Taking a page from the Trump playbook, I see www.wsj.com/business/med...
Incredible to have an ‘opposition’ party that can’t even scrape together a decent media blitz against a steroid addled, measles-loving eugenicist who’s on video praising the benefits of DOING HEROIN. Just the most useless people ever, who are effectively helping folks that are trying to kill us.
😭
"Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, will draw on his Christianity when he gives a sold-out series of lectures starting next month on the biblical Antichrist." Excuse me what now www.thetimes.com/us/business/...
The Cardinals really need to get their shit together. A generation of Cubs fans are growing up giving two shits about the Brewers.
Don't mind me, just figuring out how to block engagement announcements from my feed

"How am I supposed to tell my grandson about a gay couple in a Pixar movie, when those two women should have been on leashes accompanying me to the VMAs?" - Snoop Dogg, concerned grandfather
Snoop as a family-friendly role model has never made sense to me.
Snoop Dogg made a Porno in 2001 with Hustler that featured plenty of lesbian sex. Pearl clutching ass crypto shill motherfucker.
I'm sure it was real easy to explain what a pimp is to your grandchildren
I’d never heard of Suzy Weiss before she shit all over Anthony Bourdain, but damn I know all I need to know to know she’s a massive See You Next Tuesday.
BUT THEY GOT RID OF THE CRACKER AND THE BARREL!!!!
Just days after our "fearless, genius leader" met with their President and laid down the law. Ha. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...
Little Brother up in Milwaukee's gettin' mad that the better team is whippin' up on them.
Fair enough

1) Comparing yourself to Putin. Nice self-own. 2) How's this meme workin' out for ya up there at Wrigley North now? :P
Oh like you've got room to talk with Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers and the rest up there. You're just looking for cheap shots.
Guy Cubs into the office wearing a Cubs shirt. I say "Go Cubs Go!" He looks at me funny. Says "What are you talking about?" "Your shirt! Go Cubs!" He looks down, says "Oh this. I don't like baseball. My wife just got it for me for Christmas." Where do we start unpacking here?
It's the anti-Jerry Lewis MDA telethon. "Call in today to help put more kids in wheelchairs. And now here's The Doobie Brothers."
Glad to have someone decent from Iowa making the news for once. And oh wow, I'm completely shocked that Covid Kim doesn't like him. Stupid old twat. www.wsj.com/politics/mee...
I don’t know who decided the Wordle words this week, but they can cram it with walnuts.
I do not want Copilot, Redmond kook. I do not want it in my Outlook. I do not want it on my taskbar. I do not want it in my car. I do not want it in my Word. I do not want the name of it heard. I do not want it in my Excel. You can take your AI crap and go to hell.
My parents raised me to be kind to stupid people. They are both deceased. I can fire at will without fear of being grounded.
The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.
Mr. Clippy, if I wanted to use the word "meet" then I would have typed it instead of "accomodate." Question my choice of words again and I will use you as a murder weapon.
Some bro country dude is gonna be so mad that he loses his truck nuts rolling coal in an EV lane.

ChatGPT can you change my name to Rusty Shackleford when we talk? Cause I cut down on my pills to not be sleepy all the time and now the paranoia is starting to creep back in.
(Puts on fire suit) Hell, Taylor Swift sounds like two stray cats in heat fighting over a hot dog, and look at how popular she is. Couldn't hold a tune in a Guitar Center plastic sack, but yet... billions.

I realize there's about a million unintended ways that skeet could be interpreted, and let me tell ya the only one that's correct is that I don't like hip hop.
My pet conspiracy theory is still the one that hip hop is only popular because it's being forced upon us by a cabal of entertainment executives who realize it's easier to find a guy who goes "uh, yeah, bitches, uh uh uh, yeah, bitches, weed" than the next Freddie Mercury.

"If there’s a hip-hop equivalent of David Bowie, it might just be Tyler [the Creator] — a one-of-a-kind artist..." Imagine having the balls to compare that guy to David Bowie. Absolutely abysmal and hilarious.
Nothing But Trouble. An absolute fever dream of a movie but I loved it.
Pics man, pics!
If kids’ schools trained them for work based on what everyone thought the hot new technology was going to be, both my kids would have spent the past several years learning about the blockchain. This is why schools don’t attempt to do workplace training: life is pretty long.
As long as the ladies stay the fuck out of the dick cream aisle, I'm fine with this.
Found it
Hey @wxdam.com check this convo out 🤣🤣🤣

