Will Smith. *nods seriously*
💯
I heard Trump is rolling out a new crypto currency that will generate $200 trillion for the US. *nods seriously*
occurs, our logical facilities decrease, and we become much more excited. Something professional sports as monetized very effectively.
Any opinions on how the US' bi-partisan system excites what might be called 'tribal polarization?' You might be more familiar with the concept, but from what I understand we act much more rationally when presented with a choice of three or more, as opposed to a binary choice. When the latter...
Whatever the reasoning, I'm letting it be the basis for the notion that the orange menace will be out of our misery soon enough. I'm pretty sure that DJT is the first human being who's death will brighten my day; and I hate him for it, and wish he were dead because of it. Very cyclical, I know.
Sunday #Pritzker said that no one from the #Trump administration has contacted his team, the CoC, or any other local officials. “It’s clear that they’re secretly planning this. If they actually send in US troops, it would amount to an invasion.” #SheShe www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
"Cheap eggs! Peace in Ukraine! The President is in good health. . . and he's not a pedophile!"
I’m not supposed to be laboring on this Labor Day, but I did want to address one question on a lot of people’s minds: WTF is up with Donald Trump?! open.substack.com/pub/statusku...
Bruising from IV diuretics to deal with fluid build-up, as evidenced in his 'cankles,' and possibly around his heart, and in his renal system. Perhaps his death will be part of the reasoning for triggering martial-law, followed by an administration rebrand under J.D. Thiel. . . sorry, J.D. Vance.
And, once Trump is classified as a sin from the past. . . THEN they'll release the Epstein files.
Or, Vance & Co will unify the MAGAts against their fallen idol. "Blame the dead guy," is a very old trick. And it works even better when there's a lot of truth to it. Then Project 2025 proceeds apace under a rebrand, and slightly adjusted administration.
Trump is truly uniting the world. . . against the US. 👍
Now ponder a J.D. Thiel, sorry, a J.D. Vance presidency. 😬
JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
Happy New Year! 🙂
If I wanted religious fundamentalism, human rights abuses, a climate that's too hot for me, and a chance to end up in prison for speaking my mind, I'd go to the US. It's closer.
China also has about 1.4 billion people, and a few thousand year head-start, so don't feel too bad. 🙂
Or they're tuning in to more accurate news outlets.
To wrap up what I was saying, the meme above is BS that plays to wish fulfillment by presenting bad information. A little bit of searching and you can use accurate information. Yes Canada has a lower crime rate. No, we've had a fuck lot more than 11 deaths. . .so stop spreading false information.
Well, by and large they are.

Thus the list I posted. School shootings in Canada, HS and down, starting from 1902.
Authoritarians love their myths, and science has an ongoing habit of either disproving myth, or providing a completely different perspective on them.
Lithuania has installed so-called 'dragon's teeth' on the border with Russia
Three administrations in a row have stood guard over Epstein's secrets. They didn't ask for names because they already know the names, and don't want them said.
“With the Ice crackdown and the creation of this massive law enforcement agency that only obeys the president – there are no good historical references where that works out well.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Says the one with the 'subway ranter' approach to conversation. Whatever, nutcase.
You really suck at basic interaction skills. Pick a question, and then engage in dialogue on that. Thanks for demonstrating that you're a complete idiot. Bye.
Sometimes you meet the small idiots. And sometimes you meet the big idiots. This is a big one.
Careful. The illusion of reason applies to us as well. All we have to work with when it comes to determining 'reason' is based no performative output. If the output is reasonable, then do you just change your metrics because the reasonable output is from an AI, or unreasonable from a human?
He's specifically talking about AI models that AREN'T LLM. . .so you bring up LLMs 😜
The world is never not falling apart.
it is insane to pretend to be sane in an insane world.
This nutter is stealing that.
You say you're "talking about a system, culturally and economically, where humans are deemed costs." I'm pointing out that you already live in that, and benefit from it. It's just that saved costs also mean your own gains.
I think I'm thinking a few layers past you on this. Do you begrudge your own current conveniences and gains to the lost jobs of others in the software and devices you currently use?
Like the people I'm talking about? You do realize where I was talking about jobs eliminated, right?
I regularly use image editing programs that do the work of at least a half dozen people from the 90s. It's coming. 🤷
We're looking at a near future where all work can be done cheaper and more efficiently by machines and AI than humans. Remember, they don't have to be perfect; they just have to be better than us, and at the current trajectory they're passing that bar a subject at a time.

LOLOLOL
It's almost like there is no emergency, and they're depending on people asking questions, like you are, while the coup proceeds apace.
No idea what the hell tangent you're on.
I know exactly what I meant to say. Fuck off.
