Michael Roberts is categorically not building machetebots

I went out for some half-and-half yesterday. They had surgical scissors, gauze, sutures, body bags, even a bone saw. But no half-and-half. Twenty minutes wasted walking to and from the coroner store. I suppose I should have called first.

Literally enlisting people in using growth hacking tactics *against* the networks themselves. I don't know that this is replicable, I don't know how this changes down the line against an adversary who might be even more brazen in their interference, but it worked this time.

The mobilization itself was already not something I ever expected to see, but to actually win? Hell, to double the winning margin from the 2022 runoff? Genuinely surreal. Maybe child raping billionaires *don't* have to run the world with a shit-eating grin. Maybe that can stop.

Trump's increasingly severe dementia raises new questions about Joe Biden's advanced age.

Sure, Katie Zacharia never passed the bar. But Pete Hegseth has never passed one either.

Trump could not defeat Iran. But with Russia’s help, he may yet defeat Ukraine.

I guess the family got out of the little grey cell business.

"It will be soon. It's"

IQ is great because it's terrible at measuring intelligence itself but its use as a metric is one of the top warning signs that you're about to read the dumbest argument ever concieved

still thinking about “if a dog said this i wouldn’t be impressed it was talking”

If your news network is interviewing a guy who claims he spent 18 days in heaven hanging out with Jesus, that is not actually a news network.

COMIC: 100 Billion Stars

This is a good one.

So It’s another fucking Ponzi scheme to funnel tax dollars to these dipshits. In my 17 years/7 combat tours fighting in the GWOT, never once did it occur to me “you know what would improve this? Some ketamine addled nazi dipshit, a fat, smarmy ham faced fuck, and a failed video game developer.”

Sooooper genius intelligence.

eliezer yudcosby. come on guys. make this catch on

This right here.

"Can't hear what the President's saying." Honestly, who gives a fuck what he's saying? It's some kind of hateful and self-serving lie, whatever it is.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Particle board, particle board There’s a big pile on the office floor What in the world are we saving it for? Nobody knows Particle board

David Heinemeier Hansson called for the extermination of Romani people, comparing them to animals. An entire roster of tech tycoons responded by each personally giving him $1 million for his open source software project, even though he’s already wealthy enough to have a personal race car team.

the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to start a sex cult as somebody nobody would ever want to have sex with

The Roku Basilisk: if you don't actively contribute to the formation of superintelligent AI, its eventual inevitable embodiment will resurrect a simulation of you and force you to watch an infinite amount of cheap TV.

So how about this for a "pause AI" proposal: "pause credulous AI reporting". No more media about "breakthroughs" or "rogue agent swarms" or ... UNLESS and UNTIL that media demands the actual empirical evidence and/or focuses on the motivations of & harms by these companies.

It’s alarming how much influence Hasan Piker may potentially one day have in the Democratic Party. by Laura Loomer, Nick Fuentes, David Duke, Thomas Rousseau, James Fishback, and Alex Jones

Honestly, "big-name studios can't agree on the premise of the Muppet Show" sounds like the premise of the Muppet Show

Yet another way AI is ruining the internet: online shopping

In July, a new ICE agent with a history of domestic violence and mental illness killed a man in Maine who even ICE admits posed no threat to him. Now we know that internal whistleblowers at ICE were sounding the alarm about the agency utterly disregarding normal hiring rules.

ICE hasn’t paid for detainee medical care since October. Advocates call it the ‘death policy’ — my latest, w/ @kolyncheang.bsky.social. Spend some time with it www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Charm being charming, as usual.

I have no words.

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s what the Sermon on the Mount gets wrong.

thinking about how they were having to fire & arrest people to try to bully them into being sad about some of these fuckers, and if you want the whole world to stop and grieve your loss, there's one simple life hack: be a good person who just wants to do good things

might be an awkward time to ask but what's a spreadsheet

anyway this is maaaaaybe the most perfect shot I’ve ever taken; it’s not fancy, but I’d just watered the yard and the African daisies were just… out there, looking this good for no damn reason on a Wednesday

Gary, IN has been abandoned just like so many other predominantly Black cities have been when disaster strikes About 40% of the city's 67,000+ residents have been without power for over a week. No refrigeration or AC during the heat of summer - I can't see this happening in a majority white town

Finally found a dead person voting and it’s a Republican senator.

Headline: AI May Be Able To Cure All Diseases. Sure. My cat may be able to grow thumbs and develop mind control to take over the world, but I feel the Great Reign Of Queen Miss Luna Ferocity Shadow is more likely that universal cures from slop.
