoln TRUMP: No they're not Q: Has the deployment gone on too long? TRUMP: No no no. Not nearly long enough.

We really need a social network that hides visibility of stuff like this until later in the day. I can't keep starting my work days like this.

Looks like Little is scooping up the primary for Angie's old seat. And Peggy will take the Senate primary nod. This doesn't mean Angie Craig can't continue licking ICE boots and shilling for Crypto Bros. We just won't be paying for it anymore.

Some people, myself included, wake up on primary election day and put pants on... ...and some go on the Internet and show their whole entire ass, apparently. Just do me one favor, Angie. Be sure to thank ICE again when Peggy gets the nomination. 🤡

Angie Craig@angiecraigmn.bsky.social

Proud to earn the endorsement of Patriotic Millionaires. When even millionaires are saying the system is rigged, it’s clear we need a complete overhaul to rebuild an economy that rewards hard work and creates opportunity for all Americans.

Post AI slop = get blocked. Done with this shit. Open MS Fucking Paint. Use GIMP. But posting AI slop feeds the fascist beast. And to the political accounts that follow me: if you post AI slop and want to make lazy excuses, just block me. You're enabling billionaire fascists. Get fucked.

In light of recent DoorDash Trump-sucking fuckery, I've deleted my account (you can't do it in the phone app by the way), and removed the app from my phone. I get that it is an income source for some, but if my delivery fees fund fascism, I'll go back to carry out.

Fellow Americans: This is what we NEED to do this year, and in 2028. We need a super majority, a majority that can't be undercut by filibusters, or Fettermans. One where we hold the animals of Trump1.0 and Trump2.0 accountable, and we press them into paste under the grindstone of justice.

Hungary: TISZA now projected to get 137 seats out of 199. 4 seats beyond the needed 133 super majority to amend the Constitution and replace all Orban loyalists in the government. Orban is done. Magyar will be the new Prime Minister of Hungary.

There are mornings that I wake up and just feel like I'm a worthless sack of shit. Those days are over, because now I can simply watch this servile dullard get up in front of the nation, on camera, and show his whole greasy ass to his boss and the public. How fucking pathetic.

Acting AG Todd Blanche: "I love working for President Trump. It's the greatest honor of a lifetime. And if President Trump chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I'll say, 'Thank you very much, I love you, sir.'"

I just love that Flavor Flav is still a real one. I grew up with Public Enemy, and I am glad to know that 40 years later, Flav is still awesome.

Dear Mark Alford, www.youswear.com/index.asp?wo... Pick one. Or many. Pick them all. I'm fine with whichever one you choose. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

If you're hungry, eat shit. If you're thirsty, eat shit. If you're "struggling", sell your property to someone that actually needs it. And also, eat shit. Landlords are a leech on society, even the "ma and pa" ones. Everyone needs and deserves a roof over their heads.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

In a city packed with mighty real estate titans, they are the small ones. New York landlords say they are at their breaking point as Mayor Zohran Mamdani begins to implement even more aggressive tenant-friendly policies.

The concept of market analysis for crypto is hilarious. It's an asset with no basis whatsoever. With a stock, you can examine the company's debt vs revenue, it's future earnings potential, etc. With crypto, at best you're making a guess about the gullibility of others.

No. We want a lottery for a chance to be the one that gets to kick the stool out from under these fascists after they've been tried and convicted at Nuremberg 2.0. Not whatever this milquetoast and shit sandwich is you're making.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

It is insane to me that the last 15 years of shit-head internet discourse, incel culture, q-anon, gamergate, pedo bullshit, and even MAGA, all traces roots back to SomethingAwful forums banning hentai, which led to m00t meeting with Epstein and opening the politics message board on 4chan.

Minneapolis, MN - Thousands of protesters now marching through Minneapolis chanting for a general strike. Organizers claiming there are hundreds of thousands here. Crowd so large it’s impossible to get a good number without being hundreds of feet in the air.

Holy shit, fucking NO! We need a fighter that can meet the moment that is occurring in this state right now, and Amy has a proven track record of NOT being that person. There is literally photographs of her yucking it up with Trump at the inauguration party she helped plan for him.

Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social

I’m thrilled to support my friend @amyklobuchar.com for governor of Minnesota.

Put the corkscrews away. We haven't won this until ICE is GONE from Minnesota. Bovino and a handful of his idiot pant-load brigade getting whisked away from the state doesn't mean the horrors are over for us. Trump having a lucid conversation with Tim Walz isn't the end of the occupation.
