After much research I have perfected the theory of "AI as the One Ring". All AI techbros consistently fall under: - Knows it's bad, thinks they're just built different - Thinks it's inevitable and switches sides w/ no morals - Thinks it's his magic girlfriend - Evil CEO ruling over the rest of them

Eric Adams exchanged personal favors with the Turkish government. Rudy Giuliani covered up evidence that 9/11 responders were endangered by the air quality. Mamdani took a jump shot off the dribble while his friend Steve was open on a backdoor cut.

Back from a two-year hiatus. Biberty sent me. www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

"arabs have contributed nothing to the arts and sciences" is such a funny fucking thing for a bog ape wearing a little suit to say

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

All of the celebrities in gambling commercials will some day have to apologize for being in them. "I had no idea at the time how addicting and predatory it was"

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Pretty sure over the air local FOX affiliates exist in every market for free. Just get an antenna for local broadcasts fam

pooper cratt

As a fan, I got the experience I've waited my whole life for. The Knicks can go back to being a national embarrassment as long as Dolan owns the team for all I care. Rot in hell James

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

as individual services i don't think these are unfair and the larger problem is the difficulty of paying for all of them at once. i think the solution is to just finish reinventing cable: bring back pilot season with free weeks so people can know what they want to watch for the next 4-6 months

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

What's extremely telling is that there is never once an article like this written from the perspective of the person who cut off their parent.

The way I would frame the question is this: “how many children and innocent people will we sacrifice at the altar of a misinterpreted second amendment.”

🚨🚨🚨 Meta just took down the No Kings instagram page with 3000 events happening around the country today

"Bill, we want to bring you back for a part in our new blockbuster, Raiders of the Lost Ark." "You're not gonna call me 'Porkins' again, are you?" "No." "What's my character's name?" "Major Eaton." "Fuck you, George"

Waking up my wife to tell her that I think Aaron Ashby just had the coolest postseason series by a non-closer reliever that I can remember. She was ready for me and maced me so vigorously that I'm making Daffy Duck sounds.

these guys are so getting laid tonight

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

ain’t nobody safe

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

you literally never need to tell me why you're canceling a meeting or asking for a meeting to be canceled. Yes, we can do that, and I am sorry and/or happy for you about whatever happened

many centrists are as disdainful of science as MAGA these days. virtually every study on the topic, and there have been many, show that youth programs reduce crime. it's a settled question. this is no different from claiming vaccines are a hoax.

Lena Dunham in HBO pitch writing GIRLS on the whiteboard, then wiping away the S so it says GIRL, then adding a dollar sign so it says GIRL$, then wiping it all away and writing ARLI$$

UNEARTHED: Ken Paxton caught on video partying with fugitives in Dubai. The fugitives were charged with healthcare fraud and helped bankroll Paxton’s campaign.

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

kinda crazy how it keeps slipping with zero indication of a rebound

i got so many people calling this tweet fakeposting back when i made it but since this is bluesky and things have less reach on here im just going to post the photo

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Btw this is infinitely worse than saying “America deserved 9/11”

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

This is a community note for the ages.

Today I cried instead of screaming out at the world in despair in front of my children and I'm really proud of myself.

red wings in-house dj provided us with possibly the coolest start to a fight in known history last night