Congrats!
Today I was a visitor. My friends were waiting for me today before my #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation. Thanks #NF5R Scott @ai5ef.bsky.social for finding me for our #morsecode #cw #QSO. Sounded Great.
I should also add my ham radios to that list of places to hang. Haha. Ain't nothin' nerdier than an old vacuum tube radio in the corner of the basement!
I was not expecting morbidly obese, house-bound Bill and belly-laughed at that 🤣
I check it occasionally 🤣
I'm amazed that something programmed to tailor itself to everything I say and do somehow knows exactly what I want to hear. It must be... God or aliens or something.
I just saw something a couple days ago how AI would spawn the next great pseudo-religion and... well, this is timely www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfK6...
Powers down router, turns on shortwave radio... youtu.be/J5ZmLvy_Jfg?... #theinternetisdying
Tunes around the band, discovers all the major broadcasters shut down and went to streaming, all that's left is right-wing conspiracy nuts and religious zealots...
I really don't care, tbh. The place got worse when the famous folk from the bird site came over after the election, IMO. It was a lot more fun when it was randos sharing Alf pics. Now it's all "hey, retweet the 100k+ follower whore"
Mastodon, Lemmy, Pie, Fark, Slashdot, self-hosted website, telnet board, dial-up BBS, idgaf I'll find somewhere to kill time. The less people the better.
The "we have to put obstacles in the way to make sure that people who don't deserve help don't get it" bureaucratic strategy just puts obstacles in the way for people who DO deserve help and then nobody gets help. It's a centrist, neoliberal tactic that keeps the status quo in place.
Under Cuomo's plan, many applicants will get their grocery/bus fare subsidies denied on bureaucratic technicalities, just like what happens with SNAP and Medicaid and other safety net programs now. It's a classic "centrist" strategy to make it seem like they want to help but actually not help at all
Something/someone popular that you can't stand: Jack Black. Guy just tries too hard. Over emotes. Tone it down Mr. Bartlett.
I have a friend who swears this is evidence that the FBI staged the whole thing to make Trump look bad. "Why would the police tell them to be violent?" Sooooo close to figuring it out.
New level of dystopia achieved: A state Supreme Court has announced a death sentence ruling via an AI spokesman
Sunk-cost fallacy and cheating students are the only things keeping AI in business at this point. Just look at how usage of ChatGPT plummets as soon as the semester ends.
Don’t look now, but I think they might be looking for someone to take Colbert’s time slot… 😏

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.
Judge could be on the IL all season and still be an MVP favorite, just because of what team he plays for.
Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
I'm old enough to remember when FEMA camps were all the rage in right-wing conspiracist circles. "They're gonna make them into concentration camps for us white conservatives!" And now they run them. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...
The official government website which displays the text of the constitution has removed sections 9 and 10 of Article 1. I'm sure that's just an odd happenstance. web.archive.org/web/diff/202... constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic... constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic...
When the rich won't let it "trickle down," the Government must take it away and force the issue. When they do, surprise! People who have to spend money do so, and the rich get richer.
Love the sarcasm. Lol
Fucking etsy! Now that "timely" responses to messages affect your "star seller" rating (a real thing, no joke) etsy are now burying my shop in the shitty search function. If a few people with an etsy acct could send me a cheeky message on there so I can reply to it, I would be extremely grateful!
Define modern-day liberals in a photo. "We want things to get better for those people, as long as we don't have to be near it and it doesn't affect our portfolio."
The idiots run everything and are too stupid to recognize intelligence when they see it. They just pander to what their dear leaders tell them.
"Why do we keep losing elections?!?"
I like this Kittredge guy the Cubs picked up. Gray beard. Has a gut. Pitches like he doesn't know what he's doing. Looks like a beer-league softball guy. #GoCubsGo
Go Cubs. Don’t @ me.
My torches are wrapped and doused in kerosene, ready to march.
‘OpenAI is losing 8 billion this year alone’. Ed Zitron weighing in on AI hype. If this technogy is so popular, so inevitable, why are tech companies having to ram it down our throats? And why can’t it make a profit?

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!" Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

Age verification? I remember people getting mad when the gummit wouldn't let them have a beer on the drive home.
Age verification? I used to watch Vanna White turn the letters instead of touching a screen.
We all took a vote. We're skipping August this year. Nobody sane likes that month anyway. (Apologies to my Aunt who was born that month. She can pick a different one.)
For the past week it has been 100 degrees here, even worse with the humidity. Today it is 70, dark, and rainy. I have worn a flannel to work. I am manifesting autumn, bitches.
Womp womp
I mean... look what they do with chili.
