Zitron accidentally making his first good point about the downsides of AI.

My President. Ossoff 2028

ossof basically

On the day of the massacre of Israelis you probably want to just mention that. You'll get criticism either way so pick the moral message, then return to your regularly scheduled (and justified) criticism of Israels response to said massacre.

Yeah, this is like...the DEFINITION of bothsidesing.

"Some people who agree with you are actually psychotic" is like *the* core lesson of politics on the internet and anyone who hasn't learned it yet is either new here or doesn't *want* to learn it.

every time I see headlines about Hasan

"why does the left distrust AI" certainly has plenty to do with the technology itself but at its core I think it is about the fact that everyone building it is a wannabe fascist oligarch and nobody trusts them on a god damn thing

dunno if it can get more on the nose than "condemning racism makes you a cuckold"

Begging gullible Westerners to watch at least one contemporary Chinese drama before proclaiming China to be a model country where everyone has a guaranteed job and a home. You won't believe the stuff that gets made in China despite the strict censorship. You'd think it's CIA propaganda.

No one sane or with options works as a Trump staffer. It's a shit job, for shit pay, for a shit person. Historically, you got past that by having not having the third and getting people who felt called to service. But with Trump? It's all fools and the worst idealogues.

"Americans … will not tolerate higher energy costs": well, renewables are cheaper than fossil sources now, and getting cheaper — which is why Republicans have had to obstruct and tariff the bejesus out of renewable generating equipment just to add friction.

Like, ffs, if you want to pirate it that bad it's not like anyone can stop you, but just don't go waving around "I pirated the anti-trans creator's show" like you deserve a cookie for consuming the media anyway.

Jesus Christ. What's wrong with a female mentorship program for paratroopers? Women have different issues from dudes! Let them freely associate. And if dudes need to have a group about dude issues (testicle tanning? Talking about being "HIGH-T!!!" Or real issues), let them have that, too.

I’m personally of the opinion that her murder would be unjustifiable regardless. I was one of those weirdo who refused to celebrate Luigi Mangione. I just think the fact that this woman was basically a random employee makes the celebration of her death all the more revolting.

USAID was a free space for tankie and tankie adjacent dingbats to score edgy contrarian points by wildly exaggerating how imperialist it was, confident in the belief that it wouldn’t just disappear, except now it has and everyone is uncomfortably looking elsewhere

Objecting to the destruction of USAID is a pretty clean litmus test for being a serious person and not evil a surprising number of otherwise bad people pass this test, and a shocking number of people who pretend to care do not

it also seems insanely regressive to make your housing tied to your job but wdik

it's really funny how there's an entire Buddhist trope of "monk who understands life is impermanent in the grand cycle of life, suffering, death, and rebirth so he devotes this life to becoming a living weapon of the faith" but because he wears orange robes instead of mail it's totally different

god I hate when restaurants update their online ordering so your previous order no longer works and you have no way to recreate it let me order my fucking teriyaki chicken entree with just chicken and rice and no vegetables, it was working fine last week!

I would also like to say that American Islamophobes have been doing the same thing to normal Muslim spaces and activities for decades now (madrassas! radicalization! sharia!). It's the same shit with a different target.

Nobody's afraid of Piker. We're afraid he's going to hurt Dems in marginal races.

Tired of shitting yourself because the GOP's trying to steal votes? Here's info from a veteran. I live in the US capitol of ballot fraud! The good ol' NC-09. I've personally been hit by two (2) NATIONAL NEWS-level GOP attempts to steal elections. BOTH 👏 FAILED 👏 because we WORKED. Here's how.

Cynicism is cowardice masquerading as wisdom

I have been reliably informed that 1000 MAGA Psykers die every day to keep Truth Social functioning

Much easier to say "AI has improved productivity so we're laying off 10% of our workforce" than "the managers of this business fucked up and overhired during and after the pandemic so we're cutting 10% of our workforce"

Doing ten billion counts of transmisogyny a minute by refusing to hate billy pencils.

what ever happened to "i don't like you and think your posts are bad" smh

Everybody say it with me: I do not care about 2028 polling in 2026. I do not care about 2028 polling in 2026. I do not care about 2028 polling in 2026. I do not care about 2028 polling in 2026. I do not care about 2028 polling in 2026. I do not care about 2028 polling in 2026. I do not care a

hot take, the "spreadsheet jobs" slur from the left is another dimension of "my politics are I hate my parents," because leftists are overwhelmingly from upper-middle-class backgrounds (this is also why they no longer care about women's rights, their moms are feminists)

I think that by and large liberal democrats believe in democracy.

I was thinking of Hasan Piker, but there are plenty to call out.
