previously, it took just five years to lose $80 billion, but thanks to moore's law, a modern company can lose $80 billion in just under six months, a 10x improvement on the state of the art

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the tech barons’ predictions about the future fail to come true, they don’t have to give the money back.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death.

Every conservative pundit’s working overtime to try to make Platner’s sexual assault the face of the New Democratic Party and Donny can’t help but go “well hold on a minute, maybe she made it up”. What an incredible political specimen.

Maine officials search the rocky beach for a new senate candidate. They find an unconscious man clad in tattered rags washed upon the shore. The sea provides for Maine, it always does

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

Well, I know what they're *not* talking about.

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

I don’t care if he falls asleep again, I just want to know when he will stop waking up

this is like a simpsons joke from 1997 about what the white house would be like under donald trump in the year 2026

Scott Pelly and Stephen Colbert should create a show called 90 God Damn Minutes and combine news with pointed comedy.

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

His security detail should only agree to a polygraph if he agrees to a breathalyzer

The number of people that completely missed the point of their all-time favorite film franchises is mind-boggling.

After the insurrection, Cori Bush was the first member of Congress to suggest expelling members of Congress who supported Trump's coup attempt. AIPAC spent millions to throw her from Congress, and the leaders of the Democratic Party didn't stop them. She was absolutely correct. The coup continues.

democrats: we're waiting for our good friends the republicans to wake up and turn on trump republicans: we're indicting james comey for an instagram pic and trying to get disney thrown off air cause jimmy kimmel talked shit about us

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

i feel like society moved on from these too quickly

Chat is it good when the cosseted idiot ruler sequesters himself in the royal palace with his most conniving courtiers

just speaking as an economist in manufacturing: wholesale electricity prices are going to destroy the US industrial base :) the most recent PJM capacity auction was bad and next year's is gonna be a fucknig bloodbath

"Peter Woods"?? What kind of boring-ass football name is that?? 😂

Managing to lose more than a billion dollars on a platform that doubles as the primary channel for US policy announcements is the 2026 equivalent of managing to bankrupt a casino.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The whole problem is Mike Vrabel being available to reporters

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

IDEA: Carousel of Progress attraction, but each scene goes backwards in time and life improves as technology is stripped away.
