Lord, imagine having half-an-acre of stomachache!

I will never forget how the Dems did more to crackdown on student protesters trying to stop a genocide than they've ever fought against Trump. If you can mobilize an army of cops to brutalize a small group of unarmed 20-year-olds, you can order them to prevent a fascist takeover of your city.
I wonder if llm's are affecting nominative determinism. Like if your last name is Hamburger and you apply for a job at a burger place, odds are the llm scanning your application is gonna pick up on some statistical correlations with the words.
This is exactly the same thing that happened when translation companies started hiring people to fix machine translations instead of doing the translating. It took exactly the same amount of work and skill from the human worker, but paid half as much.

lol why was one hour of the alien tv show better than 3 of the alien movies
"Almost 90% of Axios now uses ChatGPT for work." How hard is to write or edit 75-word stories?
Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
Every time I've enjoyed myself in my entire life, my parents have been offended that I would dare to have fun when there's all this genuflecting and thanking them for life I could be doing. I should suffer as penance for how much my parents did for me, you see.
Imagining Woody Allen calmly explaining to Maher that, as a pedophile, these things happen
i see that the actual problem with teaching night classes is that i am extremely hype after class. hm.
every single rabid Newsom fanboy who isnāt doing Their Thing for Pritzker right now should disregard previous instructions and explain why
Remembering what the French did to Vichy journalists and editors, as a treat en.nuremberg.media/hronotop/202...
I appreciate the people who gave thoughtful answers to this. Though some good cases were made I cannot say that I have seen any compelling evidence of its effectiveness that justifies the faith in Newsom Iāve seen.
Going Full Jasper Mode. Getting Jasperfied.
ChatGPT is a stupid toy Palantir is a very bad platform built on stupid toys Grok is an even dumber toy DeepMind assembles proteins. IBM has models to speed the rendering of (the rendering of - not the diagnosis) medical imaging. There's a platform out there for de-masking ICE with AI. Tech is tech
It is trivial to add the "computing" back in to computing by creating actual structured data and producing traces of these systems in the exact same way we had to do it when they were massive rules engines. As usual, the public wants to pick a team and cheer for/against openai in a two party system
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
Every reporter who's in the same room as Schmitt for as much as 10 seconds over the next week & doesn't yell "Who did you mean by 'us'?" should retire in disgrace.
Where's this hero's bail fund
I guess it's always like this, but it is nonetheless jarring to constantly see a chorus of dissolutes decrying our society's decadence.
HUGE. The 5th Circuit joins many other federal courts in holding that Trumpās invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was unlawful. The judges emphasize that the law is fundamentally about *war* and about military actions; not illegal immigration or drug trafficking.
Execution with no trial or evidence or due process
this is going to sound stupid but it's entirely because we live in the era of postmodern fascism and because they wanted to post a video about them killing people for the base
We couldāve had this if we invested in public transport.
I don't think "both sides" are bad. There is one side who thinks extrajudicial assassinations are fine, and another that thinks they are wicked, illegal, and unconstitutional. If you want to make excuses for people because they have the correct letter next to their name, you have also chosen a side.
listening to Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumors' front to back for the first time in forever and realizing it's like a season of the X Files- evenly split between Lore and Monster of the Week songs
Pritzker should also be prepared to block roads and cut off water and electricity from buildings occupied by invading troops.
theyāre so close
anyway itās shocking that no one was able to predict that when the George W. Bush administration gave itself unreviewable powers to murder and imprison people, those powers were eventually going to get used intentionally on noncombatants
I'm just glad that after a hastily arranged and mysteriously delayed press conference about something no one cares about, all doubts about donald trump's health and connections to jeffrey epstein have been put to rest forevermore
that method creates french people though and we do not want that
Boston as well. I know @mayorwu.boston.gov lives in their heads rent-free.
yes i am sure
hopefully some sendible reasonable 80 year olds will talk to him soon about softening the message something like "talk to your communities about our country together, folks, esp. republicans"
Pritzker is doing two things here that are smart. One, he's describing this forcefully and unapologetically and in his own terms, not adopting the Admin/media frame. Two, he's making clear that he will blame the Admin for any violence or disorder sparked by their invasion of his state.
āFilm things you see happeningā¦Be loud for Americaā is quite the rallying cry.
these perfectly fine mild tumblr jokes in a reposted meme from FB but the extremely half-assed censorship of "adderall" here sends me into unspeakable rage
*fascists start throwing people out of helicopters* dems:"can we play debate club today?"
The best quote Iāve ever seen about this is that every Democratic leader of the 21st century is ideally suited by temperament and mindset to be in congress in 1995 debating the v-chip.
the democratic party's bias to normalcy is gonna kill us off. the gop is literally talking about a military junta and the democratic leader is operating like he can just cut a deal with republicans like its normal times.
the place i've come to is this: for something like 30 years i've swallowed my disgust, voted for clinton, gore, kerry, h. clinton, kamala, even though they all sucked for reasons. didn't sit out, didn't walk away. next 30 years? i'm done. fuck you democrats, i'm out. not my job to suck ass anymore
being told to be a team player in this manner is such violence. people are not interested in coddling the feelings of those with less at stake or going out of their way not to trigger others by invoking newsom. nor should they be! are we adults or not? are we interested in each other or not?
no idea what this is about but agree with the sentiment
Wasn't this illegal?
Youāll be shocked to learn that the guy who tried to violently overturn his loss now wants to take over Washington DC so no one can stop him from staying in power.
looks like he brought a bag lunch
I looked at the actual survey summary and lol. seems like there might be another article to write here
in greek it was used in the sense of 'layman' and then 'ignorant person' how far back are we allowed to go for words' meanings when the modern usage is drastically different and only used medically for 100yrs. words are derived from usage, not some pure essence within
Here is the public procurement record showing that ICE is to regain access to its $2 million purchase of Paragon spyware. Paragon sells powerful mobile phone spyware to governments. Biden admin stopped ICE at time; now lifted (jackpoulson.substack.com/p/exclusive-...)
being mystified by this should really disqualify them as data analysts
This is a really interesting piece. A quick thought on this graf: perhaps it's because people _believe_ in compassion and empathy, "liberal" ideals of helping those who need it most, but in practice, are more selfish? It also shows how conservative-coded media is. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...
1.2M immigrants gone from US labor force under Trump, preliminary data shows
U.S. Army veteran Bajun Mavalwalla II has been charged with āconspiracy to impede or injure officersā for participating in a mild anti ICE protest where he wasn't even arrested. The current acting U.S. attorney, Pete Serrano, has described the J6 rioters as āpolitical prisoners.ā
An officer briefly became the face of Trumpās brutality mandate in DC after popping up in various videos like federal Forrest Gump. @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated and found heās a 26-year-old former Eagle Scout named Patrick OāHanlon who says he was just doing his job. Our report:
This admin is going to hide the stroke from the public for as long as possible, because if they have to 25th his ass and have JD take office, the free ride of unobstructed fascism comes to an end. They're going to Weekend at Bernies this motherfucker to the midterms.
"oh hey, trump brought his own lunch"
lord i've seen what you've done for others
this is my cousins' and tbf all his best men warned him about this "no sex in the dark bro" "keep a table lamp on" they warned
The fact that we Angelenos donāt take pride in the fact that the Hass avocado is from L.A. County (La Habra Heights) is one of those inconsequential things I regularly get angry about. Why does this place have so little pride in or even awareness of itself?!? So many L.A. things like that.
ive got no idea what's going on with Trump's health. But the 'biden precedent' is just so glaring and hilarious. half of 2025 has been taken up with elite press shaming of how no one ever talked abt Biden's age which was actually their main topic in 2024. Ok. Set aside that his party literally ...
The difference between the text of the post and the headline of the article below it is staggering
Just imagine what is being saved for the book this week.
is james cameron a better director? yes. did james cameron ever direct anything better than red october? sorry no. hollywood is a strange place
also having not seen this in decades its amazing how the valence of paul rieser as a villain changes when you're older. he's not just an evil corporate guy, he's a specific kind of 29 year old rising corporate star/sociopath and he's great
unfortunately you are alarmingly close to the actual plot
A local diner was raided by ICE and 14 people were kidnapped, and most of the locals seem more concerned with where they're going to get their hashbrowns than with anything else. Unfriendly reminder that immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and migrants don't owe you labor to deserve respect.
Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future.
I can count on one hand the people who work as opinion columnists at national broadsheets, which are positions of frankly insane power over the public perception of any given issue, and do the job with anything like the kind of rigor and humility it demands
seriously though why are inlaws always like that "it looked like a child's but our grandchild is the only child who comes over so we threw it away"
Well it was fun while it lasted but we're either invading Venezuela or ending democracy now.
genuinely: i hate 99% of people who work in so-called edtech because none of it involves "pay teachers more"
Everyone expects it's him going into hospice but I bet it's a new war and maybe also that there will live executions on the White House lawn
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind
it wasn't until today that i realized he wears those fucking hats all the time because he no longer has the energy or desire to fire up the machine that he uses to accomodate his fucked up refusal to accept baldness and turn his cotton candy strands into a C- illusion every single day
i want an alembic or whatever so fuckin bad