Who mentioned pugs? Stop putting fucking words into my mouth.
Look into the topic. Thanks for showing you're uninformed.
(Don't forget the bird's nest of nicotine yellow treasure troll hair though.)
A lookalike overweight old-guy in Oompa Loompa orange makeup-up would do it.
"Weekend at Bernie's/Donny's" sort of golf? *clasps his hands in gleeful hope*
The US is headed to something just as nasty, but along different themes, if they don't correct-course.
Like I said, the later "fix" usually comes in the form of litigation around damaging statements.
That's where they'll often break these things into multiple statements, using more words. Not as pithy, and less helpful when it comes to delivering social-media induced dopamine-hits, but they have the benefit of being more accurate and helping to avoid litigation.
Things aren't always clear. Sometimes matters become clearer as more becomes known. And that's where news media has to be careful about how they phrase things. Were they leading the public to assume guilt in certain parties?
Republican Rep. Barry Moore was heckled so badly at his Alabama town hall that he literally left out the back door in the middle of the event. Moore didn't offer concluding remarks or even bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted "Shame!" during his exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Just as there have been instances where bullets from misfired, dropped, or malfunctioning guns have injured or even killed people. Handbrakes and gun-safeties are very useful things, but like anything, they do fail.
To be fair, we aren't talking about Santa Claus, God, or faeries. Eugenics isn't a topic that requires belief. The human animal can be bred like any other animal; the issues is that the practice is repugnant. Eugenics would yield results; but the costs from the means is much too high.
(Some days I shouldn't be let online without a minder. I think this is one of those days. Sorry about that.)
I'm sure Jack Tapper is all over the Biden topic in Trump's absence. . .
And this is where you should look into the legal claims that can be made for misleading statements.
Oh, it does. Thus the need for accuracy, and not communicating at the level of a child, like this other person wants.
Yes, there are. And to avoid confusion most people aren't afraid to use a few more words, and split a sentence up into two for the sake of accuracy. Out of curiosity, are you from the US? Their news media tends to publish at a lower reading level. . .
Well, pretty much everyone. Some are a bit slower to arrive there than others. . . (I think they may be Americans.)
Again, that would only be if the person had been physically beaten to death with the gun itself. No bullets. That's where we get into publishing false or misleading statements.
We're you wanting me to correct these statements up from the reading level of a child, and point out their legal problems?
Well, no. To kill them with the gun that would be a rather messy bludgeoning act of physically beating them with the gun. That's why people are almost always killed or hurt by the bullets.
Except that it was the car that rammed into the crowd; that's a description of the impact. Just like it was the bullets that hit the civilians. Who initiated the chain that led to that final result is a separate statement.
Most people realize that it's extremely rare for cars to do things like this on their own. Sort of like when people read headlines like 'Civilians killed by gunfire.' Most of us get that another person fired the gun.
Notice how many parents hand their kids a phone or a tablet as a pacifier as well.
I'm sticking with the feel-good idea that the bruises on the backs of his hands are from IV diuretics to stave off things like renal or congestive-heart failure. 🙂
Just like they were supposed to face riotous protests? Turned out to be a few handful of bored bigots with flags.
Fun fact: his father was arrested at a KKK rally.
"What's on tonight?" "It was going to be The Watchmen, but idk. . ."
Hate to break it to you, but there's been a few other, what might be termed as "red-flags," since the election. One or two. . . .🙄
The fact that you can't see the difference, is alarming.
Because it's their fault?
I won't even use them to make funny pictures. Until we have AI models that are open-source so we know what they're doing with our input, and how their output is generated, I'll let the lemmings go first.
I'm twitchy about using humans for mental-health support, never mind AI.
MAGA is big on American traditions like racism, patriarchy, child-marriage, school-shootings, etc.
Odd. Both Canada and Mexico are experiencing a noticeable increase in tourism and visitors. I wonder what the US is doing wrong? 🤔
Alas, a feel-good meme that fibs. Yes, we've had a lot less school shootings in Canada, and it is because of our gun laws; but it's a lot more than 11. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
Bet her exes have psychological scars.
I'm waiting of the rounding up of firearms; from those not suitable, of course.
Eagle Scout here, in Boy Scouts they let us burn the flag as part of the Free Speech Merit Badge btw
They used to be endangered.
Two horsemen, right there.
When they had no statutes to with which to charge the Nazis with, they were invented.
That's just one nail among many in that coffin lid, hammered in since before Reagan.
And hemorrhoids. Let's not forget the hemorrhoids.
Or Mossad does. 🤔
Now, let's talk about enforcement of such rulings. . .
Maybe Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben will come back next. 🙄
