"due to Marxian decay" is one of the weirdest things i've ever read.

@notenglishben.bsky.social

i've entertained such an "idea" and bounced it around with some friends, and like. yeah. nobody says that word. and hanlon's razor is definitely being sharpened.

It's me, a Telegraph columnist, taking a break screaming bloody murder about fairness in the women's sports I wouldn't be caught dead watching to wax lyrical about academic integrity in sociology, a field I consider to be fake, at institutions I consider to be communist indoctrination centers.

dude fell for the bait. i'm now blocked. when i hopped in with this mundane shitpost it was at around 1,200 reskeets. so, a new york times journalist has nothing better to do than go and block over a thousand random people online because they called him out for being a dipshit? galaxy brain move

lexer@theshrine.ca

don't read anything this guy publishes but the ratioing is very funny

goes to reflect on the quality of the new york times' journalism when their ever shrinking staff is spending their time scrolling down a list of thousands of people, tearfully right-clicking and hitting "Block", all whilst choking back "why... why do all of these people hate me?"

i don't even remember who the """journalist""" was, but it genuinely doesn't matter because the new york times is hot garbage regardless of which stenographer of the state department is shoveling garbage du jour whatever merits the NYT has or may have had are utterly eclipsed by that.

cbc.caCanada announces new sanctions on Iranian officials over Strait of Hormuz | CBC NewsCanada has announced new sanctions against five senior Iranian officials, accusing them of being involved in activities obstructing navigation rights in the Strait of Hormuz.

How about some sanctions on US and Israeli officials who launched an illegal war and committed war crimes?

cbc.caPrince George movie theatre employee goes viral after hand drawing Spider-Man poster | CBC NewsA Famous Players 6 employee in Prince George, B.C., improvised and drew movie posters for the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day when the official movie posters never showed up.

this dude is a legend and hell yes he should be drawing more film posters PLEASE. i figured disney/marvel would bring down the lawyer hammer on him but they seem to be rolling with it www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

i know there's a zillion threads on this platform whining about AI (including my own) but i'm still going to add my two and a third cents anyways skipthedishes now has AI in its search for grocery stores? what the fuck. stop doing this ffs

these people are deranged. that they have some degree of awareness over the damage their tools can inflict makes them even more dangerous.

this techbroguy isn't wrong, in that google search has been churned into a pile of useless mush. but i guarantee you the next sentence will be...

tada. here it is. thank god AI is somehow magically immune to having its input well poisoned unlike traditional search engines! absolutely nothing can go wrong with a tool that's ultimately controlled by a psycho neonazi billionaire. absolutely nothing!

these people are deranged. that they have some degree of awareness over the damage their tools can inflict makes them even more dangerous.

and "some google engineer" is intentionally worded because i dunno who this asshole is and don't really care beyond "the work he's doing is dangerous and needs to be reined in. here's one of the grand wizards of this techbro AI cult himself sprouting equally deranged nonsense, minus the awareness:

if your job is creating tools that displace other jobs given this extant fucked-up political economy, then you have no reason to celebrate. also, [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]

these people are deranged. that they have some degree of awareness over the damage their tools can inflict makes them even more dangerous.

forgot alt text: some google engineer working on Gemini tweeting "there’s already some things I’ve stopped using AI for, can’t give up my artisan craft :)"

endlessly amusing that the actual rover is still going but lego gave up on the kit

@lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com

lego makes a lot of dumb stuff ever since they did the shift to licensing other stuff but this one takes the cake thus far. why would you buy the fucking logo of a franchise? insane.

i looked up the specs on these things, and they well more than capable of pumping out enough juice to induce cardiac arrest. and i'm sure all of the very well-trained ICE cops will attempt to use these as responsibly as possible to prevent such from happening. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/...

also please god(s) if we can just have one win. one hilarious win over this nonsense... an article about how an ICE officer with a pacemaker accidentially yeeted himself. preferably whilst trying to jack off. #AbolishICE

12 Aug

or for bonus hilarity a very healthy ICE officer who just rolled poorly on the dice of life

all of their promo materials feature one cop using the GLOVE against the target. as if yank cops don't just dogpile the (probably black) victim.

they are so comically self-unaware that it hurts my brain. a solid "fuck you" to this company. **cops are not workers**. they routinely serve as the paramilitary wing of a fascist State; just look at how long this one article is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... #AbolishICE #AbolishThePolice

i know this is a ridiculous thought experiment but let's just say that ICE officers aren't a pack of psychotic morons and are well trained in the usage of these things. these requirements are beyond absurd for them to be safely deployed in the chaos that is a protest. #AbolishICE

inb4 the wave of news stories about how they've killed protesters with these stupid things because a bunch of them grabbed a hold of someone and wouldn't let go until their heart was turned into cooked meatloaf #AbolishICE #AbolishThePolice
