How about real human intelligence, senator. Please
Just made them piss in the hallways
There's a passage in The Sot-weed Factor where the protagonist argues that signaling of virtue is more virtuous than its action for this reason!
It's hard to believe the most transactional man who ever walked the earth would completely move on from someone whose entire life was devoted to furthering his political project at the precise second that he couldn't get anything out of even his death anymore.
🦋 🫴🏻 Is this... singularity?
This is perhaps the best time to announce that that internet culture reporter has parted ways with Vox and is now open to freelancing, if anyone would like them to, oh, explain the increasing role memes and shitposts have played in extremist violence, for ex: www.vox.com/culture/2019...
This is also what Qualified Immunity achieves too. It creates a barrier to accountability that is protection for the people the state imbues with the power to commit violence. The state, its functionaries, and those who benefit from how it functions, are ALWAYS going to defend its status quo.
Better be there to clean up X-Ai's life-threatening mess
(via @chuckwendig.bsky.social) It does not, in fact, sound like science fiction.
OpenAI is anything but “open”—very early on, it left behind that marketing tag to become increasingly closed, elitist, and inherently anti-democratic. Empire of AI had a rather different subtitle in its UK edition: “Inside the reckless race of total domination.”
"Sexually suggestive", really? It's a fully-clothed woman
Bulldozing encampments is violence.

Hey, fucko
It is becoming clear to me that this is how I would like to be remembered. Well, time to get to work!
Tomorrow is (observed).
We can’t even do one at a time anymore.
Jim Acosta getting that interview next week
It is very brutally POETIC. But it is not justice
Charlie Kirk gearing up for his interview on Jim Acosta's channel.
InSOBERdination!
Stopped reading after the into paragraph when you told us to buckle up, because I knew I had to read this one for myself before getting any more info! Awesome. Hope to circle back to your review when I finish.
I always, always see @paulscheer.com when these portraits crop up. Can we get a recreate? Michael Sheen is pretty good, too. Maybe a recreate-off! Props for the Rancid reference in the alt text!
This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.
I hope this ishmael finds you whale
I love this so much I FEEL IT IN MY BONES 😆
Will this train everybody else's chat gpt on their (HHS) weird bullshit?
These kidnappings (not deportation) are napalm now, Agent Orange later.
Cheers to 10 years of making videos 🥂
Theirs. We all can see it. Its awful.
Abolish the prison but put him under it first
Looks like I'm in good company. I swear i didn't read hers first.
Not that they have to be; i just knew they wouldn't be
Ok and to top it off those are not very bigly doodled breasts
Either medical care is a basic human right, or you have to convince people that needing medical care is for fuck-ups who don’t know how to eat vegetables
Sometimes you have to let the zombie flu run its corpse.
Ken Burns' Naked Lunch
Listen to me: Our profit from the post office is the post office. Our profit from a library is the library. Our profit from a school is the school. And our profit from our lives is life. Our life. Ours.
Wow! What a great line in @haileypiperfights.bsky.social's Prey Instict.
I think that if you are trying to understand the Anthropic book settlement, and you are not doing it in light of the (extremely) failed Google book settlement from 2011, you will never be able to understand what is happening.
Don't be so hard on yourself. I bet you can perform surgery as well as that person can write a book.
He was writing a series of moral stories to help underprivileged kids using a chatbot? What was the name of the book? A.i.Slop's Fables?
Erased!!
I grew up on seventies and eighties film - full of fucked up, sweaty, lopsided, hot, ugly faces, please let me live
What a badass!
No, calling a neurodivergent person with borderline personality disorder a “nut” is *not* okay
I'm fucking done CRABS SHOULD GET TO VOTE
The Internet used to have these free little pages where it was just text of some collected Frank Zappa quotes and I would print them out on a flywheel. "Here, I made this for you. What do you mean, what is it? It's a god damn étude, asshole!" - Frank Zappa And that's basically $3,000 right there.
NBC and The Atlantic sticking up for vaccines something is turning
Happy Together was an inescapable radio hit even in my youth when it was already an oldie but a goodie. 200 Motels shaped my young adulthood. Flo and Eddie exuded honed talent so unselfseriously. Rest in Phlorescence, Mark "Flo" Volman! "Centerville... a real nice place to raise your kids up..."
It is an extraordinary power to be able to declare a whole group of people exempt from constitutional protection because the dominant group finds understanding the nuances of its culture too vexing.

