All these billionaire dummies trying to take over governments and use squid glands to live forever, and meanwhile Mariska Hargitay is going to be the main religious figure in 2625 because she executive produced thirty seasons of her being the Living Messiah.

This is the real way that AI is like NFTs and crypto: all of them are taking money that could be used to do something in the real world, and putting it towards the wealthy getting wealthier while providing nothing of value.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Working the midnight shift at the 24-Hour Video I discovered a trove of VHSes with baffling titles and spectacular art, priced at $80 to own. They were worth so much more.

Rest in peace Richard Harrison.

From Ponzi schemes to running a shady cab to pornography to gambling, an awful lot of the kinds of crimes you would set movie plots around are now huge industries because idk app or something.

I can’t fucking believe “organized crime made crime legal“ is an actual thing that happened.

I wish democrats had strong convictions

There are many reasons why Gluesenkamp Perez sucks, but I will never ceased to be amazed by her utter, utter hatred of sea lions. It is *on sight* for this woman with pinnipeds. Her vacation dreams probably include clubs

Holy shit. All of the submission videos are just being uploaded immediately at the bottom of the webpage without any moderation whatsoever. Somebody is getting fired for this. openforlegends.guitarcenter.com/campaign/ope...

The exemplar of this was that 15 minutes Musk was blithering about an “America Party” that would represent “80% of the people”. Massive polarization all across society but the billionaire’s whims party will definitely poll like ice cream and orgasms.

In retrospect, we’ll see the key trend of the era was an elite revolt by the very rich, politicians and media employees against the idea there should be *any limits at all* on their behaviour, up to and including strangers publicly criticising them. All presented as The Wisdom Of The Average Punter.

I’m an ND white guy and I could be making so much money saying “if there’s a 10, 5, even a 1% chance this makes magic real, then we have a moral imperative to do everything we can“ on a stage at the Aspen Ideas Festival

I DESPERATELY need your help with something, even if it’s just sharing this skeet: I’m working on a piec about the evolution of video games and the KEY to my story is a guy named Oscar Munoz who worked for Sega in the early 1990s I’ve tried everything to find him and social media is my last resort

“If you think about it AI data centres are actually the Jews because people lie about both” breathtaking stuff

SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social

The direct historical analogue is actually when they used to pogrom the local jews because the king blamed them for everything so yes I think guillotining monarchs was a substantial improvement

Society that had centuries of civil war and old mad kings doin ultimogeniture to try to get the longest time between successions possible. Also makes it real easy for viziers/eunuchs to influence the young kings, surely an unintended side effect.

Free tip to various fantasy authors: it's not actually the case that all pre-modern monarchies had a rigid law of succession of full male primogeniture inheritance. This kind of thing being locked in is generally later and not a definitive rule in all or even most cases

As the Anthropocene grinds on, anytime things turn out to be worse than expected, there will conspiracizing about who made it worse.

Lab Leak has always seemed like the height of arrogance to me. Like you are essentially saying "nature can never win out" and that's...just not true

Just moved, the cafe near my new place is having a BYO board game night, and I’m super pumped to meet some new folks and wear my new shirt.
