Idk if we as a society are ready for this conversation but we need to address how much surf-culture focused singer-songwriter Jack Johnson looks like Jeffrey Epstein

There was a viral post I saw citing an email from The New York Times to Jeffrey Epstein with the subject "Thank you for your support!" claiming it proved Epstein colluded with the NYT. It was a generic email that went to all subscribers! Obvious with a moment of reading. The IG post had 1m views.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

It's absolutely bonkers to me that this image led directly to this tweet.

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

reminds me of something an emmy-winning comedy writer said years ago in a shared group chat

In 2010, Ellison again tried to bankroll a movie for himself to star in. He wrote a script for "Northern Lights," and almost signed Taylor Lautner to co-star (for $7.5 million!) but then Lautner backed out when he found out Ellison was trying to co-star hahahah

my most distinct memory from going to multiple CPACs is a guy telling me that he doesn't support gay marriage because he's "been married for 20 years, following the rules, and all of a sudden the rules change?"

Journalism quote of the day: "Wednesday at 11am is perfect! I'll be there then!" -Nellie Bowles, Free Press writer and Bari Weiss's wife, on Jeffrey Epstein's apartment.

there should be a law for pickup trucks where you need to have a bumper sticker that says if you actually need a pickup truck for work or not. just for the ease of people deciding wether or not to be annoyed by them.

just saw one of the dumbest takes i've heard from 'my side': the claim that Trump mimicking/mocking that reporter with a disability is the 'worst thing Trump has ever done.' did they turn off the news that day and never turn it back on?

my dad has dementia and I joke about telling him "okay bye dad, don't forget tomorrow you have to be the president of the united states" when i'm leaving a visit (would never actually do that) but I realized recently that that's just how joe biden had to live

🚨 Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot by ICE officers during what federal officials described as a targeted enforcement operation. His son says his father was on his way to work when it happened. Rep. Sylvia Garcia is calling for an independent investigation into the shooting: bit.ly/4aHxz48

In case it wasn’t clear, I think there are a lot of mistakes and beliefs that people can change and — with effort and good faith — try to make right. Rape is not one of those. You cannot rehabilitate a rapist. There is no room for rapists in our movement.

hypothetical: "it" happens today, but then his ghost personally haunts YOU. he's not doing anything super malicious, hes just kind of there, like a spectral rooomate. do you make that sacrifice for your country?

“ok we need to get SOMEONE into the spaghetti-free zone. it's vital. we'll give you ALL of our resources to get there, you just NEED to be ABSOLUTLEY SURE you have ZERO spaghetti" grahm platner with spaghetti in all his pockets, hanging out of his mouth and taped all over his body: "I'll do it"

the politics around trans rights have changed radically in just a few years—and that means they can change once again, and in the right direction. the supreme court doesn't get to decide that!

Racheline Maltese@racheline.bsky.social

Just because SCOTUS affirms a type of discrimination does not mean that discrimination is required. This decision should not cause us to weaken our efforts for trans inclusion in general or trans inclusion in sports in particular. Cis allies, you very specifically, need to double down.

Sean Morrow reposted

in Jan, I was at the rally for the trans sports case at the Supreme Court. today SCOTUS ruled states can ban trans girls from sports. @us.theguardian.com "This hyper-focus on sports is yet another example of the ways that they are trying to erase trans and non-binary people from public life.”

In 2010 a transhumanist cult released a documentary called "The Singularity is Near" based on the writings of Ray Kurzweil. Alan Dershowitz is in it: he does an interview on the legality of sex with virtual beings... but there are also scripted scenes where he plays himself defending a robot.

I found this awhile back and then tried to look it up the other day, and in the few months since I saw it they seemingly removed every copy from the internet, including the Internet Archive. But i'd downloaded the whole thing already lol.

ive always wondered if Claude fucks up on purpose to make you use more tokens redoing it....

As I predicted two weeks ago, everyone is being told to go and do token-intensive loops. Use more tokens folks! Follow the great prophecy! If everybody keeps doing the right thing at the same time they’ll drop more stuff from the sky! Do not doubt the AI industry! www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-slowin...