Every headline this year has read: Liars Lie to our Faces & We Entertain Their Vision
*Remembering planned 27-volume The Familiar* yeah, sounds about right
Bari Weiss is a hangnail.
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.
Ted Cruz is who you think of when I say Mike Johnson has the most shit-on-able face in politics.
The editor's note at the end was 🧑🍳😘
I understand being overly guarded, though we will do well to be able to recognize our comrades in the confrontation with big tech and bigger interests.
I hope you'll excuse me for saying... I'm reading Hagen as building on your suggestions: "this seems true [so]..."; "I agreed with the point, [so] I think..."; expressing questions to how to nail outreach and utility, how to implement. Your ideas remain fundamental to the discussion!
Good job, Sam!
This guy having a year, innit
The real danger here is that even if the vast majority of people WANT to keep vaccinating their kids, this legal change means that the insurance companies can now justify not covering them. There's no mandate anymore, so why cover them by default? anyway kids in florida are gonna get POLIO
Me to my five year old: How do you know John Cena? Five yro: Unspeakable Gamer Filling My House With Packing Peanuts ... goddammit.
Fucking cop in our public school
Not going to stop thinking about the comment that Trump is sending Confederate armies to occupy Northern cities. How much more is there to say? That’s not a “distraction.” It’s what the white supremacists who tried to secede have wanted for over a century. It’s not a distraction to them at all.
This is a pure antivaxx belief. There is no evidence to support it and massive amounts of evidence disproving it. Not only is this antiscientific, it seems to quite plainly be a pretense to reduce childhood vaccination as there is no plan to do anything actually scientific about this alleged concern
The real obscenity.
I don't know, I just think there should be a button we can turn on here that says "I don't ever want to see video of people being killed" Pretty sure if you have the technical capabilities to figure out how to slap a "non-sexual nudity" on everything, then this should be possible
"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

We're all looking for the guy who did this
I love you but it's Tuesday
I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't promote my own research here--which is about the 60+ year, far right insurgency inside the GOP that finally realized its goal with the nomination of an illiberal, conspiracy-obsessed, anti-leftist populist named Donald Trump. rightlandia.ghost.io/walter-huss-...

You're such a fucking kick ass writer.

I’m working on a fairly quick and dirty list of pro-Palestine speculative fiction authors and so far everyone I can think of or find is female or gender nonconforming. which is great! but uhhhh where are the men
I am not opposed to remakes, but the entire point of doing a remake of WAR OF THE ROSES now should've been to explore how a divorcing couple can use modern technology to torture each other in new and horrifying ways.
“How extremely profitable all of this precarity has become.” Author Brian Goldstone on working and homelessness in today’s America.
For every one person ai "replaces" in a workplace, two people should be hired at a higher level to supervise the ai's decisions. The positions should be called "artifactual oversight" and pay more than the initial replacement position.

FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD and this is what he’s come up with

Thei wante us talkinge on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.
Doug Stanhope would agree with you
The fact that SO MANY AUTHORS, big and small, are finding out our publishers couldn’t be bothered to register copyright for our work when the industry ALREADY treats us like an afterthought is just salt in an already bleeding wound.
What does Dropbox need ai for? Might be time to cancel, find another service
What's wild is that we could be living in a country that respects everyone's freedom, provides free health care and education, feeds and houses everyone, and runs on entirely renewable energy. It's just a matter of deciding to do it. Boggles my mind that such things are considered unrealistic.
