"You can't criticize Hindenburg for appointing Hitler chancellor. To not do so would go against political norms and erode democracy. Elections are coming up. Do you want the Nazis to win?!" - Some liberals in 1933 Germany, probably

There can never be another "water under the bridge" administration ever again, and part of that is going to involve shaming everyone on board with this one - voters included - as the disgusting pig racists they are

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

I feel like… this is just… the ad?

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

.…ohhh! I get it now! He's fascist Dan Quayle!

How a 45-minute dinner with Lindsey Graham at Charlie Palmer Steak in Washington, D.C. allegedly led to a $100,000 campaign contribution made in exchange for a $10 million government contract.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

If you need any further proof corporations just hate people, could you imagine an employee losing a company $20 billion in revenue, "attempted to hack government sites", etc. in a quarter and their response to that being "here is this new policy about not bully this employee?"

Nicolas Cage says he’s “probably not” working with Amazon again after refusing to sign AI waiver for “Spider-Noir”: ‘I am not an AI-friendly actor’

Vance: "never speak about something you don't have the full facts on" Yes, that is definitely a trademark of the Trump administration.

OpenAI who art in the cloud, misleading be thy name. Thy singularity come, No matter the financial sum, On-prem as it is in the cloud. Give us this day our daily credits

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him ... all the abortion, it's evil ... I want to see 2 people -- Trump & Jesus...we do not want Muslims taking over...I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country...they need to pack up & go back where they came from."

To quote a @chrislhayes.bsky.social jape at the Roberts Court: "They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one."

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

Macklemore Announces 'Free Palestine Tour' With Dates in Paris, London, and Dublin

AGAIN! You do not need to fear "superintelligent AI" "going rogue" & killing humans, when HUMANS keep putting regular, everyday shitty-assed, extremely error-prone "AI" into potentially life-&-death-crucial systems. It does not have to be "powerful" to do that! It can do that & still be very shitty!

Democrats' refusal to hold Amy Acton accountable for her recent anti-trans pivot enabled this. You cannot ask trans people to just ignore or look past stuff like this, you need to stand with us now. This gutter bigotry is unacceptable and disqualifying. Candidates like this *are* the greater evil

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

This why Batman had no issue launching missles at him while driving high speeds on a civilian road, but couldn't let Joker fall off a building. Don't question Batman!

"When a bridge collapses, you don’t analyze whether the bridge was ethical or sentient or why it decided to collapse. You ask, who built this bridge to be so flimsy? There are permits you have to acquire [& supposed] tests. When you ask about the bridge collapsing itself, you’ve lost the thread"

holy shit this is so perfect

Instead of hydroplaning, you could be aeroplaning.

I was talking with my spouse (no BlueSky presence) about how weird it was that my focus in software engineering went from "track every decision made by who, when, and why" to "throw it into the black box and run with it." Her response that in both corporations are running away from liability was 🎯

"An AI agent went rogue" also feels like a test drive for an era when no one is responsible for the worst things these products do. Seems like a standard that could be really convenient for certain governments.

Code doesn't do what you intend? A bug. Not intelligence. Code subverts security? An exploit. Not intelligence. Difficult to understand why the code did what it did? Obfuscation. Not intelligence. Should have nipped this nonsense in the bud when they pushed "the cloud" & "serverless architecture"

The United States: where giving a frail voter waiting in the Georgia sun a glass of water is punishable by a year in prison, but the president can offer everyone $5k to vote for his party.