as an old this Trump shit is 1000% familiar from back when a Russian leader would be obviously dying and they'd prop them up in a Kremlin window and roll them past photographers in a limo with tinted windows to "prove" they were fine the dude is cooked lol
This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a bossš" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
What's The Frequency Kenneth is so good they should take the copyright away from them it belongs to humanity
ok hol up
Spicy chicken sandwich and frosty run
averaging fourier transforms is going the wrong direction! it's MORE complex than we can present or describe they spend so much time simplifying they end up with nothing, like that raccoon with the cotton candy
just anecdotally, as a person with more than one degree in linguistics, it is an ENDLESS font of levity and horror to watch SV guys precisely equate orthography with human speech/language orthography is a distant model, an actual simulacrum, not the thing itself
Once you realize how much female influencer content of a certain age is set in a car, you realize that maybe you did know the school bus thing was a problem.
i think they did that on the sesame street parody
i looove the jump from "if a machine can do it, a computer can be programmed to do it" into 'we need some more computer power to simulate organic human brains' like yeah maybe that can be early July if we get a late start but def by the picnic on the 4th
feels like it'll be a pretty great week for the losers and the haters
this is what they took from us/this is the future liberals want
"...call ahead on the cellular and tell ivanka we're going to studio 54 tonight phil collins will be there"
hmm. is that the face of a person who recognizes all the faces around him, i wonder
Itās disorienting because Wattsā performance up to this point is so TV-broad, and her performance-within-a-performance here suddenly reveals that to be 100% deliberate. And then the rest of her performance from here outā¦ man.
