Four dimensions is too many! Let's unfold this 4D cube to three dimensions, then two, and then one. Don't worry, we'll put it back together again. The math is lovely, but it's the rhythm and dance of the lines that fascinates me here.

As the sacred texts remind us: youtu.be/zG8LRMoJcYY?...

I don’t know that I want Ossoff to actually win the nomination but at this point I do want him to run because I think seeing the response the base has to his obvious contempt for Republicans will make the entire rest of the field better

Most AI doom arguments are implicitly arguments for nationalizing the labs.

I wonder if they miss the days when they had diesel so cheap they could run massive trucker caravans against democrats.

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

(flips chair around) You know who ELSE practiced their religious beliefs by holding people captive on airplanes?

This thinking is more a kin with the belief that Clinton or Biden "stole" the 2016 or 2020 primaries, Ross isn't saying that running ads is theft, but that the nomination rightfully belonged to AES, & any action to deny him of it is therefore invalid.

I could do this all day.

The extent to which rank prejudice, xenophobia, and racism are just part and parcel of what’s considered common discourse these days is just…so fucking disappointing Running gutter trash like this out of public life should be a priority

need you all to see this deeply indescribable cooking video

Americans when they hear Europeans don't have air conditioning

9 years ago, NBC gave this woman $20 million a year to host a morning talk show and be one of the top faces of its news division.

SAM ALTMAN: AI is going to become utility like electricity or water, people will buy it from us on a meter. BERNIE SANDERS: Yes, and we will nationalize it.

I’ve watched this 500x

That man’s name? Graham Platner

watching people get into fights with the discourse bot is incredible

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Boy this generation is gonna produce some interesting mass shooters

To me, this is Bluesky:

lol the shooter has a BLUE SKY ACCOUNT, well here’s one excuse that won’t work:

It's today, today!

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats • The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

okay now this is posting

I'm just so fucking tired.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

That’s Smee in the corner

Also worth remembering that after losing a (very shaky) majority in 2008, liberals were in the wilderness for 15 years. But they kept fighting and reclaimed a majority in 2023. Taking the long view is important.

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

FFS...
